The problem is that it took her completely out of the offense for no reason. She got back for the block, but that kind of miscalculation could have an important effect later in the season on a different play. The ball suddenly redirected from something in the ceiling. She would not have been any more 'in the offense' unless she predicted it redirecting toward someone else quickly enough for her to have time to transition off the net. That's not real life. If that kind of miscalculation is the biggest issue she has, she's doing something right. Every player makes a miscalculation every time they lose a point, and ALL of those can have an important effect later in the season on a different play. It's silly to make a jab at a kid for one mistake. There is literally no point going under the net. It takes you out of the play for no reason. She has been great, but she needs to get that option out of her mind. That's all I'm saying. |

I know it's not determinative, but the score difference between Baylor-MN and Baylor-WI shows that there's a BIG drop off after the top 3-4 teams. Granted, that's not anything unusual. 25-7? Seriously?

No player in country scares my like Pressley does. You do everything right and she can still score. If they get her in system more often Baylor can beat anyone I'm not scared of Pressley only because Baylors passing is what it is |

She went to go chase a ball under the net and out of bounds to bring it back. You can do that internationally, but not in the US. That specific ball ended up hitting the ceiling and being played by a teammate while she harmlessly ran back into position. I think I’m going to have to get the school pass for BTN+ again so I can rewatch the match (was at the game). I don’t recall that play at all. |

After last nights match I thought Baylor had a real shot in this one but this result should be expected. Wisconsin is a well oiled machine and Rettke Hart and Hilley all know each other well also edge the home crowd. I think Baylor should be happy leaving Wisconsin with a 1-1 result said it before and I'll say it again...Sedgwick is not an elite setter. If she were, this team wouldn't lose. |

If she wants to play professionally I would imagine it’s a play you don’t want to be used to second guessing whether to do it or not… |

This was truly one of the weirdest matches I’ve ever seen. So weird for Wisconsin to just dominate for 2 sets and then get dominated themselves just to go on and dominate again…. How were none of the 4 sets competitive ?

The story on uwbadgers.com claims the 7 points by Baylor is the lowest set total ever in rally point scoring by a ranked team.

I read that as the fewest points by a ranked team against Wisconsin in the rally scoring era. I don’t know if that’s the fewest points ever scored in a set by any ranked team or not. |

How were none of the 4 sets competitive ? Sheffield was tinkering with the lineup in the 3rd set. The plays seemed a heck of a lot slower developing as a result, but I am far from an expert to give much more of an analysis that that. I’m reasonably confident that serving wasn’t nearly as good in that set. |

There is literally no point going under the net. It takes you out of the play for no reason. She has been great, but she needs to get that option out of her mind. That's all I'm saying. If she wants to play professionally I would imagine it’s a play you don’t want to be used to second guessing whether to do it or not… She is not playing professionally. She is playing in the NCAA, and that play literally gets you nothing or worse in the NCAA. International rules also don't allow the libero to serve, or more than 6 subs, or three challenges... I love Orzol. She is great, but she needs to realize what rules she is playing under. You underestimate her intelligence if you think she can't do that. It will come with time. |
