One thing that was interesting.  When Gabriel was settting, the tipping virtually disappeared.  When Shook came back in, it magically reappeared.

  • I took my nieces to the TCU game in Ft Worth.  The youngest is a 12 year old libero for her school team and a HUGE Longhorn fan.  When it got to 12-12 in the 5th, she said "They're so young and probab

    My thoughts so far.  1) I hate to say it because I loved Cat but I think we upgraded at libero. Petersen won't make the wow plays that Cat made but she looks to be much more consistent in serve r

  • Screw her. I predict team chemistry is 1000x better this year. 

Sydney still hasn't adjusted to that server yet....

Yep, good observation!

Serving whoas from the beginning of the season are coming back....

Bri's blocking technique is worsening as the season progresses.  Actually, Morgan's too.

Butler has been checked out for a few matches now. Not even showing up mentally.

Just for fun, I kinda want to see what a 5-2 would look like with Shoot setting on front row and Gabriel subbing to set on the back row.

Gabriel's defense, coverage, serve, and footwork getting under passes looked somewhat better than Shook, but having a taller block and setter attack option with Shook at the front would be helpful.

Thing about this match is we can get right back in this with just a little bit of ball control. Our block has been god awful but Kansas still has termination issues. 

I have no trust in the ability to get any ball control though.

Kansas isn't even having to terminate because we have absolutely no ball control.

That might work....we would need Logan to play all the way around or we would run out of subs.

Micaya needs to stay after each practice and get 100 serves in before going home....

18-16 Texas. Timeout Kansas. 

Kansas better put us away because we won't continue to play this bad. Hell we've played as bad as we can and we've had a chance to steal 2 sets. 

Still forgetting that we are playing 4 Freshmen... but upper classmen aren't playing consistent enough to overcome that.

Luketic isn't overwhelming, but she's effective. 

 

 

Seems like she is hitting the ball harder tonight....probably heard me say she doesn't have the arm to play at this level....

Kansas ball control hasn't been great tonight. We can absolutely win this if we just get our shit together. 

We're giving away free points on service errors, net violations, and terrible sets. Kansas will give us points if we just minimize the mistakes.

She doesn't blast straight into the block, which you can't say for everyone.

It's a couple points away from being 2-1 Texas. 

Elliott needs to tell this team they can win this if they just bring their C game. We've been so shitty and we could easily be up in this match. 

Tonya seems worthless as a coach....Elliott needs to get an assistant that can coach SETTING.... Ashley Engle, Michele Kocher, Hannah Allison, and Chloe Collins all improved when Salima Rockwell was here....Chloe was lucky to have Evan Sanders (who was a volunteer assistant coach) and is now an assistant at Colorado as a setter coach...Ashley definitely needs one!

KU has zero reason for confidence.  We reduce the errors slightly and they lose both sets badly and get swept.

Have wondered about this.  We seem to have declined since Salima left, especially now that no one has been coached by her.

Texas should be shading on Burse. I'm not sure anybody else can terminate for Kansas. 

Micaya is ALWAYS a step slow covering right back line.

One thing that seems to characterize our losses or poor play is when the opponent is digging really well.  We just don't dig that well.

 

I keep seeing that we have bad spacing on defense a lot too.

18 all just like that. When things go to shit we can't stabilize things. It's all or nothing. 

Fucking Autumn and Sydney right next to each other at the 3M line then.  Watch, lots of bad spacing.
