I don't know the majority of Kansas's lineup, so if someone could fill in the gaps (maybe bluepenquin) that would be very nice |

It can easily change from match to match. The most common lineup is a 6-2:
McGhie/Turner at setter
Szabo/Davis at Opposite
Crawford/Langs at Middle
Mosser/Bien at OH
Farris at Libero
I suspect they will want to stick with the 6-2 vs. the length of Texas. Mosser and Bien always playing 6 rotations gives them a lot of flexibility for in game changes.

As of now - I plan to come into Lawrence to watch this match.
Although an undefeated in conference Kansas would have made this match seem bigger - maybe the last loss from Kansas will make Texas take the game less seriously?

Will Saige get another full set? Or will she be the closer for all sets.

If Kansas plays like this second Iowa St match I’m watching Texas could show up in clown outfits and sweep. |

Ummm, I think Texas will sweep, but Kansas has only lost to teams in contention for NCAA Tournament bids, and they did beat Texas Tech twice, unlike some program one could mention, so it would be a good time to not lose the ability to serve or to make a ton of errors, or bad things could happen. Don't ask me how I know.

The last 5 times these teams have played in Lawrence - Kansas has won twice. Some really great matches over this time.
2015: Texas won in 5 sets. This was Kansas final four team.
2016: Kansas won in 5 sets. This was the year Kansas won the conference.
2017: Texas won in 5 sets - 18-16 in the 5th set.
2018: Kansas won in 5 sets. This was post Payne, Havili, Rigdon. This Kansas team just missed making the tournament.
2019: Texas won in 3 sets. This was a pretty bad Kansas team.

I know Kansas can make this game interesting, especially if Texas has an off night I joked more about how Kansas was playing as I watched them play Iowa St. I’m sure they will bring their A game. Not sure how they played in match 1 that they won but they looked very slow on the back end and not very physical at the net. They picked it up some as the match went on.

I remember one I call "everyone was sweating profusely" match, probably the 2017 game. But it's K-State and their un-airconditioned "gym" that's the one where everyone looks exhausted in the 5th set.
How's KU's serve receive?
