Hop into the time machine and do a bunch of things:
1) Keep Kat Reilly from injuring her knee. Her absence absolutely screwed up Cal's lineup. Natalie Smart has played admirably. Morgan Beck should be playing an outside (right or left) full time instead of this hybrid middle/right she's playing now.
2) Prevent the broken fingers to Mindi Wiley and Cat Dailey. It would have been great to have them practicing and available early.
3) Find some way to keep Charlie Wade away from Masha Vaysburg during that club tournament.

For Baylor- more consistency! If they can play like they did in game 1 against Nebraska and Texas (and others) they could go a long way!

TEXAS -
#1 -Improve the block timing, just can't seem to be in the right place at the right time.
#2 - How about a little enthusiasm? It's not just a job, it's an adventure!
#3 - More consistency....too many matches where it looks like 2 diffferent teams

USC people say their setter should “lower” the height of the sets, then a NU fan says they set Pavan too low…..and most likely they both are correct: I’ve seen quite some hitters who have been struggling with low sets just because they are better “high ball” hitters and also about the same number of players who like quick ones but keep getting their sets almost up to the ceiling. I understand any coach has preferences about the height and the speed of the sets. However having in mind NCAA coaches practically do not have time to re-teach skills I do not understand why many of them refuse to let their hitters hit the sets that they like the most (i.e the ones they are best at). I know people can argue until Christmas regarding “high vs low(slow vs fast)” but IMO any hitter has her best chance to score when the ball is set where she feels most comfortable at. This problem definitely goes to the coaches because they are the ones who have to find the correct type of players for their system and if they can’t they should utilize what is available. At the moment very often it looks like somebody who uses a semi-trailer to go to work and wants to move his stuff to a different place by a Corvette. In this order of thoughts: if somebody suggests coach(es) change would it be considered as a team adjustment ;D

I think the Minnesota hitters would be happy with a set that is as high as the top of the net.
