 | First Round | | #1 Wisconsin vs. Quinnipiac | Friday, Dec. 2, 2022
8 PM ET / 7 PM CT | UW Field House
Madison, Wisconsin |
 | |  |     | | | 25-3, 19-1
Big Ten Champions | | 14-14, 10-8
MAAC Champions |     | | |
Quinnipiac's offense features three undersized pin hitters: Yagmar Gunes, a 5-8 first year OH from Bursa, Turkey; Ginevra Giovagnone, a 5-8 first year OH from Montale Rangone, Italy; and Aryanah Diaz, a 5-4 RS from Miami, Florida. Their offense is run by Damla Gunes, a 5-8 first year setter from Bursa, Turkey. And yes, Damla and Yagmur Gunes are twins. |

I wonder what prior familiarity GG might have with the Gunes twins?

Even if none, hopefully she will get to talk to them afterwards!
I don't think there will be many blocks in the game as I predict Q will do a lot of tipping to try to get over the wall. And the Badgers better not get blocked!

Just voted for the Q-pac sweep. I mean, why not? It won't happen, but if it did it would the greatest ever "I Called It!" in the history of Volleytalk.

And the Badgers better not get blocked! I think they will struggle OOS but if they get tempo balls to the pins I think they'll go for the seams or the tool. Diaz at 5'4" on the right seems really small but she has hops according to that video posted on the team thread, besides you don't lead your team in kills at 5'4" by tipping. It's not like she hasn't already seen taller blocks - this is just a magnitude more of a difference. |

Badgers apparently won the playoff cupcake rights from Russ Rose in a poker game...

I used to collect stream insects (Notonectids specifically) right outside of Quinnipiac during my first year in graduate school, in Sleeping Giant (Hobbomock) state park.

If Diaz gets 10+ kills, I’m giving her tournament MVP

Ask Nebraska fans how Franklin murdered the 5'10 Hames.

If Diaz gets an ace GG is going to run all the way around to the other side and pick her up.
