I will be at the Fieldhouse for this one.
With Lund back doing Lund things Pitt confidence is at an all time high.
I think Pitt takes this in 3

I think Kansas had a very nice weekend of play but not sure they’ll sustain that- Pitt in 3 or 4 here especially with Lund back and playing so well

Go Pitt!
I do hope Kansas can either win a Cinderella set or play some deuce sets. They’ve got some exciting underclassmen, but Pitt’s experience should prevail.

Not many people are giving Kansas a chance, as a fan, i’ll be surprised if they win. But they surprised me against Oregon and Creighton too lol. The underclassmen have starred for Kansas as Bien, Turner, and Crawford have led the way. However, the senior vets have kept them steady. Langs, Mosser, and Farris have been steady as ever. Even at RS (Davis and Szabo) and DS (Schultz and Angello) you’ve seen young players get opportunities and vets coming in and taking the load off when the moment gets too big.
But they’re going up against a Pitt team that has veterans in every single spot. Fairbanks is young, but the rest of this Pitt team is battle tested. I hope this Kansas team comes out and plays free because no one expects them to be here. This whole game will be about momentum. If Pitt comes out early and win the first set by 5+ points, Kansas will have no chance. However, If Kansas comes out and throws the first punch, things will get real interesting. Pitt is supposed to win this won at home, ton of seniors, “easy” draw. The longer Kansas is in the match, the more doubt will creep into Pitt’s minds.
I think Kansas finally has momentum again as a program. There’s been times in the past years where everything was a bit murky for Kansas. Some people think, that last weekend was just a fluke, but its been building. Remember, Turner started the year as Kansas’ THIRD setter. She didn’t become the full time setter until November. Kansas then had those TWO WEEKS off and they haven’t lost since. I don’t think that’s coincidence.
This game will come down to how well Kansas passes. Oregon and Creighton both relied heavily on one hitter. Nuneviller and Sis both had by far the most attempts on their teams. With Pitt, the attacks are coming from all over Lund, LMM, Gray, Ndee, each one could have a big game and it wouldn’t surprise. Kansas’ defense will have to be sharp. I can’t wait until Thursday because im excited to see them compete.

Kansas has been playing well but creighton was down arguably their best player- maybe they still win with her in- but a Pitt sweep here wouldn’t be surprising because of how balanced they are.

Pitt may not sweep but they will win and it won't be particularly close

Kansas knocks off a set, but Pitt overcomes in a mini-reverse sweep lite.
