It is a challengeable call under 18.1.4.4: "A decision on an illegal attack, illegal block or contact over the opponent’s court that is dependent on whether there was contact by the player potentially at fault. The position and/or height of the ball or player is not challengeable." If the referees had ruled that player was reaching across the net but had not contacted the ball, the question of contact can be challenged. The challenge was about whether the ball was contacted or not (from R2's signal at initiation of challenge. Yeah, but I didn't see the refs confer about what the ruling had been. How can the R2 decide that the call had been "no touch" without talking to the R1? They have headsets to talk to each other.

Perhaps if the second best team in the Big 10 had been able to beat Pitt, the first final four slot would be to a different team. Alas, they couldn't. GO HUSKIES! Uh it took y’all’s messy team five sets at full strength to beat them whereas Minnesota was playing down two starters and lost in five. You need medication. B1G lives in your head rent free I see this bitter clown has returned from the circus.

Literally something like Prayer (Molitva / molit' - to beseech/beg") to God (Bog). (*More commonly understood as the common name for the Praying Mantis, but still...) I could see Maria as a praying mantis.

I guarantee you the R1 and R2 talked to each other. That's what the headsets are for. Well, you know more about this than I do. I know that in similar situations I've talked to my partner well before a coach or captain has come to talk to either of us. The best one was when I told the captain what the call had been (after R2 had told coach what we had called), the captain went over and told the coach something completely different than what I had said. My partner told the coach "That is not what he told her." The communication can be really quick because we both knew what the question (touch/no touch, height/location) was.

Like I already said, I know that you know more about this than I do. I had no idea they had headsets to talk to each other. Learning new things is good, so thanks for correcting me.

Thank god. The last thing we needed was for this championship to lose even more credibility with a Pitt Final Four appearance.

Congrats U-Dub!
Glad the Pac is still represented - and can’t believe it has been 7 years the last time they were in the final 4 - and that was with Krista Vansant. She was amazing.

Vansant would show the entire field how it's supposed to be done. Ah well. The Egg is nipping, in the mean time

I'd assume this FF appearance puts UW back in the picture for top 10-20 recruits in the near future? If Baylor can do it, UW can once again.
