I don't think anyone thought the game was going to go this way tonight PSU was unnerved from the start of the match.. Maybe they foolishly felt—hey, we’re #3 Losing to #1 won’t hurt us. Ha! Well Izzy, CJ and Mendelson know what it takes to win now, if they didn’t know before tonight! 😰😰😰 Passing was about a 1 all night. And serving didn’t pressure anybody.

Really cool modern facility here but I love how close you can get to the court as a fan at Rec Hall. This isn't Pitt's normal volleyball facility-just playing there tonight because it holds more fans. They usually play at Fitzgerald Field House, which is very similar to Rec Hall.

Pitt you better be unanimous #1 next week. I hope Kevin has shamed that lone Nebraska vote into sense. The way Nebraska is handling Stanford, I think you will not find that Nebraska voter shamed. Idk sorry, as someone who was a bit of a Pitt skeptic before tonight, I think it's still Pitt. Have yet to drop a set, let alone a game. Nebraska handled Stanford well that first set, but the second set is much closer and Nebraska does not look as flawless as Pitt did all night. Longer stretches of shaky play (which yes they still fought through). The only plus Nebraska has going for it is Kentucky and Creighton (TCU a little as well) are better top wins than Oregon and USC, but it also balances out with their loss. If Nebraska takes out Stanford tonight, by all means rank them 2nd. But Pitt has earned that number one spot, making Penn State look pedestrian, more than Nebraska has with Stanford tonight so far (as of the end of set 2). EDIT: Also one thing to give Nebraska a number one vote this week if they beat (and maybe sweep) Stanford. It's another thing to do it last week, with their play vs the other top teams' play up to that point. EDIT2: Now Nebraska is really spanking Stanford in set 3 😭

Even with the always unsure nature of sports - teams/players get hot; teams/players have bad days - I didn't see a three-set blowout of THIS scale happening. Kudos Pitt.

That was awesome. The Pete was packed and the team looked incredible. H2P!

A good punch in the nose from a team playing exceptional ball .
The sun will come up tomorrow…even in Happy Valley.
The season rolls along

If Nebraska goes off against Louisville as well, then I think the argument between Pitt and Nebraska is a lot tighter. Until then Pitt has earned it.

Fairbanks is so good! Her precision and deceptive decision-making really keep the offense running. H2P

CJ played lights out against Louisville — but has really struggled since then, including tonight. What is up ?
