November 30, 20241 yr Author God this team is infuriating. I’m really going to be surprised if we manage to get to the Sweet 16 unless Madi goes ham I know she’s out, but this team is going to be very diff next year without her, Jenna and RR

November 30, 20241 yr Wow! What a comeback in that 5th set! Maybe thats what gets us momentum for the tournament

December 1, 20241 yr I'm all for Devin playing for Jenna in the front...she showed today she isn't afraid to swing at out-of-system balls, unlike Jenna. But the problem with that happening is that we will run out of substitutions really quickly if Devin plays front row and Jenna plays backrow, since Akana subs for Rutherford to play backrow and Binney subs in for Ames for serving/backrow defense. Devin's passing and backrow defense just isn't up to par with Jenna's at this point in time, so I just don't see JE playing Devin all 6 rotations with Madi in the post-season.
December 1, 20241 yr Author I mean, I’d rather have Devin’s offense so maybe I live with the back row play by having an OH2 who can take out the trash. Especially in rotation 1 Can always sub Jenna in if Devin is struggling in the back row

Who knows Definitely but I don't think Creighton is a terrible 2 seed match-up and I would rather play Penn State over Nebraska. This went as about as well as you could expect.

Not sure how RPI ended up, but last week Penn State was #4 in RPI. Pretty sure I would rather play Penn State over Nebraska and Pittsburgh as 1 seeds.

Just not sure PSU is any easier than NU. Not having to deal with Wisconsin and Franklin as a 2 seed is a win though.

Pitt is the most complete team and Babcock would probably serve Jenna into the shadow realm Nebraska would have the revenge factor from being embarrassed last year by us. Do not want. PSU or Louisville were fine with me. But also didn’t want Louisville to have that “revenge” factor from the 2022 title game. Plus it’s nice to go somewhere our team hasn’t been in a long time.
December 2, 20241 yr Sounds like an opportunity for a Surly road trip with a reappearance of the Pedo Bear outfit.
December 2, 20241 yr UT-Arlington only has 2 losses this year. Dang, good for them. I’m sure their RPI is like 100 but still it’s an accomplishment

Quite respectable. 2 losses were TCU and Rice back in September. They ran through the WAC, but had 2 five-setters to win the WAC tournament against Cal Baptist and GCU. Will they? Idk. Am I kind of salty that the committee waited until the first year post-Skylar Fields to match us up with USC? Yes. Edited December 2, 20241 yr by Js1

December 2, 20241 yr Author 7 minutes ago, perfectchaos007 said: That’s a name I haven’t heard in a while. She had quite the quiet and unremarkable career. Not all blue chips live up to their billing Two years at USC in 61 matches played: 1215 kills / 5.13 kills per set .305 hitting % 1.99 digs per set 120 total blocks (.51 blocks per set) 0.11 services aces per set + 85 additional matches at Texas put her at over 2,000 kills for her entire career. She was good, not great, for being a #1 overall player. But she went from a championship program at Texas to USC, where they went 22-11 (second round loss) and 19-13 (second round loss) in her two seasons. USC was a 6 seed in 2022, so they were never coming to Austin to face #1 Texas. And we all know in 2023, the committee saw aggy and creamed their jeans about putting them in Austin.
