I've done a crappy job picking Gopher matches this year, but I did nail Purdue in 5. I see another 5-setter here, but this time I'll take the Gophs.

Is McKenna still expected to be out? I’m sure that’s a decision we won’t know the answer to until Friday. My *guess* is that she’ll be out, based on the attempt to have her play last Friday, and then the switch to more-or-less street clothes on Saturday. I hope that Keegan rests her until she's close to 100%. Both she and the team deserve that. |

Just ran into the team at the airport! They came and sat right in the same area I was in. I said hi to Lydia and Skylar, such sweet people! Added a little happiness to my day.

I loved it back in ancient days (when I was going to most of the away matches), when I’d end up at the airport the same time as the team (either the same flight, or diff flights, approx same time), and had a chance to chat with the players, or talk (a bit more in depth) with coach Hebert. I’ve also bumped into them occasionally (rarely) when individuals have gone out for Nat Team training or whatever, and I happened to also be flying somewhere. And yes, the players all come off as truly wonderful people. I am really proud of them all. |

I remember the last time these two played. That was a fun year. It was also the year I graduated from UCLA. The Bruins should have joined the B1G sooner. I would have been at Pauley in maroon and gold a few times! Was match point of that one a Wilhite smash into someone's face or do I misremember |

Hi everyone, question for you all. Are B1G+ and BTN separate subscriptions? I’m trying to watch the game tonight (and the rest of the games this season), and I want to see whether I need one, or both. Thanks for any info.

I’m trying to watch the game tonight (and the rest of the games this season), and I want to see whether I need one, or both. Thanks for any info. BTN is the network station you would find on some cable packages or as part of cable-free services to watch tv. B1G+ is the separate streaming service that has the matches that aren’t on the main network. Matches on the main network can’t be watched live on B1G+ but are uploaded within a day and can be watched as replays. |

I hope that Keegan rests her until she's close to 100%. Both she and the team deserve that. If she's still out I anticipate he'll stick with using Grote on the left side. Although that didn't really move the needle for them in the Purdue match he seems to think it did from the little press conference clip I saw. |
