This might be way out there, but at least while Smrek is out, would they over run Franklin as a right side and put Demps or Wrobel in as a left? Franklin’s game has been solid since Florida and she’s passing and hitting well, but she’s also a couple inches taller and had at least one noticeable block on the right side before they switched during the Illinois match. Demps has some intangibles that have brought out some solid play from her (Marquette, Florida) where she’s got a decent serve and can hit a variety of shots, but doesn’t pose as much of a threat as a blocker. Not sure if they’d go that route at least til Smrek can come back in. It might be something we see. I think Demps is better on the left as an attacker as well. But if the offense is forced to go through the left on OOS balls, how much does UW lose by having Demps instead of Franklin there for 3 rotations? Would be interesting to find out. Very true, that is a big part of Franklin’s game obviously. But as we saw later last year one of the best parts of Jade’s game is backrow attacking. She was huge in the tourney last year (granted it helps when you have Rettke pulling blockers every time). If sub limit rules weren’t a thing, I’d wonder how we’d do with Smrek back at right while we run a 6-2 and Demps coming in for Franklin in the back row. |

I don't think they are going to go to passing with 2 given how ricketty the passing has been. They will stay with 3 passers in all rotations, and Franklin is one of those three, and often the second best passer. Their hoping at some point they get a little more cohesion among those three. |

Agree that passing is where they are going to want the lineup to be the most consistent. It's pretty clear that the coaches thing that Franklin and Orzol are the two best passers of the pin hitters. To be honest, I think they've been better than a lot of people thing, but on the flip side the coaches feel like they're grading the passers on a rather pleasant curve. Part of the problem is that the setters seem to need a perfect pass in order to effectively set middle. |

Obviously, passing stats are something to which most of us have access, but I would recommend people go check the team stats that are kept officially at the Big Ten site. Yes, the Badgers have issues, yes they are inconsistent, but they have pretty big differentials versus opponent stats in pretty much every category but digs and stack up pretty well versus most other league teams in that regard. The schedule is not bad either, as they have only played 3 teams that probably won't make the NCAA Tournament.

Made more sense in 2020-2021 and if you saw the movie (I think? because I didn’t. But I’ve seen movies like it!) It also kind of makes sense in this year when no one is clearly top. Also, it’s mean girls day, apparently. That’s the movie it’s from (I think, because I have never seen it). |

I saw the IG post earlier, and was going to comment about what exactly the chaos of the B1G Championship of 2020 the post refers to? Didn’t we go undefeated? |

Part of the problem is that the setters seem to need a perfect pass in order to effectively set middle. The only curve that should be used for grading passers is adjusting for that setters, in that if you have a great setter (Carlini or Hilley) you can give the passers a better score because the setters can still keep it in system. If anything we need to grade our passers on a harsher scale this year. |

And we didn't have many matches against rivals. So, it wasn't really a full season. It was a tip of the hat to that. |

Anyone know when we will find out what time the match vs Minnesota on 10/29 will be? I assume it has to do with kickoff times of B1G football games, and the TV scheduling of them. At the moment, there are five football games that day, and only one has a kickoff time set (Northwestern at Iowa, 3:30 ET, no TV yet set). In particular, Minnesota plays at Rutgers; that's the 'quality' of game that usually ends up on BTN; Wisconsin has a bye that week. Ohio State at Penn State that week is the kind of game that would end up on network TV in prime time, but if for some reason, the networks don't take it, BTN would *love* to have that on prime time. And then VB gets moved. |

I managed to watch the entire Illinois replay.
Badgers passed a 2.17 by my count, I will not adjust for Terry on Illinois being an awesome server because that is just dumb. You would have to grade on the most generous curve to get anywhere close to a 2.6:
Franklin: 2.04 on 47 attempts which isn't bad for being heavily targeted
Orzol: 2.16 on 19
GG: 2.53 on 17, great game by her
Hart: 2.33 (just thought I'd include her 3 attempts lol)
Also tracked our freeball offense:
Franklin: 1/2 with 1 E
Orzol: 0/2
Hart: 2/6 (not counted are her overpass kills, these are only attempts generated by our freeball offense).
CC: 2/6
Robinson: 4/4 beast
Demps: 1/2
I wish I had paid more attention to defense today as Izzy was a major difference maker. Her best game on defense by far.

That's some serious charting, nice job!
