Questions for Badgers:
1) Was the TAMU match's "one-Libero" an exception, or do you think the Badgers are going to keep with that?
2) Anything else glaringly wrong about the potential lineup?
Answers for Gophers:
1) Yeah, I'm not at all sure whether it'll be Wookie or Alex, but I'm going "Wookie"
2) Ditto with Chloe instead of Skylar or Elise

Seems like, at least for now, the staff are settled on Schumacher being alone with the jersey. Tho, based on SR performance........🤷♂️ 2. Nothing glaring, but we've seen different starting MBs and Opp trios of our 4 available. Thanks for putting a thread together! |

But her serving, IMO, has been less than great; not "bad", but could be better. So one possibility that occurs to me is that you could see a "second libero" who is nothing more that a serving sub for her, that costs you nothing in terms of the substitution count. It's nothing they've done so far, but a possibility I was thinking about last night. A healthy Smrek is the starting Opp, but the two starting middles is something changing from match to match, and even set to set. Maybe for particular match-ups or relative 'health'; not for "poor performance. |

It's nothing they've done so far, but a possibility I was thinking about last night. Before I saw - and recognized the benefits of - using a pair of Ls for serve / receive, I thought that what you said was the only half-useful reason for utilizing two Liberos. It seems like a potentially risky move, though, to tie up a good serving sub to just one position, for just the benefit of a substitution-savings. But, I'm not a coach (and never have been, and never will be), so take that for the $0.000002 that it's worth! |

EDIT: and, they stopped dressing Saige as an L2. 2) Middles are by committee - Smrek is RS, and we don't know until game time which of CC/Dev/Booth will start. They will all see some playing time though. |

Looks like the L jersey is Schumacher's alone to lose - although her passing has been a little less solid of late, so we'll see. GG is DSing for whoever is playing RS. That looks to be Smrek now that she seems to have recovered - but could be Devyn the injury flares up again. When Smrek plays, the middle has been a rotation of Booth, Robinson and CC. I'm not sure which starts this match - but I think they are leaning toward using CC as a blocking sub for charley when serving with Orzol in the front row. |

Go bigs, Go Badgers. |

Last night they switched to CC instead of Devyn for the third set. And I wondered if it might have been because Devyn dumped a couple serves into the net at 'critical' times. Lots of factors to consider, but "a good problem to have". |

Go bigs, Go Badgers. Much harder to block in a 5-1 because you have three rotations of Fuerbringer in the front row. Opponents are going to attack Fuerbringer every chance they get. |
