  1. Dang, knew she hadn’t played much recently but I thought she was better after playing the full match against Kentucky
  2. Also, slightly off topic - but does anyone else think Washington coach Keegan Cook and Stanford coach Kevin Hambly look similar, especially from behind? I wasn’t paying too close attention to him, and for two seconds I thought Hambly had taken a new job
  3. 🧹SWEEEEEEEEP*🧹 *just in reverse…after raising everyone’s blood pressure
  4. Kansas upset Creighton - go Big 12!
  5. I feel like Eggleston, Para (mostly), Syd, and Iosia have shown positive back row improvement for the most part. I’m more optimistic about the ability to develop back row SR and defense than I have been in awhile. It’s definitely not perfect, and I still think we could recruit better…but not terrible
  6. That finger looks like rubber on slow mo - I think there was a touch, but who knows
  7. I don’t watch Rice outside of their matches against us, but she has always played well and sets really nice quick sets. But her form is so odd to me - she gets her feet behind most balls, but it’s almost like she sets only using her wrists
  8. Did he just say this was the 3rd largest crowd in history? If so - did they recently add seats, increase ticket numbers, or something else. Because that seems like an odd record breaking crowd considering how many other “high profile” matches have been played in Gregory.
  9. Also, our ball control is horrendous
  10. I know they are Baylor announcers, but they are very annoying tonight
  11. Was this the first match that Iosia brought the jump serve back? I think this was the most consistent and effective serving she has had as a Longhorn. Tonight, Baylor’s serve receive broke down during important points, but IMO Baylor is missing a well rounded offense - When they beat us in 2019, their middles and right sides were solid weapons that played well against us - Van der Mark was pretty quiet tonight.
  12. The Championship Committee revealed their top 10, and put Louisville at #1 and Texas at #2. (Also, Baylor is at #8)
  13. So we play again tomorrow? 😬😬
  14. I can’t tell if our hits are seeming weak because of the sets, KUs defense/block, or if it’s just a bad day for both Eggleston and Fields. also, are KUs jerseys an eggshell color? It’s kinda odd
  15. Eff Baylor (any other school I might feel bad for) but it's a Friday night, they are ranked in the top 10, haven't dropped a set in Big 12 play, etc. - and they can barely get 300 people there. Tbh 300 may even be a high estimate. Surely that many people dont travel with the football team for tomorrow's away game to be an excuse for low turnout.
  16. IMO It seems our block isn’t getting set well enough - it is making back row defense so much harder. (plus obviously the missed serves are rough) I think there have been a few iffy calls, and I’m wondering if those are shaking them up more than usual with it being at A&M
  17. It’s weird that I only recognize maybe one Stanford player - such a young team, but that worked out well for them with the young teams with Plummer, Fitzmorris, Gray, Hentz, Alade, etc But we need to pass better in serve receive *pretends to be shocked*
  18. That looked like a touch to me
  19. Do you have Fox Sports - I’m watching on the app
  20. I think they had to just about beg O’Brien to play last year, since it seemed she had accepted her career being over - she graduated from Illinois a year early, despite being the starting libero. Looking back, I wonder if Elliott knew she wasn’t going to return because he gave Iosia the chance to play libero quite a bit after Morgan got COVID. It is looking like Parra is playing well in the back row this second set. I wonder if Elliott will try the 6-2 at all this match
  21. You’re right, I did not miss the black court…but I have played on some weird colored courts, and I’m wondering if the black makes it easier to have line awareness bc the orange can sometimes blend a little into the wood court. anyone watching Baylor v Minnesota?? Pretty good match for early in the season
  22. They released the Olympic roster, and Chiaka is going to Tokyo!!! Would love to see her win a gold medal🏅🤘 It is interesting that they are only taking one libero (no DS), and the alternate libero was originally an OH for Penn State in college. But, I guess international sub limits forcing OHs to play all 6 rotations can make a DS sub not needed.
  23. Chiaka has been selected as a member of the #2 U.S. Women’s National Team, attempting to defend the FIVB Volleyball Nations League title May 25 - June 24 in Rinini, Italy (hopefully she also makes the Olympic squad!).
  24. TV #s from this year’s volleyball championship match. It was the most watched show on ESPN2 this month. Up 28% from 2019! 202(1)0: 696K (Kentucky vs. Texas) 2019: 533K (Stanford vs. Wisc) 2018: 938K (Stanford vs. Neb) 2017: 1 mil (Neb vs. Florida) 2016: 576K (Stanford vs. Texas) (per Holly Rowe and David A Portney on Twitter)
  25. Off topic from the NCAA Championship - but we should be closeish to the USA Olympic National Team roster announcement (I think sometime before May 25th). Wondering if we will have any Longhorns on the team - Rachael Adams is still on the National Team roster, and Chiaka Ogbogu has gotten some good playing time with Team USA as well!
