A Great EqualizerUnready to rewatch yet Check out Indiana vs Oregon 3rd set to see an overmatched IN serve the Ducks off the court Hanson: 1.33 (32)
Zeynep: 1.58 (26)
Thibault: 1.64 (25)
Acevedo: 1.81 (16)Minnesota 1.54At the risk of seeming pompous a 'LMFAO' quip doesn't do justice to Purdue's exquisite serving plan into Zone 5, and maybe it was just an attempt at irony. I hated being targeted in serve receive by flat serves with pace 40 yrs ago and I too, wished the opponent would serve somewhere else. Years ago I suggested that MN bring in heavy hitting guy servers to help our reception when a top serving opponent was due. e.g. M. Hancock because we had no one who could perform a jump topspin. We have servers who have pace and flat trajectories and I watched Pedro in practice stand at the net and drive balls for passing a few weeks ago, but it wasn't a focal point. It seems like an anomaly that MN is so strong on floor defense digging hard driven balls and has so much trouble in serve reception where you have more time to set a platform to receive. MN now has a target on its face (not back) and we'll see how they adjust. ps. re. a comment about our MBs 2nd set: 0-0 Minatee has to interrupt her approach and hit long I suggested, given all of her attempts, that there were connection issues (and probably a bunch of block touches). she was only blocked twice and only had 4 HEs. Phoebe was not ineffective imo, but didn't have that many opportunities given Shaff's locations for setting. 03'15 www.bigtenplus.com/en-int/video/purdue-at-minnesota-condensed-game/1804327It seems safe to say that MN's success in the B1G will depend on better first contacts.

I will tattoo the team's passing scores on my arm so when I'm having a bad day, I can look at it and remind myself it's not THAT bad lol So I'm thinking something like this with the passing numbers underneath the volleyball. What do we think? Thank god for pinterest inspo. Maybe add a #teamwithapulse somewhere? #gagged?  |

I think Texas/Nebraska both passed around that in the Elite 8 back when Rod/Batenhorst/Krause were freshman |

MN now has a target on its face? True. Except for Crowl, who now has a Mizuno logo on hers. Ouch! |

Too bad MN couldn't put together back to back big wins. Apparently they can't play a ranked opponent without going 5 sets Lol. Was only following scores. When I saw 10-6 Purdue in the 5th switch to 9-7 - I assume a replay review reversal -, I thought maybe Gophs had a chance. But next update was 11-7 - has. Nevertheless, it's exciting to see MN actually in all these matches and winning a few so far.
