It hadn't occurred to me until just now to look at the stats. I knew pretty much everyone of our attackers was on target as the match was being played. So, I assumed it was a match were some of the posters weren't begging for Elliott to yank a starter in favor of someone else.  Asjia .643 Madi .407 Logan .341 Molly .313 Kayla .000 texassports.com/sports/womens-volleyball/stats/2022/-4-louisville/boxscore/15299I am not a technical of the stats, just enjoy watching but during the game I did not notice Kayla being involved or making many plays. These stats seem to confirm my casual observations?? After Bella had shown up large in the last 3 games it was surprising she didn't play at all. |

anyone at the tower lighting? I went to the photo shoot. The tower top was already lit to acknowledge the men and women's basketball teams winning today. And then, you notice that the "1" is lit visible on the tower. The whole tower is not bathed in burnt orange (at the time), but the bottom has the orange glow of lights.
First saw some of the assistant coaches. Then Jerritt and his wife showed up. Then the team showed up together with Singletary carrying the trophy like a baby. I have a picture of Asjia talking to Singletary and caressing the base of the trophy like she's still in awe.
The girls spread out and signed lots of balls and t-shirts for fans of all ages. There was a slightly awkward exchange between Baby Spice and a fan. It went something like this:
Fan: Congrats on your victory Halter: Thank you! Fan: So what are your plans to follow up? Halter: Ummm, excuse me? Fan: I mean you won the national championship in your freshman year. That's pretty amazing. What can you to top that? Halter: Uhhhh, yeah...I mean yeah I don't know
And next to her was Kenna Miller who kinda muttered under her breath, "It's still a bit unbelievable"
I would post the pictures here, but it's all pretty standard of these players we've seen closeup on TV.
Anyway, it was cold and getting colder while the photographer was getting them lined up so my son (in shorts) and I were leaving to go home. There was a crowd about 10 deep and there was no way we could take pictures over their heads. Anyway the professional picture will drop on social media about 30 minutes after the photos are taken.
But as we pulled up, two tour buses showed up and it was the Men's basketball team there to support them.
Thanks for the great report.. These are students and it give me 'warm fuzzies' to hear/see the other athletes supporting. Coaches were involved to have buses for them. Love hearing this |

Enjoy the last 4 points to a championship! I'm pretty sure I've rewound my DVR copy and watched the last 4 points like 10 times since Saturday. And hopefully, LHN has enough staff left to put together a 30 minute show on this year's championship season like they did for 2012....which took a year or two for them to get around to it. |

This might be my most favorite post-match interview of them all! This is really an open ended question, not expecting an answer. But several times when the story about how she wouldn't even visit Austin is told and how once she came here everything was turned around. She quotes how all the support was there that she didn't realize, I always want to know what that was. What I mean was, what at Kentucky or other potential schools was missing that Texas offered that wowed her? Mental health support? Academic support? What was the difference maker that UT offered that she didn't realize they would? |

I too was wondering at parts of the game when JE was going to bring in Bella. But after the game, when I looked at the stats I saw that Kayla had the most blocks on the team at 4! She usually gets pulled for not being effective on blocks or hitting poorly. Yes, she hit 0.000 with 1 kill, but I think the momentum of the game kept her in it. And it was enough. |

Enjoy the last 4 points to a championship! A question: Was Aiko Jones really in the net during one of those points. I rewound it once on my DVR trying to find the net contact and I couldn't quite see it. I didn't see any blowups on the game thread protesting that call, so I assumed my old eyes just can't see it. |

Even if they didn't show the net, Aiko would've protested hard if she's convinced she didn't net. Plus, DBK had a challenge left. Any coach would take a challenge at that very critical point plus it will slow down their momentum. |

I never knew this either. |
