I'll root for the Big Ten, especially the Badgerettes

sweeping the Huskers 3 times is impressive

To have thrice swept the Huskers is indeed a helluva feat.

I watched last night. It was fun to see them rip off 3 straight sets after falling behind 1-0.

New blood dammit!   Only ten teams have won a title in this sport in its nearly 40 years, and Washington was the last one in '05.   Only 3 of those ten are not on the 'west coast'.    I will have to DVR this one Sat.    Been buried lately as well work towards the sale of our company, so haven't caught much of this tourney.

my quick handicap on this one:   Stanford is obviously formidable.  I did see a set and a half of the match last night vs Minn on replay Plummer looks back to 100% (she missed about a month and a half, thus she wasn't qualified for AA status, denying her a 4th consecutive 1st team AA Team selection), she was her usual best collegiate player self last night.   Gray and Gates looked spectacular, Hentz is Hentz.    UW has their work cut out for them, but if they get the kind of production that Haggerty and Loberg have been giving this tournament, this should be a very good match.  If its predominantly  Rettke, UW is going to be in trouble, even with a great setter in Hilley.    UW is in this spot IMO, because they are finally successful in serving really aggressively and getting better contributions from others OH.   Baylor, which beat Wisconsin in Madison in Sept,  was flustered in serve receive last night, and the setter had no chance, and frankly had a tough night.   I hope UW serves to Plummer as much as possible, not that she's bad in receive, but gotta make her work, make others take swings.  I doubt they can out-offense Stanford, which frankly toyed with Minnesota last night with transition play.

The new coach played for OSU in the late 90s.

Not much of a resume beyond that, though.

The Nebraska volleyball program and head coach John Cook announced the addition of Missouri transfer Kayla Caffey to the Huskers' 2020 roster on Thursday. Caffey, a 6-0 middle blocker, completed two seasons with the Tigers and earned her bachelor's degree and will be a graduate transfer for the Huskers this fall with two years of eligibility remaining. 

"Kayla will bring a lot of offensive firepower to our team," Cook said. "She was one of the leading hitters in the SEC and we like the fact that she's a graduate student and has a lot of experience. She played at a storied high school program, Mother McAuley in Chicago. She's got an offensive-oriented game and is very athletic. We're excited about the impact she can make with our team."

Caffey earned her bachelor's degree in elementary education at Missouri and will pursue a master's degree in elementary education at Nebraska. In 2019, Caffey ranked second in the SEC and ninth nationally with a .408 overall hitting percentage during the season. Her .417 hitting percentage in SEC play also ranked second in the conference. Caffey averaged 1.77 kills per set and had a team-high 82 blocks for the Tigers last year, who went 22-8 and were eliminated in the second round of the NCAA Tournament by the Huskers at the Devaney Center.

Caffey had a career-high 13 kills on .684 hitting in a Nov. 8 win against Alabama. She had 12 matches where she hit .400 or better and had a career-high six blocks three times during her sophomore season.

Wonder if we'll see a shorter schedule this year.

Gonna need a new thread, probably Aug 1.
