I can't seem to find anywhere a time and location for the next round vs Texas? I assume we're heading to Austin but haven't seen that confirmed. TV coverage?
Which is lame because it’ll be the 80% Badger fans. Should’ve let UW do it in the Kohl Hole first before we give up an actual home court advantage to make it a road game.
I don't see anything about time or TV coverage yet - just that it's Thu Dec 8th at Texas. I'm guessing Marquette -Texas will be the second match of the night (Ohio State-Minnesota is the other match in Austin) since it features the host school. I did hear them talking about Texas-Ohio State briefly during the 5th quarter TV coverage last night and was thinking each team does actually have another match before that could happen. But then one commentator did give a nice plug to Marquette and Anchante in particular.
Crap, I’m in Austin this week but fly out Thursday night. Wonder if I can change it?
Would be sweet. The gym they play in looks awesome and is always packed. Plus the MN vs. Ohio State match before it should be awesome. MU match should start early afternoon.
If that’s true, might be able to make it! Flight is at 5:30 and traffic is almost never bad in Austin. okay, maybe one set.
The bracket shows 1:30 PM start time. I believe it starts 30 minutes after the OSU/MN March (starts at 11:00). That one could very easily go 5, which would push the 1:30 time back. But if it’s a sweep it could start around 1:00. If you have nothing going on, it’d be worth going to that first match and then just staying as long as you can. Should be some great volleyball. But guessing it’s sold out. Could contact the MU ticket office as they should have an allotment.
Thanks! Appreciate it. Will reach out to MU.Haven’t been to a sold out women’s volleyball game since my days in Hawaii and the wahine warriors. Would be cool.
Hawaii matches (both men’s and women’s) look awesome. Would love to get to a match there.Come to think of it, it during classes so the atmosphere might not be as rowdy as it’d be for a normal Texas home match. And the MN/OSU match probably won’t fill up much until the end when Texas fans start showing up for the Texas/MU match.
I have a feeling we might be waiting a while to see the MU match. This OSU vs. MN match is going to be a tight one.McKenna Wucherer is a freshman OH on MN who went to Brookfield Central. From what I've heard she chose MN because of Hugh, who is retiring after this season. Would really suck to see her go to Wisconsin, especially since Wisconsin would keep her as a 3 rotation outside and she's way too good to be that. That would stunt her development for future national team consideration.
I mean, Marquette has a pin opening…Reistma/Foti is the weak link of the lineup right now.I imagine there will be a lot of pins who will want to play with Anchante, but would be nice to pick her up if she enters the portal.
Yeah I think she'd probably look more at a Nebraska/Wisconsin/Texas program. And she probably should. Playing the likes of Xavier, Butler, St. John's, Seton Hall, etc. every week won't help her development much. But hey, if she wants a homecoming I wouldn't be opposed!
