I'm more than a little disappointed that the arena wasn't packed to the rafters for the final. Especially since THREE ex Nebraska players were often times on the court at the same time. It will be most interesting to see how well the USA's momentum carries forward to the upcoming world cup.

I thought with only being advertised the week before, the crowds were pretty great. With decent advertising, the crowds could be even better!

So many of these players have worked hard and sacrificed that this maybe the toughest job a USA coach has had in the history of USA volleyball to cut this group of 30 players down to 12 for WC and next year in Rio. The next quad should be very deep as well with lots of good young players coming down the pipeline.

Was it Sundy that mentioned that the "USA could field 2 Top-5 teams in the world"?

Lowe may have a case for MVP. 4.6 kps hitting .455 on the week. Goncharova obviously still has a case. Easy must have heard all those Vansant mumblings.. she came out on fire today. Murphy hit .123 for the week....wonder if she's feeling the heat Karch has always liked Easy, I think she'll be in Rio. Murphy had an off week, obviously, but I still like what she brings to the table.

One middle and likely the second liberal will be cut.

I love her fire, but I wonder if Kelsey is going to lose out to Vansant at OH the way they are talking. And based on this week, I'd take Fawcett over Murphy. Of course Molly is the one I'm going to feel the most sorry for... She might get to play World Cup, but not Rio (assuming Glass is healthy).

I know it's medium-sized consolation, but if USA wins gold it's going to be because of a lot more players than the 12-14 on the roster. ALL these players are making this team better.
And that doesn't even get at the USA alums who paved the way.

I know a bunch of Husker season ticket holders who weren't aware it was even taking place until this last week. For some it's hard to make plans on such late notice.

It's interesting that against teams that block really well when they have their best players both Murphy and Lowe struggle alot, as well as the other pin hitters. They will neeed to get better at dealing with teams that adjust blocking schemes throughout a match if we want to win Gold. Brazil at their best, China...etc.. they won't let Lowe, Murphy, Hill, etc any of them hit the way they normally like to, and they will make better backcourt adjustments as well. It's not going to be anything like this week at all.
