Maryland up 2-0...

Maryland's S.O.S is just disgusting right now. They're in the 200s. Obviously playing in the B1G will seriously improve this. But their scheduling does not help them at all in getting an at-large/seed. They could have done much much better in that area.

But yes, an at-large is still possible. Even a seed, though I think a seed is pretty unlikely.

good midweek vb!!

What happened to the scoreboard on screen? I feel like this happened with BTN/Fox Sports this past weekend. It was there and then all of a sudden gone, especially when the match gets tight.

[basil]

is there any other libero in the country that makes that dig on Hord? and digs it well?

When does the PSU staff make defensive adjustments?

[hornshouse23]

I wonder what the next goal post will be for Maryland for the folks who were bullish on ranking them after the badgers win.

[trojansc]

I also want to see more of Maryland away from home. Some teams, especially with highly variable levels of play, can look night and day away and home. I'm still salty for Maryland not getting into the tournament in 2017 after *sweeping* a USC team that ended up getting seeded.

Parker having a bad match, hitting negative.
Rollins and Hord contributing little.
Only Kudryashova and Holland with a good offensive night.

All 5 of MD's attackers are hitting .200 or higher. Yikes!

What, you aren’t totally inspired by sweeps over Iona and Quinnipiac?

Interesting…so if they finish in the middle of the pack in the B1G, not lose to anyone they’re not supposed to lose to + have the win over Wisco (and for the sake of the argument, Penn State) would that not get them in?

No, but I was seriously impressed with narrowly squeezing out a 5-set win at one of the bottom-tier AAC teams Temple......
