Whoa

Yikes... some of these non starters are not going to cut it in Big 10 play. Shaffmaster, Grote, Wucherer, Hanson, and Z better stay healthy all year.

[gopherhim]

The poor fantasy player who wanted Grote to play six rotations but she played three rotations for only 2 sets 😅

She was 8-2-11 (.545) with an ace, 2 digs, and 2 blocks though! Still tied with Wucherer for 10 points in the match.

Shaff, Hanson, and Z, yes…. Acevedo and Crowl have been as good or better than Wucherer/Grote AT TIMES so far…

A few ugly ones but a hell of a middle set there on her last one to Minatee

Brainstorm!!
Ng’s perfect “1” to Minatee exposes major flaw for Shaff
She’s just too dang tall. Would need to crouch to set a “1” or set from on her knees!!!

This is actually mildly serious.  An effective MB kill comes from the hitter's ability to drive the ball down into the court
If they can't get 'on top' of the set to hit it after their swing arc goes past vertical we can't get a 'TayMo' floor denting point.

Meh, make that statement when opposing teams actually have video of Acevedo and Crowl to scout.

So happy for Chloe and Syd!

Lord have me try our passing is terrible. If Cook doesn’t think that every BIG team is going to serve Wookie off the court he’s got to be crazy. I want to see what Gray can do in an extended backcourt role.
It’s becoming hard to watch; I’m a big Wookie fan, but it’s time for some other options lol

I truly feel much of Wucherer's problem is not going to be resolved in practice and on the court.  My opinion only, no facts.

I also want to see Ng set for a few points. But also, everyone needs to remember that the coaching staff sees her serve in practice every day..

Very true but the opportunity was there tonight and probably only tonight this season.

CHLOE! 〽️♥️
Snickers! 〽️♥️

[mcmike]

Snickers is definitely easier to spell

[skolgophers]

The tv announcer must have been reading VT. I think at one point he said “gophers fans have been waiting a long time for Ng’s first assist of her career and there it is” or something similar 😂

I had fun watching all the players tonight. On the other hand, I look forward to seeing are starting lineup gel against Auburn before BIG play begins. Of the non-starters, I think Acevedo has the best chance of seeing significant playing time. I do like to see Crowl situationally but I'm not a fan of the double sub for this team. Go Gophers.

A great night for the Gopher serve
