What if I told you that Merritt Beason is hitting .071 in her last 6 matches, including .000 at the Final Four, with her best match in that stretch .114. But that opposite position continues to be on lock down? The Red-White vs her teammates was another struggle at .094. What happened? What if I told you to give it a fcking rest already. We all know your M.O. of promoting Krause by sh!tting on her teammates. First it was Ally, then Whitney, so now you gotta come for Merritt. She’s having a tough stretch— so what, maybe there’s off court stuff she’s dealing with, maybe there’s on court stuff she’s trying early in season. Yes she has to step up, but you don’t have to step on her.

I know a lot of people probably haven't watched SMU over the years - but they've had some good players, nothing like the talent/transfer laden roster they have now. But here are some of the favs I watched at SMU over the past ~10 years
Katie Hegarty Avery Acker Montana Watts Lily Heim Jadyn Bauss

Oh, and another SMU random nugget:
2012 was the first year I did bracketology. SMU was not having a good year at all, they were just 'meh' in Conference USA. and had a rough stretch to end the regular season, barely even qualified for their own conference tournament.
Baylor, for some reason, had a match scheduled against SMU on the last day of the regular season. Baylor was firmly on the bubble. SMU, with nothing to play for really, somehow shocked Baylor and kept the Bears out of the tournament.
That was kind of a turning point for the SMU program? They have pretty much consistently been a 20-win season team since that point, and their only 'bad' year was 2018 where they were still decent, just not top-ish of their conference. But regardless, Sam Erger has them on another level right now.

Does J Cook have to shoot his horses now after this loss to the Mustangs?

Somewhere there's joy and laughter, and music from a band, But there is no joy at all tonight, in all of Huskerland.

I do NOT understand why we have this new no double rule. Because coaches are mad that they're setters can't set a decent ball. If you're setter is constantly doubling, maybe they shouldn't be the setter until the form is fixed.

Bad week to be the Nebraska practice puke bucket 😔 Did not know the puke bucket was a thing until I saw it in the documentary. I wish I didn't know it was a thing.

In Set 3 5-5 rally, why did Choboy do a dive after her line dig? There was no reason to slide like that?

Happy to see Allick get called on her lifts, she does that a lot.

Seeing Cook reacting on the sidelines is the most entertaining part of Nebraska's whole match tonight, he was not having it.
