well that's the reason why I stated things Stanford did well that didn't have to with Minnesota playing poorly. stanford served the ball in this match much more often than they usually do. they also passed dimes the whole match, another thing they have not done much of this year.oglivie and baird both dug a lot of balls that they usually don't dig. im not saying stanford is some amazing team now bc they beat Minnesota, but serve and serve receive can still be fairly measured even if Minnesota played bad. im not even talking ab Minnesota passing poorly either, just the simple fact that Stanford consistently served the ball in, played good defense and passed well, which have been their 3 biggest issues, is a big improvement for them Minnesota down balls and free balls a high percentage of balls and you call it a good digging day? A good defensive day is when other team in system 60% and you block and dig your way to success. Not when they are having their worst day of year attacking. The Minny thread is all about there inadequacy that night: serve and serve: you exceeded you ace per set numbers significantly:but you had same number of kills per set as about your average: 13.5k/s same as yearly average: thats not an improvement on previoys matches this year : you have led your opponents for year on missed serves: but an excellent SO% takes care of missed serves and allows for more risk when serving, “never the less” looking forward to their match up this werk im obviuosly not talking about the free balls and roll shots. i think you're taking what im saying a lot farther than people should be. anyone who has watched stanford this year would agree that they dug balls (that were attacked at full speed) that they usually don't dig. their floor defense was the best its been all year even if u take away all the easy balls. if anyone is trying to deny that, im just going to assume they may not have watched stanford more than once this year |

Now ask yourself, will Nebraska's passing be closer to Texas' or Minny's? IMO, it's going to be the former. If Stanford passes like they did against the Gophers, then they can be competitive, but ultimately RED's floor D and transition game probably will rule the day. Maybe Stanford has a bit of an edge in the setting department, since RED has gone full 6-2. If I'm wrong about the Huskers passing, that could make their attack very predictable and allow for many easy OOS blocks and block touches for the Card. |

No, I was appreciating somebody talking about the Stanford:Texas vs. Stanford:Minnesota bickering in a way that made it actually relevant to the Stanford:Nebraska matchup. |

If NE passes like they did against Long Beach, I don't see Stanford having too much of a chance.
