Marquette rolls Butler in set 1.... but drops set 2. I jinxed them lol And then come back and win 25-8 in set three, sheeeesh. Marquette is a wagon this year, especially if Vanden Berg can come back this year. |

Creighton sweeps GT 3-0 Sis: 11k (.346) Martin: 10k (.533) Schmitt: 9k (.667) Creighton hit .374 as a team. I was impressed by Georgetown's new coach. He had his team playing with a lot of energy and celebrating every point no matter what the score was. That'd be great if it were a cheerleading competition. Would sure love to know what's impressive about him. The fake cheering between lost point after lost point is fake. Those players look lost from what i saw, unprepared. and that's not on the players. It isn't just against powerhouse creighton, either. A look at their weak schedule and you can see they've lost to teams this season that a good high school team or club team could beat. I've seen them twice in person and Georgetown seems to have talent and height on the roster, but they are flailing. Villanova is struggling, but you know their coach will turn them around. St. John's is struggling, but you know they'll turn it around. Even Providence beats bad teams when they should beat them. The georgetown players are likely smiling and high fiving on the outside and crying on the inside. A strategic and experienced coaching staff would make a huge difference. Georgetown is doing the Big East NO favors and you can bet Marquette, Creighton and others on the bubble are not happy about it. |

Yeahhhh Georgetown is a school that has name recognition from coast to coast. It’s really inexcusable to be losing to teams like New Orleans and Rider. |

At least one and maybe both the Wilhite sisters were prep volleyball senior aces. You would think they would have more success than they’ve had. I believe this coach has been here 3 or 4 years so i could see change coming if there is no improvement by end of year. |

New here, and wasn't quite sure. If you're serious, smh. I do wish more Big East teams wanted to compete at the national level in volleyball, but the fact is today, only Marquette and Creighton want to. A couple more teams in an 11 team conference would make it a very decent/above average volleyball conference, consistently in the top 8, if not a the 6th (like basketball). For the record, FigStats has Big East at 9th currently. I know everyone here loves Pablo, but I'm not as familiar, and I'm not going to pay for any features. |

Georgetown has a national reputation academically. I agree with this and that they do have a nationally recognizable brand. I vehemently disagree this somehow means that they're invested in every sport they field. In regards to volleyball specifically, I don't think they're invested very much at all. But I thought n00b might have been sarcastic in their comment, at least I hope so. (Sarcasm transfers so poorly to the written word if you're not speaking to an audience that knows you, which is also why I mentioned I was new here, I was looking for help understanding the comment). |

I wasn’t being sarcastic. I’m not saying they should be Top 50. I’m saying they are basically an Ivy League school with scholarships (even if it isn’t 12). I’ve been to Georgetown, Rider and New Orleans’s campuses. I emphatically believe that even if Georgetown had zero scholarships (like an Ivy), they should be better than fully funded Rider or New Orleans. The fact they they are worse than those teams despite having scholarships is a problem. |

How many years' experience do their coaches have in coaching women's D1 volleyball? That might be a huge part of the problem. UConn was turned around on a dime. Seton Hall, turned around on a dime. When effort is put into the process by the administration, you have much better chance to get good results.

Creighton is handling Xavier easily, and should be able to beat everyone in the BE not named Marquette without ever having to put up a block.
Which is kind of impressive, I guess.
The BE has unbalanced schedules this year. Not sure what went into the thinking of having Creighton face Xavier and Butler only once. Xavier, at least, is an RPI-builder. Instead, the powers that be would rather have Creighton face RPI-killers Georgetown and Villanova twice.
After non-conference, Creighton's SOS was #16 nationally. Two matches later, against Georgetown and Villanova, Creighton's SOS had plummeted to #76(!)
