The sweep by Wisconsin... Purdue looked confused and flustered at times. Serve receive needs to be on because when they can't set the middles, it becomes a long night for the boilers. But I have no doubt that they will regroup and do just fine.

Great comeback by the Badgers in set 1, then they took care of business in sets 2 and 3. Purdue seemed disorganized much of the 2nd set.

Chapman had an awesome night. She hit line, tooled the block and at times swung rather agressively. Carlini was really shooting the sets to the outside, it seemed to be some of the fastest tempo I seen out of them this season. Huge win and major confidence booster for winning on the road for the rest of the season. I am surprised that we won, especially in 3. I really thought we would loose in 4 or 5, especially towards the end of the 1st set being down 20-14

That was an awesome performance. People seem to be saying Purdue was out of sync. I thought they hit better (fewer errors more kills) then I have seen so far against the big teams. Setting and passing suffered toward the end. But that is how the Badgers win, by wearing opponents down with defense and good service, and now a reasonable block.
At this point I have to say Badgers have a better than even chance to win out.

I honestly don't know if there is anyone that can beat them at this point.

ATTA GIRL, CHAPPY! What a night! Sixteen kills and no errors on 31 attempts - .516! So proud of her. This is how we know she can play. I want to see THIS all season!

A special shout out to our serving specialists, workman and kvas, who also did really well when they came on.

I honestly don't know if there is anyone that can beat them at this point. perhaps not in the Big 10, except PSU, who already has, and without much trouble.

So...I have to say when we were down 20-14 in set one, I had deja vu with the PSU game. It had the same feeling on the Badger side of the net. It always seems to happen when my wife watches with me. I know some people on here seem to think that Purdue wilted, but what I saw was amazing defensive play by the Badgers from that point on. It was as if a switch went on, and suddenly Morey was in all the right places. That switch was my wife leaving the room to take her turn cooking dinner, so I'm taking credit.
Haleigh seemed to be really off tonight, attacking wise. I don't know if they chose to target her, which would seem odd, but she also seemed a little slow. Possibly under the weather a bit.

Besides a guy yelling @ Carlini,, "I love u #2",,,tough to beat a team with the best overall setter on the planet. WI solved their front line height problem from last year and their defense is really good.
