shady questionable FIVB stats: USA: Larson: 6k, 2e, 12 att (.333); 1 ace, 1 error; 3 digs Thompson: 7k, 3e, 21 att (.191); 1 blk; 1 ace, 1 error; 7 digs Bartsch-Hackley: 7k, 3e, 20 att (.200); 1 blk; 1 service error; 11 digs Hill: 4k, 3e, 10 att (.100); 4 digs Washington: 7k, 0e, 10 att (.700); 3 blk; 5 aces, 1 error; 4 digs Ogbogu: 5k, 1e, 7 att (.571); 4 blk; 1 service error; 2 digs Hancock: 1k, 3 att (.333); 1 blk; 3 aces, 0 error; 9 digs; 26 assists Wong-Orantes: 9 digs Reception Stats: Wong-Orantes: 9 success, 1 error, 3 so-so, 13 att (61.5%) Larson: 3 success, 2 so-so, 5 att (60%) Hill: 4 success, 2 so-so, 6 att (66.7%) Bartsch-Hackley: 6 success, 3 error, 5 so-so, 14 att (21.43%) Not MBH's best showing, especially passing. I know that's not her best skill, but when she's next to Larson, Hill, and JWO, I would expect a little more. Our middles were awesome. I am fairly confident in a trio of Ogbogu, Akinradewo, and Washington. Who starts is an interesting debate, because I'm not quite sure that it's 100% going to be Foluke and Chiaka. You'd generally like to see more efficiency from Thompson and Hill too. Let's just get to the next beatdown against Italy. It's hard to look at those stats and be excited by most of those numbers against this Korean team. I would expect those numbers against a top quality opponent for MBH and JT but not here. In general, all of our pins have struggled except for Larson. Our middles, setters, and libero have been good. Drews has had her moments but has also struggled. If we're going to medal in Tokyo our pins have got to step it up from an attacking perspective and also probably serving. |

Quite obviously? Rosters and lineups are being constantly rotated. You’re reading way too much into this. Hancock has now played 4 games and they said in the podcast that this was around the time they would start putting in the A team. There’s no other reason to put out this strong of a line up if this wasn’t the. A team. Lol. You have hot takes, can be quite extreme, and have posts that I definitely don't agree with sometimes. Some people will attempt to discredit anything you post. But, it really does please me sometime to see you get vocal opposition (and at times demeaned by those who are *superior to you*) and you end up being right. K U D O S. |

I also enjoy being right when people attack 😂 |
