I remember watching Oregon against PSU and they really did not play that well. Was that an unusual match for them this year? The travel jet lag might be enough to explain it if it were. Although that was the second match that weekend - traveling from Columbus to PSU is not that straightforward. It can add up. This is the first match of the weekend for both teams.

Changing which match is being televised is OK. But if it involves changing match start times, that's a whole other issue. I know at Wisconsin, a schedule change could affect a number of sports, venues, traffic, parking, etc etc. Not to mention the potential for adversely affecting the ticket-holders. (Though it is no longer the case, I know maybe ten years ago, the same video control equipment controlled the video boards at Camp Randall as controlled the video at the Kohl Center. That is, you literally could not have events happening at both sites at the same time, and have separate 'content' on the video boards.) That's enough for the time being. In this case they'd have to change the time, or drop the other two matches (which is why it makes sense to cross time zones for these doubleheaders.) |

It's a top-of-the-conference matchup, and it's... not televised. It's just on B1G+.  That's also happening Sunday with PSU v MN :/ |

Although that was the second match that weekend - traveling from Columbus to PSU is not that straightforward. It can add up. This is the first match of the weekend for both teams. They played Ohio State and Penn State on back-to-back days. They were supposed to leave Columbus at night after the Ohio State game, but, due to travel issues, they didn't leave Columbus until the next morning. I'm sure travel issues had some impact, but also, Penn State is a very good team. |

I need to watch more of their matches to get a sense of where they are this year. That travel situation sounds less than ideal. It seems like a common problem for that sequence of matches. |

They should've just lost when they were behind 5 points in the 5th like Wisconsin did against Minnesota... UGH! Only the Big Ten could make me defend Oregon |

What happened in Madison with Washington, combined with what happened with Oregon v OSU, PSU and Wash, had me thinking about the effects of travel. |

To be clear, Oregon - PSU had the same margin as Purdue - PSU, and Purdue was at home. Louisville did worse than either at Rec Hall. PSU is blitzing some very good teams, and slacking off against the mid teams. |

Am I right that Colyer is pretty much the only Duck player still in the lineup who in the match last December?
Daley McClellan and Colby Neal were also regulars last season.

Neal didn't play vs Wisconsin last year. McClellan did, however. Thanks. |

Louisville did worse than either at Rec Hall. PSU is blitzing some very good teams, and slacking off against the mid teams. Again, PSU played really well, but I also thought Purdue played terribly that match. Very nervous. The backrow play seemed like it hadn't been worked out yet. Anderson (who I was a fan of last year) was not playing particularly well that match either for long stretches. We've played Purdue teams that were much more integrated in D. They tend to get better into the season, peaking about 2/3s of the way in. Louisville early in the season did not impress me, even against the badgers who limped into that match and should not have gotten a set off of them. I'm still not clear how that happened! They've been better lately and Luper has really settled in at last. |

Yep, you're right. Looks like Neal played less last year than I had remembered.
