Sheff please rewatch this video. Smrek can do well with Robinson. "...with Robinson" was when Robinson was playing middle, Hilley was setting and Barnes and Gio were passing. Robinson isn't playing middle, Hilley isn't setting, and Barnes and Gio aren't passing.
Robinson can play middle, but this will make CC very unhappy. if Izzy could set Hart, I don't see why she couldn't set Smrek. And you sound like we never had good passes.

Just pointing out that it ain't 2021 anymore. What worked last year won't necessarily work this year. |

What is the hesitation of a little twist and a test drive? It is not like what we have now is working flawlessly.

Well, you can ask Sheffield, but my guess is he wouldn't think benching Crawford and switching Robinson back to MB as being a "little twist". (And even if you do that, it still won't be Hilley setting, and it still won't be Barnes and Gio passing.) |

It will work out guys. But it's going to take a few reps. We are going to see some inconsistency and some losses until we get there.
Gophers played lights out on Sunday BTW. You have to give them some credit. I haven't seen them control the ball like that in transition in years.
Badgers will have to deal with that every week until they can depend on all of their weapons.

Sheffield's presser. He always makes some claims that surprise me in retrospect.

Like “we outpassed them by a mile”? I guess that could technically be true, as their OH’s bailed them out from some bad passing a LOT. I’m not sure I’d say our passing was great though.

If our passing was great that makes me feel even worse. The setters sure didn' take advantage of our 'great' passing 🤔 |

We definitely didn't take advantage of a lot of opportunities. That's been a story for a while.

And the worst is when you get embarrassed with a block when you had a free ball opportunity. Or just sailing it 6 ft long. |

They've won three B1G championships in a row, been to three final fours is a row, and won the fricking national championship! I think their "practice systematic approach" is probably OK. |

that .356% that Minnesota hit last night says something a little more different about Wisconsin "outpassing them by a mile"
meanwhile you had landfair hitting near .400 and Wucherer at .333
I want to see where the outpassing happened....

They were really effective at transition and OOS. It was a bit scary. Brought back an old problem that the badgers used to have defending attacks from big arms swinging off the net - Barber, Pressley, Bajema. They figured that out the last few years, but it used to be a big problem. That said, Sheffs comments surprised me. I thought they passed a bit better than the badgers did by eye. I was frustrated that the badgers serve didn't have enough effect, largely because there were too many SEs. |

I understand that we graded better in passing stats, than Minn. But I don’t buy the over-generous characterization by KS. The numbers appear to be close on the surface. To your point however, their hitters really had a banner day against the Badgers. Even in the face of what I felt was a consistently big blocking presence by the Badgers at the net, the Gophers managed to hit over, through and around to terminate. I’m convinced that the Gophers ability to neutralize the Badger block really was the difference in the match. It was too obvious. (The nagging service errors didn’t help the Badgers either.) It was also incredible for me to watch Minn convert and side out on so many OOS balls, which were numerous. I actually think the Badgers did a good job of keeping Shaffmaster off the net. That was obvious to me too. But Wucherer and Landfair had some unicorn power working for them in this match, as it didn’t seem to matter what kind of second ball was being put up for them. They got good swings. Indeed, Shaffmaster came out looking like AA material by some, when in my view, she remains just an average B1G setter even in this match. Again, well deserved credit to the Gopher pins for distinguishing themselves in this match, and carrying the team to a big win. |
