So what is Kentucky’s service game like? Do they serve as tough/tougher than Wisconsin? Kentucky: lowest errors for opponent points in NCAA! But for both teams this is about the moment! Unless blow outs under pressure: the performance at 20-20 on SR -SO’s - swings on the line; only time will tell: not amount of bluster by fans of their favorite teams: So sticking with my original bracket choice; a 8 for 8 in the elite 8- and 4 for 4 in final 4- so to keep the perfection of my bracket- 2 for 2 in championship; i go with Lowest error team: The Commonwealth of Kentucky, over the Republic of Texas!! |

Yes. They definitely serve tougher than Wisconsin. They're also more athletic/dangerous in the front court, although not as tall. After that, it's a tough comparison. Both setters are elite. Both liberos are elite. I like Wisconsin's backcourt a little better, but Kentucky's setter is the national player of the year, so if anyone wants to give the edge there to Kentucky, that's extremely fair. It's my belief that Wisconsin's Barnes is the best libero in the country, but Kentucky's libero is no slouch. Kentucky is certainly better in the back court than Texas, in any case. But so was Wisconsin.
Texas has to do a good job with effective serving. I think as a Texas fan that's my biggest concern. Texas will be aggressive at the service line. If they implode with a huge amount of service errors without much payoff in terms of aces or overall pressure on serve receive, it will make everything a bit nerve wracking. That didn't happen against Wisconsin, and it put Wisconsin on their heels to a significant degree all match long.
Wisconsin also was effective in their service game against Texas, but Texas did a much better job of either getting in system anyway, or being effective OOS with their front court. I expect the same thing to happen tonight with Kentucky, but they play the games for a reason. Kentucky is playing top notch volleyball with a tremendous amount of talent. Anything less than the Longhorns' best effort will open up the door for a Wildcat win.

IMO Lilley far outplays Hilley, and while Barnes is a good defender, she doesn’t pass like Curry does while also defending well |

OK I'm out! I have to run to the store and buy something that was breathing last week to throw on the grill for pre-game.
I will check back in once I crack my first pre-game beverage. Remember Go Big or Go Home!!

What does lowest errors for opponents points mean? They don’t serve out or in the net often? When thw other team is serving they make less errors per attempt to side out Oh well I was asking what their serving pressure is like, not necessarily their side out stats |

Try to find something with VB-related names (which would be unintentional, but still) - like Gold Spike Ale by Berkshire Brewing I am at the mercy of what I have right now in the beer fridge, but it is full of tough beers. I have 5 selected just in case it goes 5 and will probably have to stop posting after 3rd set! lol Pre-game & set 1 The Answer 32 oz - Quad Mother Pulka - Raspberry, Red Currant, Marshmallow & Vanilla Sour Ale 6.9% ABV 2nd Set Aslin Brewing 16 oz - Triple Orange Starfish IPA 12% ABV 3rd Set J Wakefield Brewing 16 oz - 6ix Days in Dade - Imperial Fruited Gose Sour 6% ABV 4th Set (in honor of the Badgers) Humble Forager Brewing 16 oz - Coastal Sunshine Fruited Smoothie Sour 6% ABV 5th set The Veil Brewing 16 oz - Tefnut Blackout Imperial Gose 10% ABV 12% IPA??? That would have me on the floor! Might have to stop posting after the second set lol |

What does lowest errors for opponents points mean? They don’t serve out or in the net often? Service errors specifically mean hit out of play. But errors can also be hits from a team during rallies that are out of play. For example, if a player goes up to spike the ball but hits it out of bounds for a point for the opponent, that's considered an error. I do not know if dodger meant only serves, or errors of any kind. In any case, I think it's fair to say Texas will have more errors in this match than Kentucky. Texas isn't going to win by playing an errorless game. They'll win by being more effective on the block and in serve-serve receive. Kentucky has amazing athleticism along their front line, but they're not as athletic as Texas there. And they're not as tall. Tealey in particular at 5'10 as a middle blocker is considered on the smaller side for this level of play. She makes up for it by being able to jump out of the gym and overall being very effective, but it's still a tough matchup going against UT's O'Neal and Butler. |

Kentucky literally hasn’t lost the serve pass game once this season. I don’t see them getting out passed by Texas. If Texas wins it’s because of their block and OOS scoring.
