2024 Volleyball: SEC, here comes Daddy

[Rickylovesweed 14,087]

There are holes in other spots but the biggest issue remains middles. 

We needed to add an experienced middle from the portal. Singletary is good defensively (at times) but other than that we aren't getting much of anything from our middles.

Agreed but setter not helping them.  Consistently poor passes to them it felt like.  And feeding Wenaas and Devin was the strategic error that cost us game.  Setters played poorly.

How did I not notice Indiana has a 5’3 setter? Their other setter is 5’10 so I guess they run a 6-2 because no way you let any of them in the front row 

[Js1 83,677]

Texas fell to 9th

During that one rotation, those are your pin hitters.  They can't seem to find any offense out of the middles so, especially when out of system, the setters are going to the pins.  In the aggie game that was a disaster.

Back row attack with Skinner is a great option if in system at all.

Hosting a super is out of reach now, so let’s focus on winning the conference and hoping for a favorable draw. We’ll likely have to play at Pitt, Nebraska, or Stanford in the sweet 16/Elite 8

That was dead and buried before the aggy loss. We were going to have to go undefeated or with 1-loss to even have a prayer of being top 4 seed with our schedule. 

Texas had 1 Top 10 win on the resume - Wisconsin to open the season.  We lost to Stanford and Minnesota, the only other teams in the committee's top 16 that we played, so 3 total matches against the committee's top 16. 

Nebraska, in addition to playing other highly ranked B1G teams, also played Kentucky, TCU, SMU, Creighton, Stanford and Louisville.  5 of those were in the committees top 16.

Pitt, in addition to playing other highly ranked ACC teams, also played Oregon, USC and Penn State.  All 3 of those are in the committee's top 16

Stanford, in addition to playing other highly ranked ACC teams, also played Minnesota, Wisconsin, Texas, Nebraska and Kentucky.  4 of those in the committee's top 16

Louisville, in addition to playing other highly ranked ACC teams, also played Wisconsin, Tennessee, Penn State, Missouri, Creighton, Kentucky, Nebraska.   4 of those in the committee's top 16.

Ignoring the loss to Miami, and aggy after the committee reveal, the SEC teams did us no favors - Kentucky and Florida both are big let downs and we didn't schedule tough enough in non-conf play.  The ACC has 4 teams in the top 16, the B1G has 7, fuck, even the Big 12 has 2.  The SEC has 1 - us.

Finally back in action tonight at 8pm on SEC Network versus Mizzou, who comes in on a 6 match winning streak.  Marina Crownover returns to Austin. 

Texas still has outright first place of the SEC at 7-1, but Mizzou is hot on our trail at 6-2, along with Kentucky. 

[WBT 20,280]

Jhenna Gabriel is back as an assistant for Mizzou 

[Gut Wagon 8,038]

Sloppy so far. I'm fighting the urge to accept that this is simply who we are in 2024. 

[WBT 20,280]

TO, 15-12 Texas

[ATXbronco 4,006]

Every time I hear the announcers say her name, my inner nerd comes out of the closet

[Cairn Horn88 8,089]

25-21 Ladies first set

[Js1 83,677]

Woah, Miami swept Stanford 

[ATXbronco 4,006]

Not a great start 

This is called the "Second set" right?

[Js1 83,677]

wtf 

[perfectchaos007 6,542]

Our patented 2nd set slump in action

[WBT 20,280]

TO, 13-11 Mizzou after an 11-3 start

[WBT 20,280]

25-19 Mizzou in the 2nd.  We tied it up but ran out of gas

[Js1 83,677]

This team is so out of sorts 

[Cairn Horn88 8,089]

Crap

19-25  Mo

[Gut Wagon 8,038]

Just awful play all around. Errors galore. 

[perfectchaos007 6,542]

We expended too much focus and energy clawing back into that set, and then fell apart at the end. All tied up. 

[Dbeasy 14,791]

Is there a way to cast this to a tv? I’m watching in the espn app, but my wife wants to also watch? I don’t see a Google cast option.

25-17 Texas wins the 3rd

[Cairn Horn88 8,089]

One more set ladies…..finish them.

[Gut Wagon 8,038]

Nice service game there by Carlson. And much more solid net play by several ladies. Now...don't let this go 5. 

[perfectchaos007 6,542]

20-18 Missouri. timeout Texas

[LonghornSean 3,914]

Getting nervy down the stretch here

[WBT 20,280]

Madi out here shanking serve receives like Wenaas

[Js1 83,677]

Ugh, I dont want to play 5

[Gut Wagon 8,038]

I realize Mizzou has a decent team. I'm just not accustomed to us having so much trouble controlling points. Even the ones we're winning don't really seem to be under control. We're scrambling to stay in points we should be dictating. This is our concern, dude. 

[perfectchaos007 6,542]

Texas and Mizzou playing 5. Texas is 0-3 in 5 setters this year. 

[Js1 83,677]

Ugh. Play 5

[shadow_operative2.0 15,740]

Playing 5. 

[WBT 20,280]

26-24 Mizzou.  Going 5.  😬

[LonghornSean 3,914]

Good time to get our first win in five 

[Gut Wagon 8,038]

Akana's service game remains horrendous. Make it stop.

[totallynotabuttpirate 5,324]

Is this announcer a fucking aggy or something? He's mentioned last week at least 30 times. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,740]

We fucked. 

[WBT 20,280]

TO, 12-9 Mizzou

This team just isn’t gonna do shit
