  • 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. 

Tough game for Sydney but Logan really brought it today.  Hit .364 against a good team, 2 blocks and 9 digs

So,for those of us that only follow UT volleyball (but passionately)...what am I looking for in Florida/BYU this evening?  We narrowly beat UF earlier this year, and BYU obviously is stacked and at home.  It's obviously out of our hands who wins, but who do we match up against better and can we make it last 5 sets that somehow lasts past midnite?

Check out the box score for set 2 of Minnesota - Oregon. Oregon won it 41-39. That had to be intense. 

Oregon fought off nine set points. At 38-37 Minnesota thought they won the set, but Oregon challenged it and the officials ruled correctly that a dig had hit the ground. Oregon just won the third set to go up 2-1. Would be brutal for Minnesota to lose with the Final Four in Minneapolis this year.

So how has post injury BYU looked? What are the thoughts on this match with Floriduh? 

OK, so, has anyone ever seen fans allowed to stand right in touching distance of the server like that in an indoor match? Am I the only one who thinks that's over the top horseshit?

Was she bad today? I didn't really notice, but we did have some fairly brutal first contacts. 

The announcers said meatchicken was a tough serving team and I buy that.

Ide take neutral site Florida over BYU at their home. We beat UF earlier this year with Shook as our setter. We want Florida imo

Real rough in service receive and not great passing overall.  Too many passes landing at the 10 ft line or out wide in sets 2-4.  And Michigan is a really tough serving team: 3-to-4 aces to errors ratio for the year and that's exactly what they did tonight (6 aces, 8 errors).  5 of those 6 aces were on Peterson.

Sydney's defense was fine as was her role as secondary setter.

Learn me about what happened to White. She came back? 

She came back like a boss. Hope it doesn't seize up on her overnight. 

Didn't get much clarity on the precise injury. 

 

And watchespn blows dead goats. 

 

I have proof. 

Landed on someone’s foot, was literally carried off, magically returned like 10 minutes later. 

Gata had the morms 24-19 but just won the first 25-23. Thought they were going to choke it off. 

#1 seed has lost the last 8 straight years? WTF?

Gata just freeballed a free ball. Thought only we did that. 😬😬

What channel. All I can find is the usual inane ESPN drivel.

Espn3,the app or website. 

We are probably going down tomorrow. BYU is a bunch of adenoidal freaks.

 

However Florida is not real good.

Yeah the lift call on a set was weird

Yeah that wasn't a lift. And then they let shit go on the other side that was just as bad.

A tough matchup for Texas playing BYU at home. I think Texas has to be almost flawless to win and I just don’t see that happening. I just don’t think this is a good matchup for Texas.  Also White needs to scrap the jump serve. 

Only program in the country to play in every regional final for the past 13 years. Consistency.

Unfortunately agree on all counts, especially the last. Baffling that she never tries a different serve.

Yeah I don't think she needs to scrap it. But she does need to mix it up more. A heavy topspin serve is the most predictable serve. If you hit it all the time and esp hit it the same way, it's not that hard to pass. When you have one very good serve, it's always gonna help to learn to change speeds & location more & mix in some floaters, etc. She could really be deadly then.

Is it technically game or match? 

Match, but I guess it doesn't matter any more since they took the 'game' terminology away and replaced it with 'set'. One of the stupidest things I've ever seen.

I guess volleyball is the one sport where it is blurred the most. I’ve always thought match though.

Yeah, it's a match, where you have to win 3 of 5 games. That's always been very clear imho. Calling 'games' 'sets' is what's stupid (esp when it's being done to somehow make the shit easier for casual fans to understand). Set? Set of what? Set of points? So stupid. In tennis, it actually makes sense. Not so much in volleyball.

Illinois hammering Wiscy right now. Up 2 to 1 and rolling in the 4th. They look good... These Big 10 teams don’t make a lot of mistakes and keep everything off the floor. Long rallies. It’s a scrap for every point.

Yeah Michigan's D was pretty nice too.
