Dropped one at Iowa State tonight. They haven't won there since 2007, so not a huge surprise, especially with how they struggled against a similar team in Texas Tech.

A lot of unforced errors after ISU scrapped for longer rallies. Their at Texas on Friday after just a day's rest, so I would expect another loss there. K-State hasn't won a set against the Longhorns since 2011, so just taking a set from UT would be quite an accomplishment.

It will be interesting how the Rankings and RPI view this week.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Couldn't put the ball down tonight, just like Saturday. As bad as ISU has been this year their only conference home loss is to UT. Thankfully OU lost to TCU tonight.

Yuck, .217 is misleading. Putrid in the last two sets.

Not sure we can do better, but i feel we have been the exact same team for a decade now.

This year and last year for sure. Two seasons ago, when we beat Nebraska in the tourney we played well to finish the season. Not counting the years we didn't make the tournament when we were bad throughout these last two seasons are the only ones we limped to the finish after a strong start. Don't get me wrong though, these last two years have been awful finishes.

Tbh, last two seasons are by far the closest I've ever paid attention so that makes sense.

I suspect Suz is probably still trending okay on the John Currie traject-O-meter of coaching survivable.

This team should get better the next couple of years.

They lost an HM all conference middle blocker in Jones, who basically came out of nowhere to be good, a pretty good all-around player in Keating, quality depth out back in Madonia, and Taylor Johnson, who in my opinion just couldn't adjust to the increased offensive tempo enough to get on the court. Come to think of it that probably had a lot to do with Jones' success this season.

Brand, Kober, Reininger, Zumach, and maybe even Sassin are all more talented than anyone they lost, and all of them should be in Manhattan for at least the next two seasons. Zarda, Vogel, are decent, and are both young. Hell everyone is young.

They will have two seniors next season. Dallas Gardner, a walk-on and Mary Alice O'reilly a 6-3 opposite who I think is redshirting after being all conference in the WAC.

They are bringing in a couple of All-Americans from small Kansas towns, but I've got no clue how good they'll be. I've heard from multiple people that 2012 and 2013 were littered with team cancers, and have heard players allude to as much without naming names multiple times this season.

They should be trending up. I have no clue how high that might be, but I think Fritz and her staff are rejuvenated. I thought she might be done after last season. She seemed run down. I don't get that sense anymore.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Lost a few players in the offseason looking at the roster: Zarda, O'Reilly, Eaken

Gained a 6'3 MB/OH Hungarian. Suzie needs to bring in a DS I think since Zarda left.
