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. agree. Lol Minnesota’s serving is in the easier half of Big Ten teams we’ve played.

Actually I am a bit encouraged. Lexi Sun I thought probably resecured her starting spot and that should be a plus going forward. Batenhorst has been struggling and seemed to need a bit of a break. I thought Krause played well; she quite literally is a freshman. I thought both teams kept each other off balance. Neither team maintained a consistent rhythm to their play. Lots of scrambling play, part of long rallies. Tough loss for the Huskers. See how they recoup vs IL. GBR!

This week was such a lost opportunity.
Time to regroup... Hopefully last night gave Lexi a boost of confidence.
Nebraska can't afford to toss set 1 anymore trying to figure out who is going to be OH1.

Wow. Thanks, Purdue. Nebraska goes 0-2 this week and is able to stay tied for first in the conference. This group is still in it. Time to regroup, bounce back, and learn from this week.

me to smrek after her performance today vs midweek LITERALLY. it’s also funny how abysmal we looked this week, yet we’re back in first. That’s some serious luck. I hope the girls can come back strong this week with 2 tough road tests. I was really pleased with Sun last night. Hitting % aside, her shot selection was good and had a lot of heat. A lot of her misses were missing high hands-I’ll take that in her first game back.

Love to see it. Im sure her confidence had taken a hit, so I am happy she seemed confident and was taking big rips. I wonder who will start this week?

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. I was at the match so you may want to add that there were several times during the match when the Huskers scored a point to side out the one who served right after that point made a serve error which done away with any chance of getting any momentum. They also had three service errors in the fifth set. I personally thought that the three most experienced hitters could have done much better. I know that at least twice Sun hit the ball way long by probably two or three feet past the back line. Stivrins had a single blocker one time when she barely hit long. There weren't even any passers that close to dig the ball. I thought that she didn't need to try to hit it so deep when there were no passers very close to where she hit. I thought Sun & Kubik tried too much just trying to drop the ball over the block. I had hoped that Madi had got over doing this so much but evidently she hasn't. Minnesota picked most of them up prety easily. So many of the serves were high coming across the net. Even those serves may have caused some problems digging but Minnesota made good passes back to the setter. There very few times NU did make a serve which was a lot lower coming over the net it seemed to cause more serve receive problems than the other ones. This wasn't one of Hames better matches. On match point she set the ball right into the double block where Krause had no chance to make a kill.

Sun was an improvement at OH over Batenhorst, and we know Sun can play better than she did vs MN. Overall, I'm more opportunistic for the rest of the season now, than before the MN match. Improvement still needed.

I think Sun’s play was encouraging. She didn’t hit for a great number but I liked how she took some really aggressive swings. Madi looked tentative last night, which was the first time this big ten season. But if Madi gets back to being aggressive and we can get Sun going, I think the team can go on another big win streak

Yes, every year they complain, then when the dust settles after the tournament Nebraska finishes by at least playing in the regional finals, that puts them in the #8 position or better, just like they have for the last 10 years.
