2019 B1G Volleyball Thread

Rutgers beat Iowa.  Wtf.   

[ELA]

MSU closed the weekend by getting swept in Champaign.  Since beating Rutgers to get to 4-3 in Big Ten play, MSU has lost 5 in a row, losing 15 of 16 sets.  Ugly.

tOSU smacks Bucky in Columbus tonight in four sets.  Match really fell apart for UW while up 24-21 in the first.  First loss for UW in the conference this year, but a really big blow to hosting a regional.  Still lots of matches left.

PSU/MN/Nebraska on the heels of the B1G pre-season favorite Badgers.

edit: not flukey, tOSU appears to be catching fire all of the sudden.   Definitely trending opposite of Sparty.

nice win

[MarqHusker]

With six matches left here's a current snapshot of the standings.  Things at the top going pretty much to script.  UW/Minn play this week on BTN.  Rutgers won its first ever road match in its B1G history.    Nationally, Texas is #1 with Pitt#2 and Baylor#3.  UW and Stanford round out top 5.    Stanford has had some significant injuries but are starting to get players back as the tournament approaches.

She had a 50 kill game this month.  Should be a good US National team player.
