#2 Wisconsin vs. #10 Baylor
Saturday, August 28, 2021 - 6 PM Central
Field House - Madison, Wisconsin Both teams are coming off wins last night: Wisconsin swept TCU and Baylor took out Minnesota in four. Who finishes the weekend undefeated? The volleyball forecast calls for a slug-fest featuring eight 2020-21 All-Americans: Pressley & Skinner (1st team) with Harrison (HM) on one side of the net, and Hilley & Rettke (1st team), Barnes (2nd team), Robinson (3rd team), and Loberg (HM) on the other. The weather forecast calls for sticky air and lots of floor wiping. At 6 PM, NOAA is predicting that a temp of 85 will combine with a dew point of 70 to give a head index in the 90s. Remember to hydrate.

So at this point, everybody has scouted Van Der Mark, Skinner & Pressley; and Hilley, Rettke & Loberg. These players know each other. It’s going to be a question of who can adapt more quickly.

I’m used to seeing large rosters, especially Penn St. with an army of DS’s….. I’ve never seen 7 Middles on a single roster PLUS 4 additional players listed as OPP’s! It has to be the tallest roster in total inches of height in NCAA history😃

The large roster gives them a built-in cheering section.

The large roster gives them a built-in cheering section. Especially in games like last night when there were maybe a few hundred badger fans remaining politely cheering here and there. And some Gopher fans but not too many. It was almost like Baylor brought along a student section. |

I think Wisconsin is overall tougher at serving than Minnesota and Baylor was (at times) in shambles passing yesterday. That'll be a big thing for Baylor to overcome, especially against Wisconsin's block and defense. Pressley vs Robinson should be fun to watch. I think Wisconsin will be in-system a lot, but Baylor's block and defense is really good too. I have Wisconsin in five, but idk.
I'm excited to watch a high-quality match with an electric crowd though.

Just based on the performances yesterday, I picked badgers in 4. Baylor didn't look particularly good, yet, and neither did the gophers.
Preseason performances vary a lot though. I'm not particularly confident in any particular outcome. Interested to see how the badgers deal with a top 10 team.
