I guess that's why so many matches of theirs go into extra points and extra sets even with their insane offense. the fact that they are 20-0 with wins over GT, Pitt, Purdue, Kentucky, and Nebraska is insane with that passing lol. Debeer is a queen I full on admit that after watching her at Assumption a few times, I felt she was overrated. Not no more. I eat those words. |

Shondell needs to pick a starter and bench the other two IMO. When you're platooning and you feel like you're constantly going to get pulled for making a mistake, you're not going to to progress. He's holding them all back by using this strategy. Obviously pull them if they're playing awfully, but I don't understand how you can expect someone to gain confidence. Reminds me of Nebraska pre-season. The team has gotten SO much better, because Cook committed to a lineup once the B1G started and told the team he planned to do so. Reminds me of Oregon WBB last year. INSANE talent on that team, but they never gelled because the coach wanted to play all 14 players instead of committing to a consistent 8-9 player rotation. I think the tactic was smart pre-COVID. Get them all playing time, make sure they felt like they were needed and making an impact, prepare them to slot into Newton's spot when she graduated. Then the 5th year thing became available and it's proven very ineffective for them. I do agree -- the investment needs to happen. They each have a unique skillset but one needs to be given a hefty amount of playing time to develop their weaknesses and stop playing so tentatively. I don't think it's like Nebraska. They have an exceptionally talented class and are outplaying vets. Purdue doesn't have that, even when Ellis, Koch, and Chinn were freshmen. Yep, I think Purdue fits the bill of a team that COVID honestly hurt. Hornung at L this year and developing the OH's would've been a rebuilding year but rebuilding toward a potentially phenomenal 2022 team, instead of a pretty good 2021 and 2022 team. |

Imagine living in Indiana and being confused by the name "Leilani".

Just 1:17 needed to dispatch NU, that was quick!

Yeah, I was shocked at the short match.
