Tickets are $5 from 3-5pm today for anyone who's been waffling. Yes, I am not not not working for promotions. TicketsBig match for the Gophers, in my opinion. This is one of the matches they need to have in order to contend for 3rd or 4th. They also need a split out of the Illinois-Northwestern pair. Bonus? Two wins there, a split with Wisconsin, and a win over Nebraska. But I think 6-4 at the halfway, probably 5-5, is realistic. IF they beat Ohio State. Game day page |

Gophers should win in 4 sets. Sandbothe can't do everything for tOSU, and Wilhite should cancel her performance out anyways. I'm not convinced the Buckeyes can maneuver around or hit through Minnesota's block.

Hannah had two good matches at tOSU last year including 7 kills on .400 hitting and 6 blocks in their last meeting.

While tOSU has rights to the use of "the," there are other perfectly good articles that are available. For example a Minnesota [aMN] is nice. Sounds like amen when you pronounce the abbreviation out loud.

Ohio state has been decimated with unfortunate injuries and sicknesses since week one of the b10 season last year when they last 2 middles for the year. Sandbothe has been hit with a serious illness and didn't play at all last week. Kacsits broke her finger and has been out since the day before their first preseason match.

Remember everyone...Minnesota is an "elite" team (so says many of you on this site...) so they better win in 3 or they will fall to sub-elite...

Ohio state takes first set -21
Minnesota is playing some truly horrendous volleyball. It probably shouldn't have been that close.

Gophers look terrible. No fight or sense of urgency. They looked like they would rather be elsewhere. After watching some Pac12 matches over the weekend, this looks like a high school match. Sorry, but both teams look like crap.

Last time I looked mn was hitting .067 and tosu .097
The first part of this second set looks a bit better I think.

I'm at the game (the loud one sitting by himself) and the first set was all about setter play, as in Minnesota had terrible service from their setter... Horrendous.
Seems like they've figured it out this set thought

Sandbothe has been hit with a serious illness and didn't play at all last week. Kacsits broke her finger and has been out since the day before their first preseason match. Sandbothe is the big one... She really spreads the defense out and makes the outsides much more productive just be here presence... Hope to get her back asap |

I've been to all the gopher home matches and watched online as much as given at away matches and Wilhite just tends to play completely different at home. I swear her arm swing is somehow 20 times faster on the road.

Schau in for Handley. Not sure if just for back row or not.

Great fight to get the lead... Stupid mistakes to give it right back... Story of my life as a Buckeye volleyball fan
