Two good sets in a row from MJ So we're now counting good sets by MJ, not the mistakes. That's not good.

Shanel with a couple mistakes in a row. Yeah her inexperience there showing Reading through long after the match is over and everyone has gone home, but I can't let this one pass: Inexperience?!? She was an All-Conference libero at Baylor! SMH...

SMH... In match this season you are right but she was cleared to play and they have stuck with GG so I mean she hasn’t played back there a ton in the B1G was what I was suggesting but you can take this one. I know she’s not terrible and looked steady back there tonight.

I thought Shanel did well in all phases - interestingly enough though - no assists

Speaking of fabulous, the Demps ‘fro! Love it. This may be an old person comment/recollection (and I'm always a little hesitant to comment on players' appearance) but... Back in my 1960s childhood, I can remember seeing Aretha Franklin from time to time on different TV variety/music shows. And remember that if I hadn't seen her in a while, I'd find myself thinking "who is that? Oh, that's Aretha?! She looks completely different." Because her hair (and sorry, sometimes her weight) would be very, very different from the last time I'd seen her. Demps over the past couple years has reminded me of that memory of Aretha. I've gotten more used to the complete changes in hair lately, but the first couple times watching the team come out on the floor, seeing her and thinking "wait... who is that?"

So is it an unwritten rule Orzol never comes out? her last seven sets have been horrible. She needs to be taken out! Give Demps or Wrobel a shot?
Again Sheffield has questionable game time coaching decisions.
With Orzol passing poorly and hitting negative in Nebraska match and in the low 100’s last night, and another so-so performance from Franklin, somehow Badgers keep winning.
Instead of having Orzol play ping pong off the block and swinging 50 balls per match, maybe give her a rest, and have her arm alive iand ready in December.
Wow Hammel sets are atrocious— zero connection. Keep Anna in the f’ing middle!
Robinson saves this team!

SMH... Did Baylor play in s 6-2 as well? Did Shenal have extensive libero action previously with this current group in a game that counts in the standings? You are overanalyzing again.

Loberg is so much better then Emily Ehman as a game analyst. Gotta smooth out her delivery a bit. A couple times she could have been more efficient with word choices.
But Ehman is super annoying and Grace does a better job reading and explaining the game.

Orzol played solidly in the back row, had a great night serving, and you can attribute some of her struggles to the volatile performance of Hammill. As much as I love Demps I think she would have been ineffective against Booth and Co with significant time. Would like to see them give Wrobel more of a chance though at extended court time.

But Ehman is super annoying and Grace does a better job reading and explaining the game. They are certainly a contrast in styles. Loberg could be smoother, but (watched the PSU vs. OSU match) Ehman is all smooth and really not much thought sometimes. She could be so much better if she'd just pause, rest and think. Using repetitive superlatives and saying "every time!" about a player who, the play before, didn't do that at all makes her look less than intelligent.

video replays aren't usually 4' long and the viewership are typically more committed than casual True on replay. But there is play stoppage every two minutes. And nothing happens until the middle of the 4th quarter anyway.

Ok. I don't think Smrek is struggling per se. I think she isn't getting the set height she needs. MJ knows it too, because she didn't set to her!
