Idk about this. Players know that if they don't look or act 100% supportive on the bench they'll get a talking to for that...no one wants to risk losing their chance of getting play time, looking bad to their teammates/coaching staff or losing their scholarship money. Plus, it looks really bad on camera when a benched player decides to sulk or look like they have a bad attitude about not being played...thousands of people watching form a poor opinion of players if they do that (not to mention the hundreds of thousands who might watch on Youtube later). It's also bad for Nebraska's image if that happens...Hunter and Foecke have told media in the past that Nebraska has hired sports psychologists that talk to them about growth mindset, how everyone on the team has a role to play, etc. They obviously train their players on how they're expected to act, what type of attitude they need to display and how to respond to questions in the media when asked about this stuff. Inside, some of these players are probably crushed (I would be too if I tried my best and never got played) but there's no way they'll let the world see that during a game. I was just going to post this same thing. The Nebraska players act the same way around Cook on the Nebraska bench like all the citizens of North Korea act when pictured around Kim Jong-un........smiling and crying in rapture around the supreme leader. So boring.

This is ridiculous and does not reflect reality. The NE bench is super enthusiastic in a very spontaneous manner. Me thinks you are just NE haters taking an opportunity for cheap shots after a loss. I understand why, cuz NE doesnt lose much. So go for it while you can.

You guys should lighten up, and see sarcasm for what it is. In isolation maybe, but look at the history. It's been going on for several years now. Repeated posts about the same person in multiple threads, whether it's relevant or not. Literally hundreds of posts. And now that she's been benched, constant posts villianizing the coaching staff. Repeatedly. I'm not making any sort of diagnosis over the internet, but just calling attention to how inappropriate the behavior is. Perhaps I've fallen victim to Poe's law, but it sure is a long con if that's the case.

Well that was inappropriate. Hopefully everyone in this thread who reads my original post understands that my point was simply just that Nebraska players know they are expected to be sportsmanlike on the bench, regardless of whether they get to play or not.

Sorry. Dont agree with your premise. They are very spontaneous and having a lot of fun, as a team. No indication they are faking their enthusiasm.

Ally is going to be a great player. But I said in the game thread that it looks like she has some technical issues related to arm swing, and I really think she needs to improve her vertical. Those are things that basically aren’t changed mid season. I really think she will be a fantastic OH, but for now it might be time for Lexi to take her spot back. I’ve been flummoxed by this all season. She seems to attack much lower than a 6’4” player should. I’m sure they will be working hard on it in the off season. Also, in the 1st game last night it seemed like she tipped every set. If they are both going to roll shot consistently, I would rather have Sun’s blocking. I'm going to return to my standard M.O. and blame the set placement. Too many of the sets Ally receives are too low for her to take a proper swing.

Anni Evans has deemed herself the instigator on the bench and Lauren was talking about how much she loved being on the sidelines with everyone. I'm sure there's an expectation of appropriate engagement while on the bench but from the sounds of it, the people over there aren't faking their enthusiasm. Anni was saying she's frequently sweating by the end of the game from being so active on the sidelines.

Anyone know what time the game is on 11/20? I think it’s the senior night, but there is no time listed.

This was awful. Like reallllly bad. Backcourt looked like they just got out of bed at times. Passing at times really bad even on not particularly difficult serves. Serving was atrocious. Sets to the pin were bad by everyone, but even so Kubik wasn't nearly terminal enough. Batenhorst shouldn't have even played an entire set. Krause looked like a freshman.
