2016 was the year, not 2011. Penn State actually went 6-2 in their entire match in the regular season that year against Nebraska, and then in the Regional Semis they were in a 6-2 only some of the time. A situational 6-2 if you will. The international double-sub is certainly a tool to have and can pay off situationally. yeah that makes more sense. UCLA was the 2011 dandy and PSU lost to Hawai'i in RSF. It's all comingggg baacccckk to me nowwwwww. Iirc, Penn State lost to UCLA in the regional semi in 2011. Lost to Hawaii in regional semi in 2015 in Des Moines. |

okay so I understand what you're saying, but it's not best to debate on an unjustified projection by using a team from over 2 decades ago. The game has changed IMMENSELY... 2003?!?!?! In 2015 USC ran a modified 6-2 and was #1 before losing a heartbreaker to Kanas in the Regional final. In 2017 USC ran a 6-2 and had several match points on Florida at Florida to go to the final four and couldn't quite close it out. They were plenty good to beat that Florida team. Has the game changed IMMENSELY since 2017? you just used two teams who didn't even make a final four to punctuate a point that a 6-2 can win a title? Do you not remember the original post indicating no coach plans to win a title in a 6-2? And then you discussed 2003 USC...and then proceeded to use 2015 and 2017 USC (both of which failed to make a final four, regardless of how close you think they were) to attempt to prove that a 6-2 can win? I mean I don't even have to say anything you're kind of doing it for me. So thank you.. |

You’re acting like it’s literally impossible. Also in 2017 Penn state wins the title in a 6-2 If their setter didn’t trip lol. Clearly that team was also good enough to win a title |

I think it was 2011 when Russ Rose literally busted out the 6-2 for the first time in the regional semifinal as the #16 seed playing against #1 Nebraska in Lincoln. They were up 2-0 and 24-22 before Neb went to a diff level and got used to defending the 6-2. The fact that the 6-2 can spring up on defenses and almost cause a massive upset is kinda proof that it can be useful and it just a last ditch effort. Even though in this example it kind of WAS a last-ditch effort. <3 2016 was the year, not 2011. Penn State actually went 6-2 in their entire match in the regular season that year against Nebraska, and then in the Regional Semis they were in a 6-2 only some of the time. A situational 6-2 if you will. The international double-sub is certainly a tool to have and can pay off situationally. I have been searching for this match on YouTube forever!! Can never find it. |

You don't think they had "winning a national championship in mind"? |

You don't think they had "winning a national championship in mind"? I mean, we are forgetting the obvious. Wisconsin went 6-2 in 2022 (ranked a #1 in the championship and knocked out in regional finals, where we forgot how to pass), and 2023 (ranked a #1 in the championship and knocked out in the final four by Texas, where we forgot how to pass). I can tell you that 100% Wisconsin was thinking national championship. |
