With Kubik’s steadiness and Lauenstein’s improvement, I thought we were on our way to getting 4 good pins but so far…Krause has regressed from last year and Batenhorst didn’t look a whole lot better before her injury. So not only is our setting unreliable, our middles are underutilized and our pins are not sufficiently terminal. Too many of our roll shots are giving the opponents extra chances to kill us. Sadly, our #1 recruiting class has been underwhelming.

Evans looked better than Orr tonight. Yikes.
Miner looked incredible compared to what was happening with the setters on the Nebraska side of the net. Hopefully Hames is OK, otherwise I predict a rough game upcoming against Kentucky.

We respectfully need to figure it the fuq out!!! I'm not dealing with another regular season like last year, was too annoying playing chess all year with the lineups. You'd think going on year 2 with the same main players it would've been handled by now. Cook needs to figure it out. Setting situation has been hideous the last two seasons. Let Kennedi go if you're not gonna play her, that situation is getting a little ridiculous. She can go to Texas, etc. and develop better there and we can roll with relying on Reilly all 4 of her years. A Hames 5-1 is obviously the answer now but 5 straight years in a row with the same mid setter is !!!!###$$$!!!ing ridiculous. Sorry I'm just a little heated tonight! Lets show everyone we belong and sweep Kentucky Sunday.

Lets show everyone we belong and sweep Kentucky Sunday. hames is a very solid setter in her own right, its mostly just her size. she had some location struggles in her first 3 years or so but showed tremendous improvement last year. there's a reason she's played in two national championships and barely lost in the 5th set both times while running a 5-1, and its because she's good. she's not on the level that carlini, pouter, sss, Lilley, hilley, hunter, and many others as a pure setter, but she does a good job of putting up hittable balls, is one of the best bump setter in the country, and is a player who consistently betters the ball

Hames has been a very solid setter for Nebraska. No, she's not Carlini or Poulter, but you can find plenty of matches of SSS, Lilley, in particular Hilley, and Hunter where they have been inconsistent in their play and location and even their own fans on volleytalk have complained. Hames has had inconsistent matches just like some of the setters mentioned here, but overall she's high quality, and is easily one of the best zone 1 defenders among this setting group. If anything, Nebraska just hasn't had the big time elite pin hitters like some of these other programs have had to bail them out and make the setters job easier. Since Foecke, who could swing at anything (and she got a myriad of different sets throughout her career), the closest thing Nebraska has had is Kubik, and she's been rather up and down.

I've been as critical of Hames as anybody on this board. But the reality is she's a great defender, a great leader, and a good setter. And has been to the finals twice. When talking about Nebraska setting the other thing to remember was that Hunter in her senior season (2017), was on Nebraska's best passing team, at least in recent memory. Don't know if the stats will back me up on that, but the eye test certainly did. Townsend, Albrecht, and Maloney passed dimes consistently, particularly in the Final Four. Nebraska doesn't have passing approaching that level in the current group.

JC grumpy delivery and shade thrown coach! Dont tell me honest! You can deliver bad news and inspire: take some heat yourself! WTH you have no idea what happened to your setter! She’s given you her life effort for 5 years and the best you can do is say “idont know she was cryin’ and missin’ sers and couldnt go? I was busy figuren out line ups and what to do!! You dont have plans for that!!! You havent coached long enough to adjust and adopt while also showing concern for an injured player!! This was beyond poor! And whst about you JC : where’s your responsibility in all this?? They they they: i dont remember one me me me ! We told them run more middle but they went away from it? Wth?? You dont practice game plan setting?? If they dont set the scheme we have a training problem with the coaching staff! I watch WKU run there scheme: why cant you run yours?? And his daughter on radio shades away with dad!

I will be shocked if cook sticks with the 6-2. At first I was excited about the 6-2 but last night I noticed so many moving parts and thought it was difficult for Nebraska to have steady momentum.

Oh geez, your people are as dramatic as the Kardashians on fashion week. It’s the first of the season, and Stanford played incredible. Let’s not overdramatize everything into the sky is falling in Henny Penny‘s ready to commit suicide. John Cook always figures it out, year after year you people bitch and complain and year after year he has a team ready for the tournament. They have some things to figure out just like they did last year.

It’s sad and frustrating that a 5th year senior still can’t consistently set Hord, a 3-time All-American.

Everyone acts like the world is coming to an end. Nebraska will be just fine at the end of the season. If Hames is truly hurt I see us riding out a 5-1 with Orr the rest of the season. Krause has just been very slow to start these last few games. It seems when our back is against the wall she starts making more of the right hits compared to when we just out there playing. Coach needs to get her to play smart from the get go and forget about the 10ft line banger balls. Being at the game last night you could tell Knuckles was in her head with the serving and pass receiving just by the look on her face.
Last night was just an all around sloppy game for both sides if you ask me. The serve and hit errors was crazy. No one could hardly get any momentum going because of it.
On the positive note when the Huskers had it going. It was crazy crazy loud in there. My ears were going nuts.
I know a loss sucks but I still enjoy watching them. They deff have the potential to be very good when we go back to a 5-1. And I cant say it loud enough give Hayden Kubik her shot one time like everyone else. I like her.

It’s hard to be consistent when you’re yanked in and out of the game.
