Damn lol Nobody thinks Kentucky has a shot here? Neither team is great OOS and both are scrappy af. Comes down to who can exploit the other teams weakness OOS better. I don’t know that Rettke has seen as good of a back tight defender as Tharp in some time. She might struggle *more than she usually does* with her bread and butter sharp cross shot that usually just blows up other defenders. Hoping that can give us more transition swings that teams don’t usually get against wisky. I do think Wisconsin is the favorite but not as much as the poll make them out to be.

I picked Wisconsin in 5, but I do think that the greater presence of Wisconsin fans compared to Kentucky fans on this forum might be part of it too lol |

While I wouldn't have picked WI before the weekend, after KY was swept at home I reconsidered. |

While I wouldn't have picked WI before the weekend, after KY was swept at home I reconsidered. that’s the fair rationale but I think people might be putting too much weight into that natch. CU was amazing and we just didn’t play all that well. Every other team we have played (including a USC team that damn near took out creighton) we have absolutely murdered. Still Wisconsin is the favorite but people might be underestimating the wildcats |

Kentucky’s setting was quite bad in that loss to Creighton
Multiple in system sets that Kentucky didn’t even get a swing on
Kentucky benched their setter

Going to have to miss this one IRL but can see on Tv. Should be back on the wagon soon. I have no idea who's gonna win this thing.
For the fans there for Dayton, it appeared to be a bona fide student section for the first time since, oh, Illinois in 2014?
Hope it keeps up.

I was really impressed with the freshmen setter from Creighton
Kendra White and the Freshmen outside Sis.
Creighton was able to score a lot of points on left pin hitting over
Loberg has had some huge matches hitting over undersized right side blockers
Hopefully Wisconsin can take advantage that
I think Kentucky is still a top 3 team.

I think it’s gonna be tight. Crossing my fingers we have a home court advantage.
