Those matches have no relationship to this one. NE players are human and after losing 5 straight, the last 3 in 3 set sweeps, this provides some extra motivation to NE. That can be counter-productive. WI seems to be always motivated to play NE. Expect both teams to be motivated. Because in any other match it's just ho hum?

Am I correct thinking the field house is smaller but has a larger percent filled with noisy students? I've heard some say the field house can be louder. About the same overall attendance. Student attendance fluctuates quite a bit but it has been better this year than in a long time. Nebraska Devaney Center capacity is 7,907 seated but could see 8,100 with general admission standing room only. Wisconsin Field house capacity 7,052. So it's pretty close.

As a Husker fan I’d still have to pick UW but this should be a barn burner And as a Badgers fan I’m thinking advantage Huskers. Lots of anti-weauxing going on here.

Which BTW still doesn't make sense. Why not just not be cute and just say Badger fans have no confidence in their team? (accurate)

(accurate) In an old meme from Usenet (rec.sports.football.college) weauxing (a contrived Cajun spelling of woof), was barking about how good your team was--and the anti-weaux was intended to avoid the jinx. Seems it's happening in both posts I quoted before--not just the UW post.

The probability of Wisconsin beating Nebraska for the fourth time in a row is low. They have had victories despite themselves lately, thanks in part to crowd support. In past years NE could not stop Retke. WI is not a one pony Retke team, but NE matches up, except for Retke IMO. Thus the keys for NE: Serving, keep WI OOS to limit Retke offense. Can the NE back row dig Retke's shots and possibly frustrate her? The last few years, WI has been sweeping NE. WI always brings their "A" game vs NE. Huge challenge for NE, which may need their best game yet to prevail. Again IMO. GO BIG RED! GO HUSKERS! You forgot to mention Neb's complete lack of a viable OH2 over the past month.

Or, say, any third set, or any set point!

Wisconsin has Nebraska's number just as Nebraska has Penn State's. I don't see that changing this year. Hope the Huskers prove me wrong.

I believe Wisconsin had the better team the last four losses, I’m not sure that constitutes having their number. If Nebraska were better or as good it would be. They just weren’t. I thought Nebraska could have won one of those matches but I didn’t think the should have or even would. Wisconsin this season is in my opinion more complete than Nebraska is this year as well, the gap is closer however than the last few matches.

Wouldn’t have thought this a month ago but I’m now leaning toward NU beating Wisc on Wed. The middles cancel each other out, I expect both sides to have middle production. Losing Hart hurts because that moves Robinson to the middle and Smrek to the right. She is physically imposing but slow off the floor, Krause gives NU an advantage at RS. Kubic and Orzol are close and imagine both will get production. The other 2 lefts for both teams are all over the place. Probably an advantage with Loberg and Demps? Setters are close. Libero are close. But NU has the advantage on the other DS. Civitia is solid when the ball comes straight to her but is a liability when she has to take a step in either direction laterally. Then as always it comes to the serve game, close but I think at home NU is more comfortable and gets Wisc out of system more than Wisc does NU. I would take Hilley every. single. time. so I don't agree that the setters are close. How many posts do we see about Hilley not setting well, making bad choices? We see those every single match with the Huskers. Hames is good - but no where close to Hilley.

Actually last night against Purdue Nebraska had 8,321 total with the SRO.

Or, say, any third set, or any set point! Who won? Regardless of the typical crap 3rd set, who won in the end? And this is not some homer who can see no flaws in "their" team, I don't think I have made any secret that this is not a Wis team I resonate with due to the makeup of the roster. But again, despite badger poster's inevitable pessimism here, they are a top 3 team.
