What an exciting game to watch, but I really didn't feel like it was ever really that close. Holy Distribution for Illinois.....it didn't exist. Poulter has decent location, but setting 67% to the outside is pretty predictable.

(Sam has a NC ring ; Liz does not). Which NC ring does Sam have? Sorry, I was thinking of Cacciamani

Courtney already has my vote for NPOW.
Watching the Arizona versus Washington State game now and the pace of the game is so slow versus the Penn State match (night and day difference).

And 6 total blocks with 3 solo Courtney may not be the best hitter in college, but she is the best "player" in college! Looks like a NPOY candidate to me. Not aware of anyone in college VB who contributes so much in the front and back row, plus with Micha gone, Courtney is the most important leader on the team. Geez, 18 kills and 19 digs -- that is a crazy night and it's becoming almost the norm for Courtney this year. Wonder if people agree, but it looks to me like Courtney has taken another step up as a hitter this year. She worked so hard the last two years mastering all the tips and rolls and angles. This year she's just pounding the ball but hitting with tremendous precision. She just has every shot working for her right now and defenses clearly don't know what to do. If she can keep up this pace it will be a monstrous year.

Fun match. PSU a top 3 team despite the short attention span...with Micha this team would be incredibly dominant. Illini are young, continue to improve, defense is more than suspect, a top 16 team, should reach sweet 16. Illini are fun to watch...no more moonball offense. Illini need to retire one of the line judges...or move her to field hockey. That blatantly bad call against PSU in the third set could have made this match a sweep in their favor.

22-19 - Birks lowers her elbow and rolls, and the ball ends up landing in front of Courtney TO PSU A shot that Krause read, went for, then stopped and let drop.

Kendal Pierce had a strong game tonight. Lainey still not playing much. I hope she can get healthy soon. Concussions can take a long time to heal...
