Shame on you for mentioning weight. Good grief. Franklin deserves to be commended for the work she has put in. Chill out And Karch Kiraly will look more favorably on her in her current condition. Not a bad thing. |

moonballing all the way to a ring It’s a lost art when all these new phenoms are setting the ball a centimeter above the block and no one is fully extending anymore. i hope ur joking |

They did that last match too, right? Yeah. It was the same story. Sarah and Julia didn't practice for 3 days and then they come out and do this:
FRANKLIN, SARAH 25 10 69 .217
10 ROBINSON, DEVYN 7 2 19 .263
14 SMREK, ANNA 7 5 23 .087
6 SHADD-CERES, TRINIT 6 6 23 .000
52 BOOTH, CARTER 3 2 15 .067
No doubt The Badgers will become more cohesive and get better, but some of the veterans need to play better right now. There also seems to be a lack mental toughness and grit. If Sheff was unhappy after Louisville, I'll bet he's flat-out pissed off right now.

Wisconsin isnt going to do anything until they get everyone involed Franklin taking 69 swings and the next closest is 23 is wild Very much this. Wisconsin’s offense got way too predictable even though the passing wasn’t atrocious. I know it takes time to develop the connection between middles and a new setter, but chronically setting the same player on repeat won’t help that connection develop. |

I'm tattling fr. Why did we stop shaming people. You're tattling what?
Was that supposed to say "fur" or something?

Who would’ve thought it would be Wenaas to look like option #1. Love to see us pull out a good win with Skinner having her worst match in a very long time even though seeing was a bit of the problem I think it has a little to do with Madi being the number one scouting target. They had her number. But Wenaas stepping up was great to see. They were both good: Wenaas 18 kills at .360 / .240 efficiency; 10 digs Skinner 15 kills at .294 / .216 efficiency; 6 digs Texas .370 / .265 efficiency Wisc .313 / .153 efficiency |

There were things that encouraged me today. I actually think Franklin looked ok today. A bit more movement and energy compared to last match. Booth can be great, but still gets lost on the court. Smrek didn’t look entirely up to speed. CC was more looked in.
Shout out to Trinity, this match she wasn’t enough, but she played more of a part so the badgers weren’t entirely hampered when she was in front with the setter. Taking almost set and nearly a second was a bit of a bonus in my book. I wasn’t expecting it.
Dev started well, but faded. It felt like Charlie was setting the ball to her everythine she heard dev call loudly, even when it wasn’t a good idea. The block also faded.
The backrow and how to handle 1st and 2nd balls in D was a bit of a mess for the badgers, which I guess makes sense since there is no settled rotation yet. So many simple balls set over or on the net and past the pin. Their transition game really struggles as a result. The crowd got most worked up when the transition game worked. They could sense that was a struggle.

And you say I’m weird? Girl. Seriously you should be committed into some type of institution. You give unhinged with every single post you make Just so everyone knows: WahineFan44 has three other handles (one Stanford and one Washington handle) on this website to talk sh¡t on programs, including Texas, and he’s used two of them to agree with himself and like his own comments! WahineFan44, you have until tomorrow at 12:00 p.m. EDT to delete the other three accounts, otherwise receipts will be shared. 😘 Share the receipts sister. I would LOVE to see what my other handles are Me and my four personalities would love to see it |
