Another sweep on the road. Being a fan of this team is so _boring_. Michigan files a protest against this comment. |

I kind of feel like a Purdue playing on all cylinders should get at least a set at home with that support. That said (and not having watched the full match), the Badgers have a way of disrupting other teams play with serve and block. I'm thinking that the badgers D is now more dependable than it's O. I think that is okay, though. We have so many weapons (even Julia from the BR!) that someone will always be hot and scoring, but a great D keeps from giving points to the opponent. Also, as I've said, Mackey is not their home arena. Home crowd, yes. |

Purdue on all cylinders has at least a 40% chance of beating anyone in the country, except maybe pitt. But their floor is lower than many because the passing/setting/opp is so inconsistent. Yeah. I agree with this. Consistency is the issue. |

I love a good D and transition offense. That is what I see as badger volleyball. So, I'm Ok with it. |

I cannot wait for robtearle to show us how ridiculous Charlie's service sideout rate is for this match. 16 points scored, 2 serves lost so far. I'll do the rest of the match later, but I did Charlie's numbers. 18 points won, five times serve lost. She really fell off after the first set! LOL |

Purdue on all cylinders has a cap. |

How in the hell could Purdue look so good against RED on the road and then lay an egg @ home?

Charlie has been...amazing. Still a lot to learn, as expected, but she has carlini and some of the best offensive weapons. AND her dad. She might be one of the best to ever wear a badgers Jersey. Calling it now, we win at least ONE national title with her, if not more. And we FINALLY have a libero who we are building.

Purdue had the better hitting percentage in each of the five sets. How do you outhit a team in all five sets, and lose the match? NINETEEN service errors. |
