Or fortunately...but wait! I thought NE fans really, really like their all-conference, all-american setter? At least that's what I got when I said her placement was...questionable, at best. idk what you’re talking about so take it up with whoever you’re attempting to make a passive aggressive comment with.. Please. Anytime anyone mentioned anything negative about lashes last three years, you corn cobs said she was an AA. |

That may or may not be true. But it has little if anything to do with "six in a row" vs Nebraska. What does an October 2019 match have to do with today? Regression to mean. The teams vary in performance over time, and I'd argue that the badgers were playing above their mean in 2019 and the first match of 2021 and the huskers were a bit below their typical level. Based on recent play I think they drifted back toward each other, for various reasons - injuries, form, etc. If the badgers were the 2000s Nittany Lions, I might have a different viewpoint, but there is no particular reason the badgers should continue to be so consistently better than the huskers forever, given injuries and recruiting. The badgers have been bleeding sets as well with their inconsistency within matches. I just don't see a 6th straight sweep based on that. Gambler’s fallacy |

Anytime anyone mentioned anything negative about lashes last three years, you corn cobs said she was an AA. I don’t know if you’ve been in the Nebraska threads recently. Some of her harshest critics are Husker fans. That being said I think she is an X factor with defense and leadership. But also if she goes after another first contact free ball I will scream lol. |

I hope she has a great match...and still loses. 
But her eyelashes still don't measure up to Shea Rubright's....  |

Nebraska has closed the talent gap that's existed between the two teams over the past couple of seasons. In 2019 and 2020, Wisconsin had clear advantages at setter, libero, and opposite and slight advantages elsewhere. This season, the Badgers still have a clear advantage at setter, but everywhere else is even. My guess is Wisconsin coughs up a set, but still wins in four. Winning a set from Wisky is something that the Huskers haven't done since 2018. So.....baby steps. The teams are even enough that if let's say Hilley has an off day, a Husker victory wouldn't be shocking. Unexpected yes, shocking no. Unfortunately it appears Big Red is staring at a third place finish in the conference. The Boilers are the hottest team in the conference so the chances of a victory in West Lafayette tomorrow are not likely. If you would have told me the Huskers would place third in the B1G after the Louisville match, I would have taken it. Now, being in first on the last weekend of conference play, a third place finish will be a disappointment. Bold prediction. Boilers just may be the hottest, but they haven't proven they can stay on top. Maybe they peaked last week or will peak this weekend. This conference can change on a dime, I just don't think it's gonna be Purdue that does it. |

Haven't seen any lineups but just tuned in to radio and the way JB talked it sounds like Whit is getting the start

Looking forward to a good B1G battle The Louisville Pitt match can be seen as a harbinger: Pitt had just a little less margin for error and were not able to overcome that margin. Here, NEB has a little less margin for error imo, the team that applies the most service pressure to limit the opponent's FBSO will have an advantage. I wish team passing stats were more readily available for fans of NCAA VB. The setter who has more multiple options is likely to be congratulating the loser at the end of the match for a good fight. If Demps has the kind of match she had vs. MN then the Badgers will be very hard to beat. can't like vbdiva2's analysis enough. volleytalk.proboards.com/user/26041/recentin general, B1G coaches tend to not be very creative. The upper echelon teams don't need fancy to do well. Then tourney time comes and mostly vanilla is too often not quite enough. An odd thing to say about the B1G. They've had at least one team in the final four in the last 13 years, have 8 nattys in the last 13, and were represented by 2 teams in the final four in 7 of those 13 years. As opposed to the SEC which won their first national championship last year or the ACC which has had as many final four reps as University of Texas at Arlington which would be a total of one. |

You gotta wonder how Nebraska has 3 of the top 5 recruits in the country last year and can't get any of them on the floor.
