December 4, 20214 yr Been watching this game after the UT basketball game and didn't realize Jermaine O'Neil daughter is a UT volleyball player. Wish I was still at UT, go get me one of these cute tall volleyball girls. They weren't this cute when I was there
December 4, 20214 yr Nice win. I was worried about this one with Rice always giving us issues and how well they played yesterday.
December 4, 20214 yr I had my doubts about Nalani, thought she was going to be another McCoy (gets to most stuff, but not very clean), but I think she's going to be very, very good.

December 4, 20214 yr Went to the last few matches. This was the most complete effort. We need better play on the back line. Parra needs to improve a lot. She gives up too many points by being a slow decision maker. Gabriel shouldn’t serve until she can get more than 20% inbounds.

I'm not sure if she's having a slump or if the hitting/serving from Baylor and Rice are kind of exposing her.

December 4, 20214 yr Texas passing number was around 1.47 last night. Ideally, teams should be closer to 2.0. And yet we still hit .490. That’s insane. Basically a kill every other attempt with shit passing Rice at .340 was like a kill every third attempt. Insane offensive numbers for both teams in an NCAA setting.

I had to look up passing metrics (I remain still very ignorant of the sport despite years of fandom). https://coachingvb.com/scoring-serving-and-passing-effectiveness/ An overpass or ace counts as 0, while a pass that gives the setter all options is a 3, two options a 2, and one or a non-setter set 1. I think our passing, when there was passing, was pretty decent. The overpasses killed us. I guess that's like asking Mrs. Lincoln about the play, but still. Rice's serving and sharp hitting produced those overpasses.

Rice's serving and sharp hitting produced those overpasses. Parra was 0.6. That fucking bad and probably one of the lowest scores for someone in her position to play back row defense and receive serve. Logan was a 1.79. Nani was a 1.71 and Petersen a 1.29. When we pass properly, great. It’s hit or miss if we even do it averagely. But I guess doesn’t matter if you hit .490 with below average passing. Edited December 4, 20214 yr by Js1
December 5, 20214 yr Down goes the defending champs!!!! Illinois defeats Kentucky 3-1 The top half of our quarter is busted!!!
December 5, 20214 yr A rather disappointing development out of LexVegas, there will be no rematch. Bring it home, Horns.
December 5, 20214 yr That should help- unless Illinois is an under ranked Big 10 squad that can beat anyone on a given night.

December 5, 20214 yr Just now, Sal said: Always fun facing the big girls of the corn Yep, Lexi Sun took her bonus year of eligibility because she didn't want her career to end at the hands of Texas. Now, she gets to play her last game or two in Gregory.
December 5, 20214 yr Just reading Zoe Fleck, UCLA libero who transferred from UCSB, is grad transferring for next year. Following the Texas and Wisky staffs. Texas was a finalist last year. Iosia and Fleck + everyone but Butler coming back offensively would be 🔥
December 5, 20214 yr Briefly checked on Jhenna's instagram live and she expressed some sadness that she won't be playing against her friends on the Hawaii team next round. At least that takes away any potential distraction
December 5, 20214 yr Kansas ended up being the only unseeded team to make the Sweet 16. Everything else was chalk

The two 12:05 slots will be ESPN+ and the rest on ESPNU. Texas will probably get that prime time slot, I think, or maybe 5pm. That’s the best matchup of the day, to me. Last time we hosted, we got 3pm on ESPNU - the loss to Louisville.

December 5, 20214 yr 1 minute ago, Js1 said: 2, 15, 10, unseeded Yep, and to correct myself from earlier, Kansas AND Illinois were the only 2 unseeded teams to make the S16.
December 5, 20214 yr According to the NCAA site, all S16 matches will be played on Thursday, but no times have been announced.
December 5, 20214 yr 3 minutes ago, perfectchaos007 said: Yep, and to correct myself from earlier, Kansas AND Illinois were the only 2 unseeded teams to make the S16. Also the first 2 matches were our “sub regional” so this is our “regional not super regional. Lol semantics really
December 5, 20214 yr Interesting comment from Jerritt re: crowd noise, at the end of the post-Rice PC. He said it gets so loud in the Greg that the team can’t hear each other on serve-receive, can’t communicate coverage on seams. Seems like we need to flip the script on crowd noise: loud during our serve, quiet(er) during their serve. Just like football: quiet on offense, loud on defense. Will be a challenge to tell the fans that, though.
