We NEED to switch Kurt to opposite and Harvey to outside. Beaven and Pringle have been so bad. There was a point in the Nebraska match where I could tell Rubin was frustrated. Does anyone have insider info on Blyashov? Is she done for the season? Not sure if Hambly is stubborn as he started to develop Harvey as an OPP last year, or essentially a backup for Kipp. Kurt is a better passer than Harvey and in fact there is no evidence that Harvey can pass. I assume the coaching staff has tried to improve Harvey's passing but this effort hasn't yielded any fruit. Kurt does seem to be competent on the right side based upon her play in recent matches. I'd like to see Kurt and Harvey switch against a weaker opponent just to see what happens.

Kawa and Kirsch are not injured to my knowledge but Beaven is a senior and Hambly is loyal to upperclassmen for the most part. Unfortunately she hasn’t been very good, at all. Pringle has been a little better but needs to get more serious. Kurt shouldn’t be a six rotation player at this point. Kawa is quick. I'd use Cawa instead of Beaven because of her upside. By the end of the season I think she'll be very good. Beaven OTOH has been around for many years and still can't read hitters wrt the block and while she often touches a ball hit in her vicinity, she rarely controls it.
I completely agree.

OK, what's the weakness that was exposed and what do you want them to learn. I guess they learned they aren't as good as Nebraska and maybe that the outside hitters can be stopped. Anything else? They certainly weren't as good as Nebraska that night, but playing on the road in Lincoln can unsettle the most experienced of teams, let alone one with as many freshman as Stanford. That loss still doesn't take away from what Stanford has already done this season, and they still have a very solid chance to make the FF this season imo. And if they get another chance at Nebraska at a neutral site, I think the result could be VERY different. It appears you have forgotten about Nebraska beating Stanford at Stanford last year while playing 4 freshmen plus Nebraska has the same starting lineup as they had last year. Anything can happen though.

What's the over/under on attendance for Saturday night's match with Kentucky? Students are back. Last year I would have said 2300. After the Texas match, I'm not sure what to expect. 3824, a decent crowd.

You all…. I 100% understand Rubin’s frustration with her back row players, but I feel like she shouldn’t be showing it on the court. Am I the only one who has noticed it? I noticed it vs Nebraska and then last night against Kentucky

I sit court side and no I didn’t see that at all. Plus the back row played well Interesting stat from the Nebraska game per chalk talk. Stanford out passed Nebraska

I would assume that's based on Stanford's internal stats that he made that determination. Third party statted Nebraska as the better passing team on the night.

Beaven isn’t cutting it, teams are going at her. I get that she has perceived experience but nope. Now that conference play is starting I’m hoping we’ll see a back row adjustment. The schedule has been pretty grueling and I get the feeling that the team is a little banged up, having Blyashov back would be helpful although honestly I can’t remember if she’s good or not😄. If Oglive played in the Big10 they would be making a statue.

Stanford must be internally statting their DS's high. It's the only way the choices make sense.
