Michigan's record doesn't (yet) have Friday's outcome versus Michigan State.
Now it does.

A couple of times in recent games Keegan has benched Calissa after a couple of HEs. In each case I thought the sets were subpar. But this morning I wondered if the coach expects her to adjust to a safe tip or more aggressive wipe off down the line than her standard xcourt swing. I want Shaff to focus on more pace and flatter serves, sets that our MBs can destroy, and more back row attempts. A couple of back slide HEs could have been kills if they were planned as back quicks ! If Wookie is not on the court I hope Acevedo practices more line drives, wipe offs, and sharp cross courts to beat the opponents' block. She showed much more range in the 4th set vs Neb tallying 5 kills. Keeping fingers crossed on the turnaround in Gopher passing. Whatever they did in practice early in the week paid big dividends.

Who do we think is playing tomorrow? And will he keep Crowl as the serving sub? Will Cook keep the momentum going or go back to constant switching up?

I'll be surprised if it isn't the old standard line up for this match. The Wisconsin match I think there is a decent chance the line up gets tinkered with by the 2nd or 3rd set.

You can't win if you don't score points on your serve. It's the stat that allows your team a better sideout percentage.
Why Would you want Crowl to be the serving sub? She served 11x with 2 SEs and MN won zero points on her serves in the first 3 sets Her first serve in the 4th was a SE and then MN scored 3 pts later in the 4th with Crowl at the line.
Nothing suggests to me that we should have her serving for a MB vs Michigan. I've no idea why he hasn't given Chloe Ng another crack at it.
Minnesota won 9 of 19 serves with our best server, Acevedo. You would not expect MN's serve efficiency to maintain near 50% against a top seed opponent.
I was very happy to see MN's serving rotation begin with Acevedo. For what reason I don't know, she served last in the second set vs Oregon and rotated to the service line at 8-12 and 17-23 In set 3 she served the first 4 points with 2 SAs before Ore got a sideout.

Well Michigan lost their in-state rivalry match tonight. Please no falling into traps Gophers! I wouldn't worry too much about that. Michigan's performance on Friday night was embarrassing, the team has checked out.

I agree with mcmike in giving Ng a chance to serve. Please let her try.

I have this weird feeling that the Gophs will come out flatter than my chances for financial success. They'll fall behind 0-2 then come back for the reverse sweep while we fans continue to lose our minds.

Wookie's warming up with the team, but has a big back brace/heat/massage belt on.
