well, the huskers are a heck of a team there, but so do we. i predict that we’ll get up and dust this loss off and begin our next winning streak on friday

We looked really good in the first set. We looked really really shitty in the second set. The third set is likely who we are and that's a team that will need to claw, scratch, and fight to be on the bubble.

Mansfield seems to want to only block one in the middle, we did it all night with no adjustments, at all so I'm guessing it's philosophical. Nebraska absolutely dominated that middle solo blocker and all good teams will.

The transfer setter is still adjusting to the team. She isn't bad, at all, but it's wild that she was first team all Pac 12. I don't see that at all.

I really like Aniya Clinton. Suzie did a great job recruiting her. She's really aggressive and the moment didn't seem too big for her, at all. She and Meyers are the only underclassmen who play. I hope Mansfield is a good recruiter.

Losing Aliyah Goolsby to Iowa State hurts. Cats were at least in it till the end.

I think she was HM..better than Hinkle at least. If they can go 8-1 in non con (would have to beat Rice at home) then could be on the right side of the bubble as long as they don’t suck in conference play.

tough times as the volleyball team lost to lipscomb

Hitting .296 & losing usually indicates some defensive issues. I didn't see the match so dunno.

How early is too early to pull the ripcord?

What? We're no longer party rockin after winning matches when we're hitting 13%?

nebraska beat stanford on the road yesterday and people here are HYPE. and NOT just because football is so unbelievably shitty here (though it's obviously a factor).

We miss Baka more than I thought we would...

Hopefully this coaching staff can recruit given that damn near every key player from this mediocre team will be gone next year.

Dirty Deeds · « **Reply #1289 on:** September 22, 2023, 07:11:22 PM »

They aren't even close, can't block, can't pass, can't dig. Painfully difficult on their attackers.

70% platform sets don't win many D1 VB matches. Brutal

Yeah, enjoy those conference wins, they're going to be in very short supply.

For what it's worth, Missouri might be worse than we are.

Cats sweep WVU in Morgantown. Got progressively better as the match went on. Back home Saturday to host Cincinnati.

Best we've looked this season, promising.

Kid In the Hall · « **Reply #1298 on:** September 28, 2023, 09:48:40 AM »

It probably was the most complete match of the season, but that WVU team is... not good (to be kind). Winless in the Big 12 last year and losses to Davidson, Colgate, Old Dominion, etc. this year.

We've got to get better play from Carter (particularly on the passing side), but I'm not sure it's gonna happen.

MakeItRain · « **Reply #1299 on:** September 29, 2023, 12:20:52 AM »

Yeah, that ship has sailed. Carter's descendance from her freshman and sophomore year to her junior to senior year should be on unsolved mysteries. It's like her body was taken over by the volleyball monstars.
