Do we know that the problem is with MSU? Duke and UNC are not exactly from a part of the country that is doing well with COVID at this point in time--although I acknowledge that MSU is in about the same situation. The article on the MSU website didn't give any indication of where the issue might be, so I was just wondering. yes. M State had issues this past weekend. They were missing quite a few players against BYU |

They were missing quite a few players against BYU In the spring it was Michigan State hosting Wisconsin on the weekend. On Monday MSU announced COVID cases, and by Wednesday Wisconsin had the first of what turned out to be a series of seven or eight cases. So spare a thought for BYU and the other teams playing there vs MSU this past weekend. |

Maybe read more thoroughly. My only mention of Stanford was an example of SLU beating them in the then-head coaches maybe 3rd or 4th season. Not once did I say NW should be the lure Stanford is. Stanford is in a league of its own. Next, I’m not likening NW to any program; I was giving examples of *coaches* who came into struggling programs and made major strides immediately and created a culture of winning. Shondell’s first season was 2003, and by ‘04 he had the Boilers back in the NCAAs, then crushed recruiting and established them as an annual contender starting in 2005 when they made the Sweet 16. Has he built a powerful program over 18 years? Yes. Was his impact and success pretty sudden? Yes. Both can be true, and I give him and his staff all the credit. Also, you appear to know not much about Jim Phillips, who just left NW to be the ACC Commissioner after like 13 years in Evanston, where he was the National AD of the year 3 times, built a ridiculous $270M waterfront athletic facility and put something like $150M into the main bball/vball arena, and many other major investments. Why? So coaches can compete with recruits. Jim hired Shane, I’m sure because of his success as a men’s coach, local ties, and the hopes he could make NW vball competitive. So to blame the “AD situation” on 5 poor seasons in a row (and a pretty abysmal start to this season) when it’s a top 10 academic school with (finally) amazing facilities makes you sound pretty uninformed here. You can't isolate the coach from the program. I don't have time. Enjoy your keyboard and faulty non-existent logic. Lol what an idiot. |

Michigan looking nonexistent against Duke. The setter/hitter connection has been awful and it is error city! 15 hitting errors to Duke’s 7. 9 service errors to Duke’s 3.

Michigan finally shows up to take the third set over Duke. Georgia Tech has tied the match against Indiana.
Rutgers takes the third over NC State. The Wolfpack's starting setter went down with an injury early in the set, and she's definitely not coming back.

Mruzik finishes with 31 kills as Michigan pulls off the reverse sweep. The match flipped as soon as Jones got benched.
