Clearly not true considering how poorly Wisconsin played and yet two sets being deuce They still swept em sis. I never said they won't have close matches at the level they're playing, but that they will pull it out every time. Girl they passed a 2.11... |

After thinking about who would win this matchup, I am going with Kentucky. Kentucky's defense, setting, and serve receive will be the difference. The height of Texas will not bother Kentucky as they have played against Florida, who is taller than Texas. When I think back to Texas vs. Oregon in 2012, I guess? I am reminded that Oregon stood no chance with Texas and their "Moon ball" offense. I am going with Kentucky in 4 Moonballs were what worked nine years ago. It’s not the Texas approach in 2021. Texas being tall is only one of at least10 things Kentucky needs to be concerned with. |

Glad Kentucky just got some practice against a good blocking team. Texas really hasn't faced a team with an OH duo like Stumler and Skinner that also had production from other hitters. Oh my. Someone else take this please. Lol |

I wonder how Kentucky's blocking and floor defense will fare against Texas. I think Kentucky's pins are better than Wisconsin's forsure.

You have to go back to 2011 to find a champion other than Stanford / Texas / Nebraska / Penn State
2019: Stanford
2018: Stanford
2017: Nebraska
2016: Stanford
2015: Nebraska
2014: Penn State
2013: Penn State
2012: Texas
2011: UCLA
I'd like to see Kentucky break through for a new 1st-time Champ, but I think Texas adds another year to the Big 4 reign.

Oh my. Someone else take this please. Lol Girl name one team Texas has played that had more than 2 real offensive threats this season. Baylor, Nebraska, Wisconsin, (penn state is arguably in there) - have had 2 or 3 solid offensive options. Perhaps the better question a UK fan should prepare for is when did Kentucky last face a Butler (hit over .600 against the #1 team), an O’Neal (hit over .600 against the #1 team), three solid DS/liberos, Logan and Skylar on the OH. Sure you can focus on your two “big” guns. Good luck. |
