Once Davis is no longer injured, I hope they just let her play. Need more offensive firepower on the court to go along with Lexi and Stivrins

Hames was horrible all weekend, not just a game that had horrible passing.

Does anyone think playing on a basketball court may have been an issue? And I am asking it as a serious question, because I was thinking taraflex has more give than a hardwood floor, so I thought it may have changed the dynamics of the game (especially defense) a tad.

Hames wasn't good this weekend. We need to be honest with ourselves. But it wasn't THAT bad. We have bigger issues than hames... just my opinion. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Hames wasn't good this weekend. We need to be honest with ourselves. He said horrible. I haven't finished charting, but through AZ and set three of SD, Nebraska isn't even passing a 2.0. I counted one set alone where she made 7 sets at the sideline or worse. I don't even know the last time they passed that bad. I do know it's the worst in the past 4 years. Hames avg. 0.6 kps, 9.9 aps, 0.3 saps, 3.4 dps, and 0.6 bps. That stat line isn't scintillating, but it's more than good enough to immediately tell you she isn't the problem. The hitters made 43 errors! You can lead a horse to water... At some point fans need to realize she can't singlehandedly win matches for the team. People harp on her not setting the middles enough when Stivrins is the only one that calls for the ball. They repeatedly practice that tempo two ball which Callie is constantly slow to get to in matches but people think Hames isn't setting it high enough when that's not even what they're trying to do. I'm not arguing Hames played flawlessly, of course not, but people should know what they're watching if they're going to criticize her. Most of the time she's making chicken salad out of chicken sh*t. If she's playing horribly, how does Sun have her best weekend in a Husker uniform? Maybe the onus is on players around her? Pass like an actual Husker team and hitters need to quit making terrible swings. Hames has things she can clean up for sure, but she's one of the last players fans should be concerned about.

I would add that their serve isn’t generating much pressure either. It’s not all about SA and SE. Far too often their opponents have easily been keeping the ball in system. Once that happens with an elite pin, it’s going to be ugly.

Seriously? Yeah, Seriously...I'll freely admit I'm not sure if there is much of a difference since I don't play a whole lot of volleyball, but I do know in football there is a hell of a difference between playing on turf than grass. So yeah, I do believe it's a legit question.

Is this like the wizard telling us not to pay attention to the man behind the curtain? ![](http://www.yesware.com/wp-content/uploads/man-behind-the-curtain.gif) So I shouldn't believe my eyes and listen to what is being observed in practice or evaluating the Stats as a means of denial? Sorry, not going to happen. But we are all entitled to our opinions, mine are that she should and can be doing a lot better, with or without improvement in the passing game. She has ample time to fix her timing and placement with Callie and Jazz and her failing to do so is a major issue. The fact Stivrins is now suffering from bad connection with Hames is yet another indicator that Hames did not improve her game over the off season, and digressed back to her Freshman poor habits. How long it takes Cook to address these issues will be how the season flows.

How long it takes Cook to address these issues will be how the season flows. I take a more general overview, which is Nebraska just finished a tough road trip without Capri Davis. Although she is not a starter, recent performance indicates she is the 2nd best front row OH on the team, maybe #1. They played and defeated 2 very good teams on the road. San Deigi being ranked in the top 25, and came from behind to defeat them on their home court. IMHO that's the kind of things that top 10 teams do. Are they a top 10 team or the #2 team as the polls indicate, time will tell. Lots of work remains for the team. To be expected for a team playing 4 freshman and 4 sophmores. That #2 rank is very surprising considering they are a very young team, and lack a proven hammer like a Foecke or Plumber. GBR!

I am with you on that perspective. I think Huskers did what they needed to do, and at this time of season, any win is a good win.
