I admit, I do not know much about Volleyball, but I do watch the team and go to a handful of games.  Why is Murray not playing more, is she coming off an injury?

Also, Natalie Ring played some last year and I think was a decently regarding HS player and I think Morgan Daughtry was a decent HS recruit as well, why don’t they play at all? 

Just curious if someone more knowledge than me knows more about what is going on with the team.

Another brutal game to be at. I understand the height of Oregon was a factor. Yet, MU looks slow. Passing is poor. On to Villanova on Friday.

Watched a bit of the UW v FL game, UW stormed back down 0-2 to win. MU isn’t great, but man the result v UW could have easily been 3-0. Perhaps a combination of not being particularly sharp and a mental let down hurt. Gotta keep fighting!

Florida’s All American setter (probably) tore her ACL towards the end of set 2, and they were missing one of their outsides.

Florida’s best pin hitter is a freshman who played two years of high school in the Green Bay Area, as her dad was an assistant coach with the Packers. Former Packer great Ruvell Martin.

Ahh, I thought I had heard something about an injury, didn’t realize it was about the time the match swung. I tuned in late in the third. I’m a big Orzol fan.

Orzol would make an awesome Big East outside.  Too small to consistently terminate in the Big Ten, but quick and athletic with a solid arm.  She'd be better off at Marquette, while Anchante would take Wisconsin from a Final Four candidate to the clear favorite to win the NCAA championship.

Ahhh, nothing like Big East play to right the ship.

Think it’s pretty telling though that while everyone is hitting .350+ over the first two matches, Reitsma is still in the .100s against bad teams

She is just not a capable attacker at this level. Give her the Libero jersey and let Holmstrom get some run at OH2 with Kushner taking her back row.

Think that would help with the serve receive issues as well.

Big fan of Reitsma, I think I like your observations.

The Dayton win is starting to look really good. Could it be enough to get us in at large if we don't slip to any team? (sans Creighton)
