Endsley is a very terminal hitter this match. Of 13 attempts, 11 were either a kill or an error (unfortunately 4 errors). She has been going for it.

I would wager to bet that Northern Colorado is tougher than Illinois at this point. Very good team they have there. I also think CU is bit better than 9th overall in the PAC. Not quite top half or anything yet, but we shall see as the season goes on. I would wager that you are wrong. Lol. Northern Colorado is a nice team, but, they went 5 with Northwestern and Colorado State at home. Also, Northern Colorado is on the verge of going down 2 sets to 1 against *Northeastern*. Northern Colorado did win in 5 against NE, and they are still undefeated. I'll still take the wager.  CSU and NW aren't bad teams, and they still won against them. Arizona also needed 5 sets to barely beat NW. A lot of good/great/elite teams barely won 5 sets so far this season that they "should" have swept. UNC is now and will likely stay ranked higher on RPI in non-conference than Illinois (unless IL can get better quick). UNC did beat the Denver team that beat USC. UNC also has a history with their latest coaching staff of getting much better throughout the season (of course no one notices as much in their conference), and that team just finds ways to win. Very scrappy. IL does have the opportunity to keep proving themselves worthy since they are in the B1G though. Besides, Texas Tech (another CU opponent) could also be a better team than Illinois. Would be nice if CU had at least one more higher RPI team in pre-season though. |

Glad UW came together and finished the last 3 sets somewhat easily.
PAC goes 4-0 in this challenge. I was one of the 6 that voted for the PAC sweep.

Would be nice if CU had at least one more higher RPI team in pre-season though. Arizona is a mess. Not sure what point that is about needing 5 sets to beat Northwestern. Good teams should not be struggling with Northwestern. Texas Tech better than Illinois? That's definitely a take. |

Good teams should not be struggling with Northwestern. Texas Tech better than Illinois? That's definitely a take. I mean, the Illinois that we are accustomed to....sure...a take. The Illinois we see now and the fact Texas Tech doesn't look too bad at the moment...not too much of a take right now. I do realize it's early though. After this week is when good teams usually start getting better. Arizona was one of them that did get better last season after being the same mess they are now. |
