give a TLDR(Listen) for the lazy Me: wouldn’t it be good in the long term for Lexi to occasionally get in system sets in addition to the OOS junk cuz that L1 position badly needs a confidence boost Cool: good point but we’d rather set our middles and we train Lexi to be able to hit OOS Lol I’m in no way trying throw a grenade here but do you think Hames is thinking do I really want to send this perfect pass to be hit by a tip or roll shot? Players make adjustments to how others play.

Players make adjustments to how others play. The point is if a player gets nothing but OOS balls it should be no surprise that they are tentative and/or struggle. There's a mental aspect to the game and it would be big for Lexi's confidence if she occasionally got helped out by the setting choice. Let the block stay interested in the middle and give her a one on one or at the very least not be hitting a ball coming from behind her. I don't need proof that our middles can score. We already know what Lauren and Kayla can do. We need the L1 to be able to feel like she is trusted and that she can trust herself as well. It's just my opinion and I don't think it's the end of the world to give her *some* in system sets. She's the L1 so she's gonna have to deal with a lot of the junk as well, but it's an idea to help that clear weakness

In a Simla or role Logan E @ Texas would love more in system sets on the left but gets assigned to take out a lot of trash.

And she wouldn’t be anywhere near as good as the players you’re trying to replace. I agree it would be net negative all the way around by a lot. I would say she is the biggest reason they are playing just about as good as anyone in the last 10 games. If she’s not in the middle this Wisc game is a sweep. I concur that Lauren has been the catalyst that has lead to this ten match win streak. You might be right about net negative. Obviously we would miss Strivrins running the slide in our offense. I might point out that the last three MATCHES (not games) against Wisconsin resulted in sweeps with Stivrins in the middle and tomorrow may result in a 4th straight (though I certainly hope not - it's time we break that streak of 5 Badger victories).

It could be a margin Wisc sweep, the margin of error is extremely thin. I think the NU has better back row defense than Wisc and my 2 cents see’s a lot of high velocity balls going to the back row. Who ever defends its better will win.

Not sure the biggest, but really big for sure. Saying “we need to go to a set lineup” really allowed Kubik and Krause to settle in. While Stivrins play is great, her maturity and leadership probably helped the group feel like “we can win”. Looking forward to tomorrow.

The lineup helped a lot I just think without Stivrins offensive production and threat even the lineup solidification wouldn’t have improved the team as much as they have. There are only a so many NPOY type players out there. Hart was having a great year but try taking Retke off Wisc. instead of Hart. It’s a different team.

Just curious, if the Nebraska fanbase were to consolidate behind either Rodriguez, Lauenstein, or Krause for B1G FOY, which one should it be and why?

But both filled in positions that we weren’t strong points last season. Roddy stepped in and is playing like such an experienced player. Krause as well doesnt look like a freshman anymore. She is seeing the block way better and making good adjustments

Krause has made great strides as a freshman, but for Rodriguez we never say "for a freshman" now.
