How painful it would be to be paid to try to make this match sound like it was entertaining. What are y’all on?? it definitely wasn’t either teams best match but that doesn’t mean a 5 setter between two top ten teams is not even entertaining I think it comes down to whether you watch volleyball to be surprised by what happens next, or if you watch it to see "technique perfected"? It's interesting to watch a back-and-forth match for sure, but it isn't entertaining when it's obvious how out of form and technically unsound the play is. I guess it just depends on what you look for! |

meh, I don’t think so. The way Nebraska has played up to this point in the Big Ten season (including the Wisconsin match) I would’ve thought Nebraska would win 70% of the time. Normally, Nebraska would have the advantage in serve receive and defense but idk wtf happened tonight 🤷🏻♂️ Nebraska beat up on cupcakes for the most part in the first half of big10 play and fooled everyone into thinking they're a much better team than they actually are. 2 home losses (one being a sweep) in which they played very poorly seem to show that they're still ridiculously inconsistent and not a true national championship threat imo I wouldn’t go THAT far. I do think that Nebraska had an *extremely* easy opening conference slate and that they definitely were overrated because they were beating the weaker teams and now have been exposed by 2 of the better big ten teams but I certainly still think they are in the NC conversation. Not a favorite by any means but a contender nonetheless |

Because it’s the sporting thing to do, I’ll congratulate Minnesota for doing what they needed. That was the worst played match by two good teams I think I’ve ever seen in my life. Audrey was trying to be polite which I respect but she was essentially saying “these two teams are playing awful”

Audrey was trying to be polite which I respect but she was essentially saying “these two teams are playing awful” Audrey was actually hilarious. You could tell she was trying so hard not to just say they were both playing horribly hahaha. She kept finding new ways to compliment the teams. It was pretty great |

Not a true threat, just lucky those three times. Also I wasn’t aware we had another big ten home loss |

Kubik and Weenas earned their pay tonight. Weenas had 59 attempts and 44 receptions. Madi had 66 attempts and 58 receptions.

Another team succumbs to the the Road-Trip-Of-Death. Sorry Nebraska, you are good, but WI + MN is the toughest back-to-back pair in the conference.

They have now gone 5 with iowa, Rutgers AND northwestern |
