GG’s second contact sets are just amazing. A big reason why the badgers swept. And her serving. Did you know she never served before this year? 😂 |

Robinson postmatch (who boots Sheff off the post match interview)
They just wanted it more
Really hard to score
Key is to stay mentally tough
Was a really fun game, two really good teams.
Loved the challenge.
Sheff
Serve pass game was pretty good from the get go. Had them out of system a lot, led to blocks.
Serve was very good, in location in particular. They haven't been that good at it. Spent a lot of time in practice. Went with the float because of Beavin. Liz Gregorski did a great job.
Early on had a really hard time locating sets. Weren't getting good swings Got better as the match went on
MJ had a really rough time physically this morning - didn't do practice. Was first time in gym. Izzy was forcing it early. But got better.
Had a terrible time blocking Rutherford and Tealer. Figured out Tealer in the second, but Rutherfod as a lefty was harder. They don't see lefties in their gym.
They found other ways to win when other some things weren't working. Sheffield got on them pretty early. Took it as a positive that they stayed gritty and figured out a way.

I forget who or I'd credit them, but when her coming to UW was announced, I asked about her second touch bump set, and one of the people here who watch lots of European matches said it was maybe the best part of her game. |

"They just wanted it more"
Sure, because a former national champ doesn't want to beat the reigning one.
I know, it's just athlete speak.

Surprised at the sweep for sure. Kentucky too many hitting errors and too many service errors. First two sets were anybody's to grab. Robinson looks like she on a mission out there.

Brutal game for Walker imo. I've accepted our pins are never going to pass well, but she has to play better.

Rollins has struggled with the Badger Block the last few years regardless of where she was playing…..don’t see that changing, so Bucky in 3 maybe 4. you never know she could drop a quick 28 while hitting 400 again. Or eek out 9 on .103….. She did lead the team in attempts so😉 Claiming an “I called it” on this one. |

FWIW...PSU just finished off #11 Stanford in a 5 set battle, in Minnesota's Gym.

damn Kentucky fans how yall feeling? i really thought they were going to win this did not expect a sweep Probably feeling salty that Wisconsin got more "come on!" (fan reaction to a play that shouldn't score but does in some broken way) points in a very close match. It happened. Credit to the Badgers for the big win, but they did get more bounces, I think. |

Isn't Hart like 30 years old? That said, I don't know why but I seriously dislike Adanna Rollins. Isn't this her third team to try to make a name for herself? Hart is a 6th year. Like Caffey was last year. Counterpoint re: Rollins - She’s been looking for a place that works for her. It seems like she’s found it in Lexington. |

Did Wisconsin run a 6-2 again?
