Some survivor bias going on every time someone says that. It was a gritty Wisconsin performance. Down in each set and came back. Was UK less gritty? I wouldn't claim that. But you absolutely want your athletes believing that they won because of their grittiness, and if Robinson believes it, why wouldn't she say it in an interview? Take it with a grain of salt. I do. That's why I said it's true every time an athlete says it. "We just wanted it more." Oftentimes when the outcome is based on RNJesus. It's a validation of effort, but it's not necessarily true. It's simply that the outcome backs up the preconceived belief. But for sure you want your team feeling exactly like that. You want them feeling as confident, invulnerable, and a team of destiny so to speak as much as possible. Way more productive in terms of producing desired results than thinking the opposite. But I do take it with a grain of salt, for sure. |

From Sheff's postgame: ...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... What's the story there? |

GG’s second contact sets are just amazing. A big reason why the badgers swept. And her serving. 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. twas me |

To be fair, Wisconsin didn’t come back in set 1. They almost lost after having a huge lead, actually. |

Just watched set 3, was impressed with the late Badger run. Robinson looked very fired up.

Kentucky just simply struggles in serve recurve and to get in system. Beavin and Walker can pass but Lamb, Rollins and Rutherford all struggle in serve receive. I’m confused on why Skinner won’t DS Rollins the entire back row. She doesn’t get set in the backrow, struggles in serve recurve, and is not an elite defender. I would take my chances with Whitworth or Berezowitz at this point.
When Kentucky can get a great pass and run the entire offense, they are very good. When they do not, it forces a subpar set to the outside in which the entire frontline of the other team knows what they are doing.
Interesting Skinner said they didn’t practice well all week..

Interesting Skinner said they didn’t practice well all week.. they've definitely had early troubles. there isnt a great DS option behind walker, Rutherford needs to tay in the be aviulble to of the backrow, I don't think either of the next two options at DS are much better than Rollins, maybe skinner wants to try to get her settles into a rhythm ? im not sure but this team is one good ds away from being able to compete with the best. its hard to pass two in serve receive for the rotation that they do but pulling Rollins in to pass 6 rotations is also a tough choice to make. where is Lauren Tharp when u need her |

Lol she had the chance to come back for her COVID year.. also it’s hard to tell on a lot of plays but how much of the hitting miscues are due to the setting? Who do you blame more the passing or the setting? Grome doesn’t have a lot to work with most of the time with the passes in my opinion

Who do you blame more the passing or the setting? Grome doesn’t have a lot to work with most of the time with the passes in my opinion its a mic of both. Grome is not currently as good as she was at the peak of her play her freshman season which is disappointing because she looked so good in the spring matches. the passing is also not as good so that doesn't help her, if both passing and grime can make improvements they will be in serious contention to take down Louisville or Nebraska. if not, this is a team I would be worried about if I was a higher seed, if Kentucky gets a low seed, they have the talent to compete with anyone and if they are firing on all cylinders they could cause some big trouble for a top 4 seed. Grome, tealer, Rutherford, Beavin, walker, Rollins and goetzinger are fully capable of playing with the best of the best in the NCAA and they have shown that. if they can fill the holes this would be a team I would not happy about getting in my regional |

To be fair, Wisconsin didn’t come back in set 1. They almost lost after having a huge lead, actually. Weren't they down early? I suppose that doesn't count, though. But I think even though I mangled a fact, my point actually is reinforced that Wisconsin earned the right to feel that they played grittily. They won both sides of the comeback matchup. That being said, if they play a best of 7 Kentucky would make a respectable showing and it's not unreasonable to think could win the series. Certainly, at no point during the first two sets did I feel like Wisconsin was playing significantly better. |
