What is the point of the players waving to each other at the end of the match, but the coaches shaking hands?

We gotta bring back the handshakes. The wave is too much of a cop-out.

After watching these two Big matches, I’m
In awe at the passion, competitiveness and talent that was on display. Watching these great young women compete was an absolute treat.

Purdue played better than they did against MSU. Glad to see the Jael Johnson played a little and M. Hornung played her normal minutes.
Not sure how they will rank this coming week. Still have plenty of volleyball to play until December rolls around.

Nebraska won despite having Batenhorst go 0-4-10, and then Sun go 4-4-16 as her replacement. Good thing Caffey had a career night with 14 kills at .619, Stivrins added 14 kills at .393, Krause 13 kills at .313, and Kubik had 15 kills (at .125)

It’s 10:30 and I’m unusually jazzed

Yah I thinking Lexi may get her starting spot back after tonight and hopefully she'll play a little better when she's not coming in off the bench. Also. I imagine she has low confidence after having her spot taken. So we'll see. Caffey is a beast!

Its time they start putting Women's Volleyball on ESPN and more accessible for everyone to watch!

Sun needs sets in system if she's gonna be starting on the left. This whole use the middle as a decoy to set the OH one on one on the pin, running combination plays with the leftside hitting a 2 ball, etc... let her get in on some of that action. She needs to build her confidence back. Everything can't be bumpsets from right back or moonballs.

Having said that, if Sun can get back to being a .225 hitter who averages 2 kills a game, it’s plenty good enough given the point scoring of the other 4.

I don’t agree. They don’t need that player as a set of choice, if she or anyone can be solid in a limited role this team can win
