December 2, 20196 yr Author The computers (Pablo) pretty much agree Texas has the easiest path to the FF, ahead of Baylor, Wisky and Tree. Why? Because we didn’t get a P12 or B1G team flown in. We got pretty lucky there it wasn’t a USC/UCLA or Michigan type team or even Rice. As well, we got paired with a G5 team as our Regional Semis team instead of a potential B1G team like Purdue. Lastly, our potential Regional Final team is either someone we swept without Butler (Minny) or a team from a pretty weak P5 conference (Gata). Meanwhile, the team we didn’t want to face in the F4 (Tree) got BYU (strong), Utah (decent), PSU (good) and Pitt (if they get to the RF, they have a huge chip on their shoulder). Baylor got the flown in one of P12 opponent I figured we’d host (USC) and Wisky got the other (UCLA). Clearly, we gave thanks to the committee and sent our Christmas cards.
December 2, 20196 yr Yeah, I was gonna say I thought our road looked pretty smooth. As I guess it should be as numba fuckin 2.

I think SC is healthy. Purdue is one of those teams that can dig everything you hit. And then you have Kentucky or Washington - no world beaters but no slouches, especially UW. Bijam can beat you herself. Purdue has a win over Corn UW has wins over Creighton, Wisky x2, Tree, Utah Kentucky has wins over SC and Gata x2 Baylor actually got a pretty difficult bracket for the #1 seed.
December 2, 20196 yr I like the draw. It feels good to be in a position again of just having to take care of business at home to get to Pittsburgh.
December 2, 20196 yr On 11/30/2019 at 6:51 PM, SuingToGetAMessageBoard? said: Molly Phillips with the straight zeros in the stat sheet despite playing four sets. Is that accurate. Molly is being used mostly in a "jumbo package" where she comes in for Jhenna on the front row when we're serving. She only played 10 total points in 4 sets. As for the tournament, we definitely got a better draw than Baylor. The only B1G seed we'll meet before the FF would be if Minny can get past Fla.
December 3, 20196 yr https://texassports.com/news/2019/12/3/volleyball-fields-named-big-12-freshman-of-the-year.aspx Quote Freshman Skylar Fields was named the 2019 unanimous Big 12 Freshman of the Year for her performance over the season. Fields ranks second in the Conference in hitting percentage (.333), playing a major role in the Longhorns leading the nation as a team (.319) in the category. She has put down 220 kills, adding 81.0 blocks to average 3.06 points per set.
December 3, 20196 yr Author shes probably National FOY too. Possibly third team AA. White should be 1st and Logan 2nd. Jhenna SHOULD get an AA nod but Texas setters tend to get overlooked Bc “anyone” can set our hitters to a high % is the perception.
December 6, 20196 yr Easy win over a totally outmatched team. We were more aggressive at the service line than we needed to be, but JE has proven he's not going to dial that back. O'Neal was the only starter that got less than 12 swings. UCSB is a slightly better hitting team than Albany, but I still don't see how we lose a set tonight.

December 7, 20196 yr Catching up and pulling away. We haven't had to play anyone this fast that I can recall. They're very athletic.

December 7, 20196 yr 25-22 on a cringey but effective Micaya tip. The Gauchos remind me of some Texas teams past. Athletic, monster hitters, faster, a bit erratic on passing.
December 7, 20196 yr Author But also Just now, Lobo said: Well shit, we're in trouble already and it's barely 8:00p. It’s 1-1. Calm the fuck down.
December 7, 20196 yr Author We dropped a set in the 2nd round in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. All 3-1 wins. Chill.
