I think this (like hockey and baseball) has enough interest to have it's own thread too.

It's really soccer, wrestling, track, etc, where you get random posts here and there that don't need their own.  But during the fall, it seems like 80% of the Olympic thread is volleyball.  Probably because the Big Ten has been pretty good recently.

I as well attended the Red and White scrimmage (OSU version) and had the entire student section to myself. I had never sat there before. Even as a student, I didn't dare enter that scrum.


They have a TV game on Friday @ BYU on their network.


I attended that game last year, in the Blue Jackets arena. They had to play a game there in order to host the Final Four in that venue. BYU came back from down 0-2 to win it in 5.

Both Nebraska and UW have some potentially serious injury issues on their hands to open the season.

Nebraska's setter and returning AA Kelly Hunter may not start the season this weekend (matches at Florida and vs Oregon).

UW's returning AA  Molly Haggerty had back surgery over the summer and her status remains closely guarded to start the year.  Some pretty broad speculation about this as usual on the webs.  UW hosting the B1G v ACC challenge this weekend.

I am thinking the Big Ten has some good teams, especially when Nebraska and Penn State are in the Top 10 nationally but not at the top of the Big Ten preseason rankings.


Iowa is up and coming, and has an excellent coach coming into his 3rd year. Bond Shymansky was 172-64 at Georgia Tech. He was 118-45 at Marquette. The turn around at Iowa is taking a little longer, but after two distinctly nonwinning seasons Iowa was 19-13 overall, and 9-11 in the Big Ten in 2016. Iowa has a lot of good high school girls volleyball players that in the past landed at other schools. I think it will turn around.


Bond Shymansky is an Iowa alum, to boot.

Yes, Bond has been the best thing for Iowa vball in forever.   I was bummed to see him leave Marquette, but that was inevitable.   Good fit for him.   The state of Iowa has always had talent, it just always left for Lincoln or places elsewhere, until CJ showed up in Ames, and now Bond in Iowa City.  No. Iowa has had a nice stretch as well.

Looking forward to this season, should be a good one!

Horns open the season at a tournament in Gainesville where they'll play both Florida and Oregon, and then the next week host a tournament in Austin where they'll play Minnesota.  I'm planning on going to that one.

I love the way the top volleyball teams all schedule each other, makes for such a competitive season.

Usually the first four weeks are tourneys, with one at home and three on the road. 

Initially OSU was scheduled into the usual format, but Dayton is moving their Tourney to Columbus, and the Carolina Tourney got cancelled and replaced with the two ND games. 

So OSU is essentially at home three of the four weekends, and have already played their lone road tourney at BYU.

I watched Minnesota on TV last night in their game against Texas A&M Corpus Christi.  They looked very solid, against a Corpus Christi team that has some game.

The Lady Longhorns play Minnesota tonight at 8 Central, and I'm still thinking I might head down for the game.  A friend has an extra ticket.  Should be a pretty full gymnasium for that one.

The No. 12 Nebraska volleyball team will play two matches against the UCLA Bruins this weekend at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. Instead of hosting a second tournament this year, the Huskers will play the 11th-ranked Bruins on back-to-back nights. The last time Nebraska played a non-conference foe in back-to-back matches was at Notre Dame on Sept. 3-4 in 2004, both Husker victories.

The Huskers and Bruins will battle on Friday at 8 p.m. on BTN and BTN2GO.com. Saturday’s rematch will begin at 7 p.m. and will be televised on NET and streamed on BTN2GO.com.

LINCOLN — Both of Nebraska's outside hitters had big nights to help the No. 12-ranked Huskers make quick work of No. 11 UCLA Friday night at the Devaney Center.

Junior Mikaela Foecke had a match-high 13 kills, and senior Annika Albrecht set a season high with 12 kills to lead Nebraska (4-2) to a 25-15, 25-21, 25-20 sweep of the Bruins.

Minnesota played really well and is downright legit.  Congrats to the Gophers and best of luck the rest of the season.

Horns played well, our young talent is going to be devastating in about 2 years, but Minnesota is the real deal and just flat out-played Texas tonight.

I absolutely love that in sports like volleyball, top programs can play each other early and not jeopardize their chances in the tourney later.  Makes these early season match ups so entertaining.

The difference is every girl in Nebraska grows up playing volleyball, over anything else, and the whole country plays football, though decreasingly so, save a few states in the south .

The amount of D1 vball talent produced in Nebraska is remarkable. I remember doing a study of Big Xii rosters in the 90s, and only the state of Texas had more players on rosters in the XII than Nebraska and it was relatively close.  20+ million to 1.5million.  On a per capita basis it is Nebraska by a wide margin in the US.

It seems as though there's been a minor rule change regarding set #5.

For the past couple of years, the teams would remain on the same side of the court that they were on for the 4th set, then switch sides as soon as one of the teams reaches 8 points.

Last night I was at a mid-week game where they switched sides after the fourth set, and then switched sides again once one of the teams reached 8 points.

That's perceptive.  I guess I haven't watched a match go 5 yet this season.  Didn't know this.  I'm still trying to keep track of the challenge rules for replay. 
Title: Re: 2017 Women's Vball (B1G enough for its own thread)
Post by: Brutus Buckeye on September 14, 2017, 10:09:31 AM
I think the best rule change ever was awarding a point for a side out.

When I was at OSU, a team had to be serving in order to score a point, and the games would just go on forever.

At multiple points in a set there would be like 5 side outs in a row; some with really long volleys.

 It seemed like ten minutes would go by without either team being awarded a single point. 

Good for stats, I suppose. But bad for just about everything else.

Rally scoring was the best change to the game by a mile.   Full credit goes to former Michigan State (and USC) HC Chuck Erbe.  He lobbied for that (among other things, he was an eccentric guy) forever.  The side out, play to 15 was indeed brutal.  I can think of a couple of matches I attended in the mid 90s that were absolutely 3 hours plus.    Even 3 set lopsided matches could drag.   It was also ruinous for TV scheduling purposes.

All seasonal brews are Just in Time inventory.  If you don't have it to the distributor by August,  you run the risk of not getting it on the truck at all.   That's why its a seasonal, not an actual October beer.  You wait til October and as noted Utee has moved on to buying sixers (or more) of Winter Ales, as the existing inventory of Octoberfest brews sits in the discount rack getting old.

Y'all do know that Okotberfest starts in Munich tomorrow, right?  The bulk of the festival occurs during September every year.

That said, no, I can't bring myself to go that dark and malty in Texas in August, even though that's when the Oktoberfest/Marzen beers first start showing up.  I typically stick to the pilsners, hefes, witbiers, helles, and other lighter, brighter summer styles, until the thermometer dips below 90...

Yup.  My friend who owns the Live Oak Brewery tells me that he can't sell the Oktoberfest after Halloween.  People just don't buy it.
Which seems silly because its malty style is perfect for Autumn in Texas (which doesn't even really get started until mid-November) but what can you do?
Like I said, right now it's still warm enough down here in Texico to be sticking with the summer styles, but if I did that for as long as it stays hot, I'd completely miss out on the Oktoberfest/Marzen beers, and I love those beers.  So I'll just suffer by drinking delicious Oktoberfest beers while it's still 90+ outside.  Somebody's got to do it... :)

Indeed they did.   USC has had a up and down start, but that's a nice win, even if it was a home match. 

Of a trivial matter.  Long Beach St. is 1-9 and UCSB is 0-9 to start the season.   Man, how two programs (LBSU has 3 NC's, and was the first ever to go undefeated) have turned to total dog crap.   Since Misty May left LBSU it has been a steady decline.  They tried to hire her to coach this season, after their long time HC finally retired.

Watching OSU take on Dayton in the Capital Centre tomorrow is going to be hilarious.

They probably could've found a local HS with a bigger gym.

She's actually the Director of Vball at Long Beach City College right now (coaches indoor and beach), she took that job about a year ish ago.  She's also a Mom w/ young kids, don't know, maybe she wasn't interested in the LBSU gig.

The LBSU 32 year Head coach (Brian Gimillaro) retired in June of this year (2017).  I'm not certain of the details surrounding the coaching search this summer.  I'm sure there's a million page thread on volleytalk though.   They ended up hiring a different LBSU setter alum (pre-May) along with her husband.

beat me to it

I watched on BTN

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - The 14th-ranked Nebraska volleyball team handed No. 2 Penn State its first sweep in Rec Hall in 14 years as the Huskers upset the previously unbeaten Nittany Lions on Friday night, 26-24, 25-19, 25-20, in front of a crowd of 3,763.

The Huskers (8-3, 1-0 Big Ten) won their sixth straight match against Penn State and gave the Nittany Lions (10-1, 0-1 Big Ten) their first 3-0 loss at home since Oct. 18, 2003 against Minnesota.

Indeed, rare love by ESPN.   I think, and I don't have data on this, the ratings for vball have actually been respectable lately, hearsay.  Of course the moment college hoops surfaces, the matches will vanish, or stick to espnu, but there's been more love.  EspnU does a fairly nice job.  Pac12 net still the best covering vball.  BTN has put together a nice schedule this season though.   UCLA about to knock off Oregon.  UCLA playing in their non Pauley Pavilion dinky gym, but it is pretty cool atmosphere.  One of those courts with lines all over it.  Looks like the courts I coach my 3rd graders on.

Uh, no.    Minnesota has a quality 2017 resume thus far, including winning at UT, return a very nice lineup, including an AA setter.    They'll be in the mix again to host a regional this year.

RE: #2 Penn State.  They defeated Stanford twice this year (neutral sites) already,  I'll admit that was a little surprising how Nebraska dispatched with PSU.  Save, Simone Lee, they looked flatfooted and disorganized.   Nebraska likely has a mental edge on Penn State's roster now, as they've had their number like nobody else.  

I would expect another season of musical chairs at the top of the rankings.   Hosting a regional is still the ultimate prize.

That was a nasty match, not pretty vball at all, but a fun match.   UW dominated the first two, and frankly played like a turtle in a shell in that 5th, like they didn't even win the first two sets.     Home crowd gets one for Huskers tonight.  B1G volleyball is tons of fun people.    I don't know how women's basketball gets more love and TV time over vball.  (I know why, but it makes no sense).

MSU comes to Lincoln next week, UW gets Minnesota.

Iowa won 3-1 over Michigan in Iowa City.  Mild upset. As noted way up thread, Iowa has made strides.

Nebraska won 3-1 over Michigan State in Lincoln.   MSU had a feverish comeback in set 3 to extend the match, otherwise the defense of Nebraska was elite throughout.   MSU gets UW coming up in EL I believe on Saturday.

Minnesota won 3-2 at Wisconsin (match was on BTN).  Kind of a sluggish match, long rallies, over passes, errors.  Minnesota had serious stamina.  Wisconsin has now dropped three five set matches this season, two at the FieldHouse, all after leading 2-1.

Their best sport appears to be wrastlin' 
The Lacrosse team started hot. Held the #1 spot in the Nation for a clip. But their season went down the drain once Big Ten play started. Didn't even make the playoffs.

That's pretty sad.

The worst NCAA VB team that I have ever seen at any level has got to be Wilmington.

They joined the OAC in 2001, and have only won one OAC match ever since. And that was clear back in 2008.

The gap between Wilmington and the second worst OAC team in any given year is so vast, that it tends to be a bench-clearing straight sets beat down.

Even when they have a decent player or two on their roster, it's not enough to overcome the sheer ineptitude that permeates every other aspect of their VB program.

They schedule down in the non-conference portion of the schedule with a bunch of two-year JuCos and Regional campuses that aren't even good by 2-year community college standards, and they still drop the lion's share of those games. 

They suck at Football too, so I'm not sure why there were ever even added. It certainly wasn't for their TV market.

Ha, yeah. They are 1-1 against UC Clearmont, which is a 2-year branch campus of Cincinnati; a step below JuCo. 
They beat Central St, which is technically a DII team, but they are an HBCU who is also pretty terrible at VB. 
And they beat Berea, another DIII doormat. They scheduled several of their fellow DIII doormats, but only beat the one. 
They lost to Edison, a 2-year JuCo D2 school. They lost to OU Chillocothe, a 2-year branch campus of Ohio U. They lost to Ohio Christian, who is an awful NAIA team. 
They are just pathetic.

Yeah, the talent gap between D1 and D3 is actually pretty amazing. 
I live around the corner from Otterbein, who has a Wright St transfer that really drives home that point.
After spending her first two years as a bench warmer for Ohio's most inept D1 team, she transferred to her sister's D3 school and is just killing it. If I didn't know better, I'd've thought that they had spent their off season building some sort of Volleyball cyborg with which to take over the OAC.

I'm sure there's a big gap between I and III.  I would posit that there's still a pretty big gap between high I-A and lower I-A.   If you went back twenty years ago, it would be a rare season to not see the entire Top 10 in the AVCA in the Sweet 16 of the Tournament, and likely all 8 of the Elite 8.    It was such a top heavy game, but at least it has smoothed out a bit, where there are absolutely a lot more than 30 competitive programs and the tournament isn't always 'chalk.'

Yeah, it kind of makes me wonder how my HS would fair in the OAC, as they routinely harbor a handful of D1 prospects.

Not always the caliber of Hunter Atherton, of course, but the mid majors are obviously light years ahead of D3 in terms of talent.

The 1A and III gap is large in any sport.  Perhaps the only one that intermingles talent to some extent is baseball.  I played D3 baseball and played in a summer league with D1 players.  I also know a few D3 guys who got drafted.  
I would tell you some of the better D3 teams would take lower D1 teams in a 3 game series from more than you'd think (no, not the SEC schools, but the low major northern ones for sure).

I go to VB games all the time. Never in my life have I seen a VB player take a knee for the National Anthem.

Well that all changed tonight, when the Oberlin Yeo Women came to town. I've never rooted for Denison so hard in my GD life. 

I heckled every mistake that Oberlin made. And I dished out more crotch chops than I can count. 

Big Red wiped the floor with their unpatriotic arse.

The worst NCAA VB team that I have ever seen at any level has got to be Wilmington.

They joined the OAC in 2001, and have only won one OAC match ever since. And that was clear back in 2008.

The gap between Wilmington and the second worst OAC team in any given year is so vast, that it tends to be a bench-clearing straight sets beat down.

.
Ohio U-Chillicothe won the State Title at the Regional Campus level.

They also illustrate the vastness of the divide between Wilmington and the second worst OAC team, which is Capital for the third year in a row.

Chillicothe lost to Capital 3-1.
Chillicothe defeated Wilmington 3-1.
Capital beat Wilmington in straight sets, for their lone OAC victory for the third straight year. 
Capital got spanked by John Carroll, who is the third worst OAC team this year.

I don't know if Slugrs made it over here, yet. 

Wed results:
Penn State continued their ownage of Wisconsin last night, though the Badgers took their first set @RecHall in a decade.
Wisconsin had an obscene number of service errors (which has been a pattern this year for them).
  
Illinois nearly pulled off the upset @ Minnesota last night, bowing in 5 sets.  I think Illinois is back on the upswing with the new coach.

NW swept Rutgers.

This weekend, Nebraska/Iowa take their teams to Michigan/MSU this weekend for back to backs.
Somebody always seems to trip up the Huskers on this weekend trip.  Safe money would be on MSU.   Last two seasons were 16-14 wins for Nebraska in the 5th at EL.

Nebraska 3-1 win @ MSU.  Nebraska showcasing some great serve receive tonight.  If MSU had better passing, they would be top 5 team, they are still a lethal serving team, with a very good block.  They should knock off somebody big in the tournament.  Very dangerous team, they didn't play well tonight.  Nebraska at Mich Sunday.

Mich took out Iowa tonight.
Maryland beat IU in 4 sets, but now has the pleasure of playing Purdue, at MN, at WI, at N, at PSU, so they need to knock somebody off if they want to get to 10 conf wins and a NCAA bid.  They are 4-7.

Purdue swept tOSU.

Nebraska junior outside hitter Mikaela Foecke was named Big Ten Co-Player of the Week on Monday by the conference office. 

Foecke led the Huskers to wins at Michigan State and Michigan over the weekend with 3.86 kills per set on .387 hitting. The West Point, Iowa native had 14 kills, five digs and three blocks in a 3-1 win at No. 10 Michigan State on Friday. She followed that performance with 13 kills and a career-high-tying five blocks to go with nine digs in a sweep at Michigan on Sunday.

Foecke, who earned her first-career Big Ten Player of the Week honor, has led the Huskers in kills each of the past five matches. Over those five matches, she is averaging 4.39 kills per set on .370 hitting. 

She is the fourth Husker to be honored with a Big Ten weekly award this season, joining Annika Albrecht, Briana Holman and Kelly Hunter.

Everyone has 'reveal' fever, and that includes the NCAA which will (tonight) reveal their own Top 10 team listing as of this point in time.   Selection Sunday isn't for another 40 days or so, but there's going to be a release of this list tonight during the Texas v KSU match on ESPNU.    This is year two of the NCAA awarding hosting rights for regionals to the four highest seeded teams remaining.  It used to be a neutral site, but travel budget reasons and much improved ticket sales/attendance has led them to this home regional model, which puts a huge premium on being a host.   Last year 3/4 hosts (N, UT, MN) advanced to the FF (Wis. lost to Stanford in Madison)

By the way, UF at UK (a top 10 match and important for hosting a NCAA regional) is on ESPNU tonight as well.
PSU at Mich St. tonight on BTN (guessing 7 pm est).

The top 4 seeds will 'host' the regionals.   I'm kind of surprised by these, but as with the CFP, tons of matches left here.

Title: Re: 2017 Women's Vball (B1G enough for its own thread)
Post by: MarqHusker on November 01, 2017, 10:56:46 PM
My explanation for that would be,  1. The B1G is the bomb, and they are on top of it for now, having defeated everybody (sweeping at PSU, splitting H&H with UW, handling MN, two over MSU, @ Purdue).  The B1G has an unbalanced schedule, so only ranked opp will be Purdue at home, and then tOSU once the rest of the way, besides helpings of Mland, Rutgers, NW, etc, so the RPI will drop a little.    2. The losses (at Fla, neutral Oregon) were without their starting AA setter.  Of course nearly everybody else has a similar injury story to relate as well.   The WTF loss was in four sets to UNI in Omaha (a definite tourney team).

They have no margin of error IMO to finish in top 4.  I think Penn State can lose one more (at UW) and stay up in top 4.

Stanford lost twice to Penn State (though likely NPOY Plummer was not well/sick in those matches).  They are pretty much dominating a very very deep Pac 12, which doesn't have any other elite teams, as U-Dub has had tons of injuries.  Otherwise,  it's kind of a RPI heavy top 10.  I would expect Fla. to rise into the top 4.

I think MSU is probably the 5th best team in the conference, and can beat the 3rd and 4th best (Minnesota and Wisconsin) when they are on.  But Penn State and Nebraska seem on another level.

Says the fan of a team that lost to Northern Iowa?  And a loss to the same Oregon team that Texas beat?  And also, scoreboard, BEEEEEEYYYYOTCCCHHH!!!!



But yeah, could use a setter for sure.


Still good enough to bounce the Husker last year.  And most likely this year, too.  :)


Oh and lulz, you know that KSU team you're laughing at Texas for barely beating?  Well I just checked the schedules and it turns out they beat that Husker-killing Northern Iowa team. So.... yeah... about that...

Columbus State won the "Region G" bracket, and will advance to their National JuCo Tourney.

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DNznl5ZUMAAH7Li.jpg)


--------------------------------

Otterbein won the OAC tourney in straight sets (three 3-0 victories) and made it to the NCAA DIII tourney.

They have made it exactly 4 times before, all in consecutive years (2010-13), where they went 1-4 in those games.

If they win one this year, they will likely face Ohio Northern for the third time in the next round. They beat ONU in 5 on the road during the Regular Season, the two teams shared the Regular Season OAC Title, and Otterbein beat them in straight sets in the Final game of the OAC Tourney. 

The winner of that game would likely have to face Wittenberg, the best team in the State and one of the top teams in the Nation.

-------------------------


And most importantly, my HS alma matter Dublin Coffman advances to their fourth straight Ohio D1 Final Four.

Their current coach is on an 11 year run that has seen 11 straight Conference Titles, 11 straight Sweet 16s, 6 total Final Fours, and 4 State Championship Game appearances.

ZERO State Titles to show for it, though. Maybe this year?

If they win one this year, they will likely face Ohio Northern for the third time in the next round. They beat ONU in 5 on the road during the Regular Season, the two teams shared the Regular Season OAC Title, and Otterbein beat them in straight sets in the Final game of the OAC Tourney.

The winner of that game would likely have to face Wittenberg, the best team in the State and one of the top teams in the Nation.



-------------------------

It turns out that Otterbein is the host site for that entire portion of the bracket.
So evidently their OAC Titles combo was deemed more impressive than Wittenberg's North Coast Titles combo.
Far out.

Nebraska volleyball has its highest ranking in four weeks, moving up one spot to No. 6 in the AVCA Top 25 on Monday.

The Huskers have won seven straight matches since an Oct. 11 loss at Wisconsin bumped them from No. 4 to No. 7. They will take records of 20-4 overall and 13-1 in the Big Ten into a Wednesday night home match with Maryland.

Nebraska remains the only team to beat No. 1 Penn State (23-1), which received 56 of a possible 64 first-place votes in Monday's poll. The Huskers and Nittany Lions share the Big Ten lead, with Minnesota a game behind.

Also from the Big Ten, Minnesota is ranked No. 5, Michigan State is at No. 8 and Wisconsin is No. 10. Creighton remained No. 14 this week.

Excellent. I'll watch, as it should be a big enough blow out for them to safely roll her out there for a rotation or two. 
She's lucky she didn't get burned at the stake, after blowing those first two games while the other Hunter was out.

I have caught wind from a tiny contingent of 'self proclaimed' experts that they aren't sold on Atherton as a S at Nebraska.   I think it is nonsense.  Let the young woman get her feet wet before next season.   I'm glad she got a few cracks at the beginning of the season like that, and she does come in here and there, often to serve and play the back row.    Every new setter will struggle when your first match is against a top 5 team on the road, and a second match against a top 10 team.

Through today's match.   Nebraska swept Rutgers, 25-8, 11, 13.   I heard that tied the fewest points scored in a DI volleyball match during the rally scoring era (32 points).

Penn State15-1
Nebraska15-1
Minnesota13-3
Michigan State12-4
Purdue10-6
Illinois9-7
Wisconsin8-8
Michigan8-8
Ohio State7-9
Iowa6-10
Maryland5-11
Northwestern4-12
Indiana1-15
Rutgers0-16
Final two weeks of the season.  Four matches to go.  Of note, the top 4 clubs remaining matches.
There is no 'tiebreaker' in VB, so even though N won at Penn State, a shared 19-1 record, would mean a shared title.
Penn State: (home) IU, @ Rutgers, @ UW, @ Minnesota
Nebraska: @ Ohio St, @ Maryland, @ NW, (home) Iowa
Minnesota: @ NW, @ Illinois, (home) Rutgers, Penn St
Michigan State: @ Mich, (home) IU, @ Purdue, @ IU
I think 8 NCAA bids is a lock, 9 is likely, 10 is now a stretch.  (Mich, tOSU, Iowa and Maryland (nice RPI),  are the ones bubble watching.

I seem to recall a Big Ten Tourney as well, but in googling around and perusing the record book, I can't seem to find any evidence to support that recollection. 

It looks like it was initially a single round robin. Then a double round robin (H & A) that went from full to partial as the Conference expanded.

Now that they are up to 14 teams, might as well go back to a single round robin, with a Conference Tourney. 
Maybe play a second game against a fixed rival or three for 14 or 16 total Conference games before the Tourney.

If they had one, it hasn't been for a very long time.   Some smaller ones have them, others do not.   It seems to be a pure function of the scheduling, and # of teams/matches.    The sport is very cost conscious, so that's the chief reason it was always voted down in a lot of leagues.   Plus, who is hosting it, who gets those rights, how many teams.   Do they reduce the conf schedule?  
The 20 match schedule of course is still unbalanced, many of the same challenges as the hoops league.

Yeah, I could have sworn they had one until like 5-6 years ago, but I looked back, and at least going back to 2001-02 they didn't.

Of the D1 Conferences that have Ohio teams, the American and Big Ten don't currently have a Tourney, while the Big East, Mac, Horizon and A10 all do. (Dayton is the 2 seed in the A10, btw)

The D2 and D3 Conferences that have Ohio teams all have Conference Tourneys.
D2: G-Mac, Gliac, Mountain East, and Siac (hbcu)
D3: OAC, North Coast, Heartland, UAA, and Allegheny Mtn

The D2 regular season ended last weekend, the Conference Tourneys take place this weekend, while D3 is already down to the Elite 8 in Grand Rapids MI.

-Findlay and Lake Erie were the regular season champs of each of their respective GMac Divisions.

-Wittenberg made it out of the Otterbein regional, as expected, and will be Ohio's lone representation in the NCAA D3 Elite 8, in Grand Rapids MI.

-Lourdes and Owens made the National Bracket in NAIA and NJCAA D2 respectively.

I tried to flip through the Minnnesota/UW media guide, it seems like even longer, as in early 80s.

The Big 8 used to have one, (4 team tournament, oSu doesn't have vball), and it moved around to a wide variety of cities (Salinas, KS???)  until the last six years and stayed in Omaha.

Yeah, Varsity Big Ten VB officially became a thing in 1981.

Probably existed solely as a club sport before that.
The tradition that Cook continues to build began in 1978,
when Kanouse and Shandi Pettine were the first Nebraska
volleyball players to be recruited with full scholarships. By 1981,
Pettit could award 12 scholarships.
“We had a full complement,” he said. “And that put us ahead
of some schools.”
Those first Nebraska teams included primarily in-state
athletes. But Kanouse was from Indiana and Pettine was from
Colorado, evidence not only of Pettit’s interest in expanding the
Huskers’ recruiting base, but also of the respect his program was
earning beyond the state’s borders.

Head Coach: Pat Sullivan (1975-1976)
1975
Record: 34-8
AIAW Regional Finalist

1976
Record: 49-13
Big Eight Regular-Season & Tournament Champions
AIAW National Participant

I kind of want to go to the OSU-Nebraska game, but there's not really a good way to go about doing it. 

For one thing, the game starts at 6, while I don't get out of work until 5:30. 

Under normal circumstances I could still make it down there, but there's a FB game the next day. So traffic and parking will be a nightmare. In fact they are recommending that fans park at the Schott and then hoof it over the bridge to St John. 

As if that wasn't bad enough, Nebraska fans typically travel well, which results in a really long line at the ticket office that goes out the front door and wraps halfway around the building. 

Not to mention that the game will be an absolute bloodbath.

Heh, I can't wait until the new VB arena is constructed, as it will be quite a ways away from the FB stadium. 

I've missed many a game over the whole FB parking situation. 

A few years back I tried to go to a NCAA Tourney VB game after the FB season had already ended, and they were holding the bloody HS State Championship FB games at the Shoe. **insert head slamming into brick wall emoticon**

You used to have to stand in a long line of OSU students at a food truck to get one of those.

It's delicious, but surprisingly light on the gut. As soon as you finish one of those bad boys, you are ready to scarf down another.

OSU got curb stomped by Iowa at home tonight. 

Ohio went 0-2 in NCs today, with Witt and Owens both losing at their respective levels. 

On the bright side Dayton, Cleveland St and Miami(OH) will all play in their respective CCGs tomorrow. But they'll probably go 0-3.

Yeah, tOSU in trouble to make the tournament now.   Michigan took out Purdue tonight, they look good for a bid now.
Penn State drubbed Rutgers, 25-5, 9 and 9, that's about the equivalent to 77-0 in football.
Meanwhile Illinois bounced back (from a loss to UW last night) to beat the Gophers.

B1G title will come down to next weekend.  Both clubs 17-1.
N at NW, host Iowa
Penn St. at UW, at Minn

I'm actually going to the Mich St at Purdue match next Friday night with a few kids from the team I coached this fall.  
Amongst the parents going, are a Purdue, MSU, Nebraska, IU, Mich and NW alum.  It's a Vball board meeting if you will.

Nebraska stayed No. 5 in the AVCA Top 25 on Monday — and No. 1 Penn State received all 64 first-place votes in the volleyball poll for the second straight week.

The Huskers (24-4) and Nittany Lions (27-1) continue to share the Big Ten volleyball lead at 17-1, with two matches remaining. Nebraska handed PSU its only loss on Sept. 22.

Nothing changed in front of the Huskers with Penn State again followed by Texas, Florida and Stanford. NU finishes its regular season with matches Wednesday night at Northwestern and Saturday night at home against Iowa.

Creighton slipped from No. 13 to No. 17 despite clinching its fourth straight Big East championship. The Bluejays start the Big East tournament Friday in Milwaukee.

Selection Sunday is nearing.  

PSU wins at Madison in 4 sets.   PSU at Minn Saturday night with B1G title at stake.   N hosts Iowa, each has 1 loss.

I assume Minnesota swept Rutgers tonight.

Mini-Observations from West Lafayette, IN (Michigan St. at Purdue).  Holloway Gymnasium.
Purdue won 3-1, dropping the first set 25-20.   Great crowd at Holloway Gym,  99% good to great seats.  It is in a multi purpose 'rec center' type facility immediately north of Mackey, and across the street to the east from Ross-Ade Stadium.  It holds about 2,000 or so.   They (the program) could certainly support a nice 5,000 seat place.   I know they play one match per year at Mackey.  Good idea to play here.   It was close to packed, which is impressive over break.   Purdue is known to have the best student section/pep band for volleyball, and it didn't disappoint.   My 8yr old kept trying to understand their taunts and cheers.   Good stuff.  Very loud.  Sparty fans represented as well.   By the way, did I tell you they sell beer at Holloway Gymnasium for B1G volleyball?    I didn't buy any, since I'm driving about an hour home.

Lot on the line in this match.   Michigan St. trying to hang on to a top 16 seed in order to host the 1st/2nd round.  Purdue trying to make a case for one of those seeds.  Senior night.    Watching MSU serve (at least a few of the players) is a fun sight.  All kinds of hard jump serves, and low knuckles.  Purdue passing and versatility just too much tonight for the Spartans.     @Purdue has to be one of 3 or 4 toughest road matches in the league, that place must be 1000 degrees in Sept/Oct.

Speaking of Dayton, is the A-10 projected to be a two-bid league this year? 

VCU won the regular season and the Tourney. 

Dayton was the clear cut number two team, winning every Conference game in the regular season and Tourney that wasn't against VCU.

Final B1G Standings.   Co Champs. Nebraska wins back to back conference titles (3rd since joining B1G, two outright), Penn State's 17th Conference title since joining the B1G, and first since 2013.

I'm pretty sure about this, but you need a .500 or better record to qualify for the NCAAs (unless you win a conference tournament), which means tOSU is out.   Maryland and Iowa on the bubble for sure. I'll bet Iowa is out.  tOSU lost a tough match in 5 to Illinois tonight, final point lost on a challenge.

Re: A10,  I'm gonna bet it is a one bid league (VCU).  Dayton's RPI is in the 50s, and they have one win vs a top 40 RPI (High Point at 40).   I'd also bet both Miami (OH) and Cleveland State end up playing in E. Lansing.

Pac12 will also get 9 bids I'm guessing.
Big East: Creighton came back to beat Marquette for the conference title, both will get in.

Top 4 will have chance to host regionals:  Locks: Penn State, Florida.  (candidates for regionals: Stanford/ Nebraska/Texas).

Brackets come out 9pm eastern Sunday on espnU, I'm guessing some PK 7th place hoops game bumps it to espn news.

LINCOLN, Neb. - The Nebraska volleyball team won its second straight Big Ten championship with a 3-0 (25-12, 25-15, 25-23) sweep of Iowa on Saturday night in front of a crowd of 8,276 on Senior Night, the 234th consecutive regular-season sellout in Nebraska volleyball history. 


The Huskers (26-4, 19-1 Big Ten) won their 34th all-time conference title and third since joining the Big Ten with their 13th straight win of the season. Penn State earned a share of the title with the Huskers after beating Minnesota on Saturday night to also finish 19-1 in the Big Ten. But because of Huskers' win over Penn State in the lone meeting between the teams this season, Nebraska earned the Big Ten's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament and will make their 36th straight NCAA Tournament appearance next weekend. 


Nebraska finished the conference schedule with its most-ever wins in Big Ten play (19). The Huskers dropped just 11 sets in Big Ten play this season, their fewest conference sets lost in a season since losing seven in 2010 in their final year in the Big 12. 

 The NCAA Tournament Selection Show will take place on Sunday at 8 p.m. and will be televised on ESPNU. Should the Huskers be selected as one of the top-four overall seeds, they would host the first and seconds rounds next weekend and would also have a chance to host an NCAA regional the following weekend should they advance.

OSU has had an unusual amount of attrition lately. 

Two of last year's freshmen didn't return for their sophomore campaign, one of last year's juniors transferred to NC State, and I noticed yesterday that a freshmen and a sophomore from this year's team were not present at the game. Upon further investigation, both of their names have been deleted from the roster. 

Toss in the fact that the entire Junior class suffered season ending injuries, that may be career ending for all I know. 

I'm not too sure where this program is headed.

All matches Friday/Saturday, times EST based on NCAA posted times (unless noted wrt the two outlier regions). Top 4 seeds own right to host the regionals if they advance. If one of them loses this weekend, next highest seed in bracket will host, that rarely happens in VB. FF is in Kansas City this year.  No cable coverage opening weekend, though streaming options should abound.

A few random thoughts:  Maryland and North Texas were the two biggest snubs. High Point, Charleston,  LSU and NC State had to be last in. PSU and UF were locks for top seeds, Stanford was next closest.  UK was #1RPI, but similar to the CFPs ongoing rankings,  they pulled a pretty big switch at the end.  Nebraska went from #2 in their latest reveal, to #5, and the only thing that changed was Nebraska's RPI probably dipped due to ending with B1G lower tier teams.  UK actually lost a match in that time (swept by UF).  I assume Texas was punished for a softer schedule.   As Fearless noted, shouldn't lose to Northern Iowa, even if it was September.  Hilarious that Stanford may draw Michigan in 2nd round. Michigan has been Stanford's nemesis, beating them twice in the tournament in recent memory.  I can't believe both Mich St and Purdue fell out of top 16. Perhaps the rosy B1G goggles.
If I had to pick an 'unseeded' teams to win each region:  Michigan St, Oregon, Michigan, Cal Poly.

The Findlay Oilers avenge their loss to the Hillsdale Chargers in the GMac CCG by knocking them out of the NCAA Tournament in the first round. (D2)

So that's another victory for an Ohio school, against a team from the State Up North. 

They went 2-2 against each other this year, and have played each other thrice in their last five games.

Damn TV networks putting on the sports that get better ratings.
In seriousness, I'm surprised volleyball and soccer don't get better coverage.  MSU is in the Elite 8 tonight in soccer, and not on tv, nothing before the Final 4.  I get they aren't going to go all out for either, but if every single baseball game is on, you'd think more volleyball/soccer would be.  Both are at least on an equal level with softball, which at least has better coverage than this.  I think I'd rather watch all of the variations of Real Housewives before I watched one inning of softball.

I've never taken the time to dig into it, but I've noticed that MSU women's basketball coverage on BTN always seems to line up with men's.  That I wonder if they schedule their men's games, and then if that school has a women's game the day before or the day after, BTN picks it up.  That it's out of convenience more than anything.
I think if you buy BTN+ you get pretty much every game produced by the host school.  I don't get why BTN doesn't at least simulcast more of those?  Maybe to force more people to subscribe?  Maybe the low production value would damage the brand?  I don't know, but I do wish they'd up their coverage of olympic sports and classic games.  I actually think the coverage of both was far better when the network first launched in 2007.

To their credit they have indeed made (nearly all) vball matches available on BTN+ and their streaming is fair to above average, even though I'm not all that excited about watching streaming video on a device.   This is where I would love Nebraska public television.   They have such great production for volleyball matches.

To their credit they have indeed made (nearly all) vball matches available on BTN+ and their streaming is fair to above average, even though I'm not all that excited about watching streaming video on a device.   This is where I would love Nebraska public television.   They have such great production for volleyball matches.


I get to see all of the UT volleyball games, and well produced, too.  You should get your own school network, I highly recommend it! :)

Round two results and moving on to the Sweet Sixteen.  6 B1G teams to the SW16. Pac with 5. SEC 3.


Michigan State wins in Omaha vs #9 Creighton in four sets.  Pretty convincing win.
They will play Illinois which upset #8 U-Dub in five sets in Seatlle 
#1 Penn State dropped another set, but beats Pitt in 4
Missouri upsets #16 Wichita State in 4 sets.

#3 Stanford cruises to Sweet 16, and will play equally rested Wisconsin, which swept #14 Iowa St.
#11 Utah will face #6 Texas  (Utah took out Purdue Friday,  UT beat NCSt)

#5 Nebraska swept Wazzu in 3, and will face Colorado, which blasted #12 Baylor
#13 BYU handled Oregon in 3, and will face #4Kentucky which survived a 2-0 deficit to win in 5 sets vs instate foe Western Kentucky.    They were awfully close to gagging the host regional to Nebraska.

#2 Florida handled the Canes in 4, and will host #15 UCLA, which beat my dark horse Cal Poly in 4 sets.
#10 USC rallied to beat San Diego in 5 sets, and will face #7 Minnesota which ground out No Iowa in 4 sets.

Win, and they will be on TV Saturday.   I notice they are televising only the top 4 seeds on Friday.   Men's Soccer FF is wedged in between the Vball matches.  Same as last year, as some match went into OT and the 10,000 angry viewers missed the first set and a half of Vball of the night cap.

The streaming works, but its still streaming of course.    This is an improvement though,  last year was the first year they bothered showing any regional semis on ESPNU.  They might randomly have one match in year's past.   BTN shows hockey doubleheader at 6:30pm Friday,  not sure if they have any rights to show these rounds, since ESPNU is handling 8/12 matches this weekend.   I know the Pac12 Network says they won't have them, thus no Nebraska v Colorado TV.

Agree.   The errors really killed BYU.   BYU got lucky, I think, at the end of the 3rd, with the girls hand hitting the net, apparently the ball must have been down (out) which ends the play before the net touch.  They didn't have audio on at the bar I was watching.  

Really nice opening match for the day, spilled well into PSU/Mizzou, which of course will be over in about 80 minutes.   PSU hitting way over .400 so far.

Penn State cruised to a sweep.   Nebraska pretty sharp in set 1 (I'm not watching, back at work).   Checking the box,  man does Colorado rely on Alexa Smith.  17 attacks in the first set.  That's a huge number.   I guess I'm not used to Nebraska having a dominant 'go to' OH like that.  I know BYU set Jones-Perry a million times (probably 60, but that's 5 sets).

Colorado made that 2nd set (25-11) easy for Nebraska.  8 errors.   Alexa had 12 attacks that set.  Getting dug (no surprise).  My friend said the gym is a ghost town now, I guess UK fan was exhausted which I don't blame them.  Hard to sit through 4+ hours, after a draining 5 set match.

MSU grinds out set 1.  25-23 Didn't start well, Holly Tollivar got them going midway, as their primary weapons were not sharp against Ill block.  As usual, some great serves by MSU.  Bailey did heat up there at the end for the Spartans. I need to stream this one.

Huskers get the sweep over CU.

Psu is gonna serve all match at the msu fr.libero.  if she can receive ok, Michigan St. Can make this a match.  Gotta slow down Haleigh and serve aggressively which they know how to do.  

I just watched that 4th set of Ill v MSU, I thought they botched a close deflection call that cost Msu match point at 27.  Autumn Bailey then dominated w a kill and wicked ace to win it.  Bailey, a Marquette transfer btw.

Final Four (Thursday: 7pm est on ESPN)  Finals are Saturday on espn2.

#5 Nebraska vs #1 Penn State, 7pm EST
#3 Stanford  vs #2 Florida,  30 minutes after first match.

Titles
Penn State and Stanford each have 7
Nebraska 4
Florida 0

FF Appearances
Stanford 21st
Nebraska 14th
Penn State 13th
Florida 7th.

All Time Series
Nebraska 20-10 versus Penn State, including winning last six in a row, including a sweep at PSU this Sept.
Nebraska 8-3 versus Florida,  Florida beat Nebraska in Gainesville this August
Stanford 6-4 versus Florida,  last meeting 2014 NCAA.
Stanford 8-6 versus Nebraska, last meeting 2014.
Penn State 12-9 versus Stanford, PSU beat Stanford twice this season on neutral courts.
Penn State 8-3 versus Florida, last meeting 2013
I think each of these matchups has occurred at least once at the FF, except for N v UF.

Florida's Mary Wise (coach since '91) is easily the best coach not to win a title in Vball history.
I've watched all these teams at least 5 teams each this season, I honestly don't know how Nebraska can win two matches.  I know they are really balanced, have a great setter, have great passing, play very well together (save some weird moments tonight vs UK).   As good as M. Foecke is, she's not in the league of 'terminator' as Plummer (Stanford), Lee (PSU), or Alhassen (UF).    Stanford is probably as balanced, has a world class libero, better block and either the POY, or co-POY (Lee being the other).     I'll be pulling for UF, if Nebraska can't get it done.

PSU has to be due to beat Nebraska, right?  Nebraska seems to be in their head a bit, especially after blowing a 2-0 lead at N in the sweet sixteen last year.  This won't be in Lincoln, but KC.

Spartans took two of the sets to deuce, and Toliver's world class serve gave them a set point in the third.  They had a 19-17 lead in the first set as well, but of course PSU has Haleigh Washington, and she blocked everything at that point.

So Stanford is the favorite to win it this year and four of their five AAs (including all 3 first teamers) are sophomores?

Yup.   That's why last year's national title was so surprising.  It was Inky (elite MB now on National Team) and a bunch of freshman.    New coach this year was really the only wildcard.

No offense to the honorable mention AAs, but the AVCA names about 50 of them.  It's a huge club. 

It sort of reminds me of how the NCAA names 'All-Americans' in Track and Field.  It may have changed since the 90s, but when I was in school, I dated a high jumper, who ended up being an All-American.  It turns out the top 8 'American' results/heights/times/etc. in each event are designated 'T&F All American status' for the season.  So in theory if 15 runners from Kenya finish in the top 15 in the 10,000m,   and 16-23 are Americans,  those first 8 Americans are also AAs in the 10,000m.  I think the girl I dated was actually 11th or something, thanks to the Canadian, or T&T jumpers from some other school.

What I can't tell is was Stanford just off or flat tonight, or was Florida that good.   When you compare tonight to how Stanford played Texas and how Florida played USC...  those were not the same teams.  Stanford didn't look near as good and Florida looked significantly more consistent.  

Maybe this is Florida's magical year and one for the history books..

Post by: MarqHusker on December 15, 2017, 01:31:14 AM
Yeah,  Florida's 3 elite players were on tonight, and they served very well.   Stanford never really looked comfortable except in set 4.   They lost tonight, but Hentz, the libero for Stanford is really insanely good.  She could play for Team USA tomorrow, no disrespect to former Husker JWO the current libero.   Florida, like Nebraska enters the final fighting off a match point in the tourney, that's rare to see in a final.    UF block was exceptional tonight, as usual.    Nebraska dropped a 5 set match at Florida to start the season w/o their setter Hunter,  I like Nebraska's chances, but Florida really looks focused.    They, like PSU, have much better athletes all over the court than Nebraska.  Should be a good final.

I probably won't see the match until Sunday morning, I have plans Sat. night, and the match starts at 9pm est  I've warned the three people who text me about vball not to talk about the match.

Florida has that "team of destiny" going... emotional leadership, senior leadership, coach who has a great career w/o winning it all...   just have that sense this is there year.   They really should have lost to USC (who choked imo), yet they pulled it out.   It appears that created a lot of confidence.

Set 2 and 4 might be the best I've seen UNL play all year.   Florida has athletes and size.  They were a tough matchup.  UNL was just on fire and extremely focused.  

Cook is incredible.   With all the turnover on the staff and graduating that many seniors... to win it all.  Outstanding job.   Of all the coaches at UNL, he's the one who deserves the raise.    I'd say it's official.  UNL is a volleyball school.

Very impressive.   Of the 5 titles they have won this is the one I never saw coming.  I'm positive Cook would admit this team has the least elite talent of any final four level team.   Not winning in 94, 05 or last year were big disappointments as those three teams frankly were all superior to this roster talent wise but they didn't get it done.  The balance and defense were off the charts.  That Florida team was stacked.

Perhaps that's the new efficiency in volleyball.

She graduated early, enrolled in the spring and redshirted for the Beach VB team. Redshirted as a freshmen, then played for the Beach VB team. Rode the bench this year as a serve specialist, got a ring, and will play a second/third year of beach VB before her redshirt Sophomore campaign. 

All to get beat out by a true freshman.

Wow, you guys are really into volleyball.

Quick story - in one of my early years on the Navajo Rez as a teacher, we had a staff volleyball game.  It was in the gym, and everyone's warming up and stuff, and I take my shoes and socks off and play barefoot.  

Everyone looked at me weird, and I realized growing up in FL that I had almost exclusively played beach volleyball my whole life - thus the no shoes thing.  I just shrugged and played barefoot the whole game without incident.  

Funny what we're used to, without considering it.  Another example of this was when a group of us went out to dinner, and this guy from Indiana and I both had crab legs.  Maybe 10 minutes into getting our plates, I had eaten all my crab and the remains were in a neat stack on my plate as he was struggling with his 2nd leg.  I hadn't seen his struggling, but he looked at me like I was a magician, lol.  I helped him out the rest of the way, getting the big, full morsels out.

In a (relative) shocker,  Maryland Head Coach Steve Aird is bolting College Park, MD for Bloomington, IN.   IU has been in the B1G basement, mostly, and recently let their coach go.   Aird, a PSU alum, as a player, then assistant at PSU, really started making big strides for Maryland (they just missed the tournament this year, his third).   Don't see this happen too often.  

No doubt, Indiana and the surrounding 5 hours is a much better recruiting pool than DC area, but this is quite surprising.  IU invested heavily in a much better Vball facility, they probably had one of the worst in P5.   I heard Aird was in Canada (with family where he's from) and wasn't 'able' to reach all of his players to notify them before announcing the move to IU.

Where on the rez were you? I lived and taught in Gallup, NM for a couple years. My oldest son was born there. I spent a lot of weekends out in some gym or community center on the rez playing basketball. I about broke my ankle in the Window Rock Civic Center in one of those tournaments.

Hey Brutus, in case you haven't heard, your girlfriend (Atherton) announced she is transferring.   This is not a surprise it would seem, with Nicklin Hames coming in (highly touted).  Not clear where she's going.  This is from a release.

I really love our team, and they are an amazing group of individuals. I will miss them more than anything,” Atherton said in a news release. “I have made some of my best friends at Nebraska and I will forever be grateful for that. I also want to thank our fans for their support. Being able to experience this has been life changing, and I want to thank all the fans for everything they do for the program.

I don't know.   Vball transfers (like any other sport) are not unusual.   She clearly didn't vanish, as she was brought in to serve throughout the season and in the FF.   Hard to know if she doesn't think she will have a shot at setter, doesn't want to wait around to find out, but may very well have more certain opportunities elsewhere.    She had to have been bruised by some of the scrutiny (yes, there's scrutiny of volleyball by fans/media in Nebraska) of her performance as setter earlier this year, when she filled in for K. Hunter.    I'm pretty confident she'll be setting somewhere in the future, no?

Nebraska has zero setters now, until the Freshman arrives.  I'm guessing they may be looking for a transfer setter, as I doubt they are going to transition one of their DS'.

Nebraska volleyball head coach John Cook announced on Tuesday that 6-2 outside hitter Lexi Sun, a unanimous first-team All-Big 12 selection as a freshman at Texas in 2017, will transfer to the Husker program. Sun, who will be a sophomore next season, will be eligible to compete immediately.

A native of Encinitas, California, Sun was the top-ranked recruit in the nation by PrepVolleyball.com coming out of high school. After announcing her intention to transfer from Texas, Sun visited Nebraska, Wisconsin and USC before signing with the Huskers. She will join the program in May or June for the start of summer classes and conditioning.

Lexi was likely over coveted by those that pay way too much attention to recruiting, I long ago stopped following any fball/bball/vball recruiting that closely .  I'll take cliffs notes. I'm kind of creeped out by it all now.  

I think UT fans thought she was Logan Tom or something.  Probably read her own press clippings too.  I hope Cook and staff do a great job working with her.  Cook certainly has a great development track record .  Heck, Foecke showed up as a Middle, now she s one helluva 6 rotation player.

Nebraska volleyball coach John Cook and the defending national champions got great news on Tuesday as Texas volleyball transfer Lexi Sun announced her intentions to transfer to Nebraska. 

Sun, who was the No. 1 recruit in her class, will be eligible immediately. According to Cook, head football coach Scott Frost played a role in helping to land Sun. 

Cook explained in a statement. 

“I’ve always had this funny feeling that at some point we might have another chance to recruit her to Nebraska, and when she came on a visit three weeks ago it was unbelievable. She got to meet Dr. Kathy Farrell, the dean of the business college, because Lexi wants to major in business. Then she met with our performance team and they did a great job. 

“Then Scott Frost and Matt Davison showed up while we were at dinner with Lexi and her family and some of the Huskers, which was really cool. It fired up Lexi’s family and all the Huskers. Scott’s pumped she’s coming here. We’re all pumped she’s coming here.”

Cook has had talented teams in the past that fell apart due to internal chemistry issues....  and by falling apart, that means sweet 16 type seasons for final 4 talent.   The last few transfers really have worked for the coach so I'm hoping this was a situation where the player was not a good fit for Texas

Nice. The transfer taints her career just enough to allow Buckeye legend Nikki Cisco (11) to maintain the distinction of having the best College VB career of any player from my hometown.
The Cisco Kid was in my class, thus suited up for my school's VB team from seventh grade until my Senior year of College.
