And the all-important VT poll is split, 36 votes each, as of 9:09 p.m. (Central) on Monday. Going to be a long 46 hours, 51 minutes (give or take) until first serve.

I’m so glad I’m off this Wednesday. Now to figure out a way to watch the game in real time... we have a quest. My wife and I usually take two ballroom dance lessons back to back because the studio is over and hour away. We had settled for a single lesson tomorrow (Tuesday) night, but I just got a text from our dance instructor saying he had opened up lessons on Wednesday night for us. ☹️ Guess we’ll be recording the match and trying to avoid spoilers til we’re able to watch it. Yow! You are a fine example for all husbands. |

I thought we already argued during the OG and came to the conclusion that I don't know %*$# and am old. You even posted a pic of old people playing volleyball. Why do you care what I think ? now? Just felt a need to rise above me once again. It seems you are a little insecure with yourself and need outside validation from VTers. Why else would you respond to a post that is not even addressed to you. Weird and Arrogant. Because I'm addressing the content of your post as opposed to addressing the poster as you just did with madden. You're the one who tried to throw shade at somebody. Coach Cook has talked countless times about how he doesn't care about service aces because they are not useful in assessing opponents' PASSING as a whole. You would much rather be the team that dimes most balls and gives up three or four aces than a team whose setter has to go all over the place all match but doesn't give up an actual ace. I live for these interactions |

The Gophers are aware that their main goal on Wednesday is to finish off the Hoosiers in less than two hours so it doesn't infringe upon the Nebraska/Wisconsin tussle.

Don't you mean "break a leg"? No, I mean "sprain" your ankle so you can skip the damn dance lesson and watch the most important B1G match this year. This is serious. They still be doing those dances after Wednesday. |

As a Husker fan I’d still have to pick UW but this should be a barn burner I quite agree, this will be a barn burner. However, I am apprehensive as to whose barn they are going to burn down. GBR (Nebraska Red) |

GBR (Nebraska Red) We have plenty of barns here. Even red barns. You can burn one down. In exchange for Sets 2, 3 and 4. |

I understand that these conference networks (B1G; Pac12; SEC; etc.) need to make money. But it's a real shame for the sport that this match - arguably the biggest match of the season so far - is not on a national network like ESPN or ESPNU even.
(And please, no replies with tutorials on ROKU or Sling. I have enough crap already and as much as I'd like to watch this, it's just not worth the extra effort/$$$ even if you do tell me how easy/economical it is.)

I got a guy whose cousin married a girl whose uncle has friend that works as a janitor for a network. Short story long, PM me on game day for a live free link to watch this game. |

In Conference only stats, Nebraska leads the conference in attack %. Nebraska and Wisconsin are tied in opponent attack percentage. Nebraska leads in assists, kills per set, and is leading by more than 2 digs per set over any other conference team. Nebraska also leads in having the fewest reception errors and is leading in service aces. Wisconsin leads in one statistic, blocking. Match-ups will be critical and neither team can afford to lose the serve pass battle by a significant margin. The biggest question for Nebraska is the who plays opposite Kubik who leads the BIG in kills per set. The biggest challenge for Wisconsin is how they defend the 3-5 split with Caffey and Krause. Both coaches prepare well, both teams have exceptional liberos although Nebraska is stronger in backcourt defense from zone 6-1. Both coaches are conservative and I wouldn't anticipate any surprises offensively. If Hames digss too many balls, Wisconsin wins. If Hilley digs plays close to the number of balls that Hames does, Nebraska wins. Conference stats are opponent dependent NE’s first half was largely played vs unranked teams Who will outperform? Who will stay most in system? Does NEB have the MB speed to put up a wall opposite Orzol? Will Loberg exceed? I look forward to a great battle but would not be surprised if one is swept by an off night vs an “A” game |
