That is what I called I think. You lose I told you I wasn't going to take the bet. Besides, I called PSU in 4.

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... I don't think either Pierces sets world on fire with their defensive skills, but they would at least have better chance than Krause, which is not saying much. I would just hope their offensive power will overcome their defensive deficiencies.

Courtney is irreplaceable. There is no one in the wings who can take her place. She has an ability to take over a match, much as Micha did, and to lead by example. If Penn State manages to win the NC this year, I think it will be awhile before they win again. Penn State fans will have to get used to having good teams, not great teams.
I feel like the UCLA basketball fans who saw Wooden win all those championships, and then had to come back to earth after he was gone. Penn State will continue to be good with Franti, Washington and Lee....as well as Holcomb and Weiskircher, but the level of talent at all schools has risen dramatically, and the playing field has leveled.

I think Russ may have an answer for your concern, until then I will still ride this wind.

Did PSU win or lose? been out tonight. Psu had the sweep and they couldn't close out. They had triple match point and couldn't close it.

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.[/ I'm thinking that wasn't her ball, should have gotten picked up by the off block OH. But if she could have gotten it she should have kept going regardless.

I have no idea why coach Rose is continuously using Krause as she is a big defensive liability imo Agreed. She looks like statue out there most the time not knowing where to go. I miss Lacey. [/ I think Rose knows what he's doing, don't you?

Yes I think rose knows what he's doing he just doesn't have the strength and depth he had back there last few years

It is very tough to win on the road in the B1G. Penn State just did. As an aside, note to Liz: it's really bad form to say, as you did following Poulter's net violation that made it 21-19 in 4th set, that "hopefully they (Illinois) will bounce back." Weird comment. That's not weird for Liz. Although I see her as having respect for Penn State, she seems to have controlled(mostly) dislike for Penn State and it shows when she makes comments like that when she's on TV for Penn State matches. Maybe because of her sister Sam playing at Penn State. I agree. I wonder if there is a bit of tension between the sisters. Thanksgiving must be fun.

Every coach in the country could win with this team, and that takes nothing away from Rose.

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. What was really strange about that call was that it was made by the down official from the other side of the court when both the up official and line judge had clear views. Can't the up official overrule in that situation?
