If this plays out anything like last night‘a match, ESPN is never showing volleyball on the main channels again. It’s curtains pls don’t be a flop Kentucky

super excited for this one I think it's a fun style contrast: Kentucky with their offensive efficiency vs Louisville's block and defense (not saying that either team is bad at the other skills btw, just what I feel like they're known for) UK is bad at passing. We can say it. true but even with that bad passing Kentucky is still hitting .346, and I feel like historically they are known for efficiency anyways which is what I was getting at

UK's bread and butter is serve/pass, and a fast offense. They got the latter (and service pressure, in my non-VM eyes, has been good). But this is a uniquely bad passing team. Fortunately, Rebo, Lamb and Rollins all seem to be pretty good OOS, when Grome isn't setting them at the armpits

I was trying to stay reasonable 😭 What are your thoughts on Louisville's serving they have some really really tough servers and they don’t make many errors. It’s like one of their biggest strengths imo. Jones in particular has a really really tough Float that could ruin us if it’s matched up against one of our more vulnerable (Walker not in) rotations.

She has to have a pretty big edge over the Louisville LS block I’ll sign up for some Rebo ball but also Id live for Goetzinger ball who is quietly one of the best offensive middles in the country and is criminally underrated

Like legit I almost rather have this stretch on the road… instead of all at home It does feel like they press sometimes, you almost get the sense they don't wanna disappoint the home crowd. Hoping they worked past that feeling Friday and we play a little more loose today. Craig said yesterday they've had a much better week of practice so far compared to last week so let's hope that translates to these next two games.
