lol Minnesota sure, even if one of them is only three rotations, but Penn State?? One good outside doesn’t make it a duo. I’d take Oregon’s outsides over both of those teams. No, I’m saying us Big Ten fans literally saw Colyer and Nunneviller play when they lost to Minnesota and Penn State. As long as you continue to dismiss Mimi as not having insanely improved over the course of the season, have at it. The last laugh will go to the Ducks. |

ahhh got it. misunderstood. Mimi is much, much better now though My point was more just a counter to the assumption BIG fans have not seen the Ducks play. Mimi is a great player who I’ve seen develop greatly, and I think her poor performance in Minneapolis is very understandable given that she was playing ranked opponents for the first time in a hostile environment. As to her and Brooke being the best duo, it’s hard to be sure given the Ducks reliance on them. They certainly have the best numbers, but I’d still take Eggleston/Skinner or Chaussee/healthy Debeer, who would have similarly gaudy stats if their teams had as absent of a middle attack as Oregon does. Does the PAC have any 6-2s? Brooke and Mimi will be hitting against solid RS blockers all night. I would also take a healthy Louisville duo, I agree with you there. 6-2’s were on and off. Arizona State ran one for a fat minute. Colorado runs an incredibly weird system where there’s usually a right side in, but not always (maybe like 4 or 4.5 rotations?). Cal was running one towards the end of the year I believe. UCLA ran one towards the end of the season too. I cannot tell you which ones Oregon faced off against (when the other team was running a 6-2). |

I quite literally have stated that she has developed greatly. She has and that’s an indisputable fact. |

yet another dumb tech question but...if we purchased ESPN plus does this include ESPNU? Thanks in advance...signed the old guy I don't know. What I do know is you can watch a replay of all the games the next day on your ESPN+ app. : / |

8 pages three days before match time? How can we get this to 30? Should we debate the strengths and weaknesses of horse coach? Does Cook send him to the glue factory if they lose? Nope. We can EASILY get this to 30 pages before the match by discussing the LSU/Hawaii Volleyball programs and Tik Tok "What Happened?!?" videos.  |

Does the PAC have any 6-2s? Brooke and Mimi will be hitting against solid RS blockers all night. Hmmm. To take Colyer/Nuneviller over Eggleston/Skinner has to include defense in 6 rotations. As pins, there's no discussion. Nothing against Colyer/Nuneviller. I still wouldn't take Colyer/Nuneviller, but admittedly Nuneviller is a beast in the back court defensively, and well...neither Eggleston nor Skinner are. |

Despite being the higher seed, this thread is giving me the feeling that Nebraska is actually the underdog and I LOVE everything about that.
I voted Nebraska in 4 but that is very very wishful thinking.

I respect Oregon's OH, just not sure if they have ever met Nebraska's block. It can wear hitters down and frustrate them to no end. Excited to watch a high level and competitive college match. GO HUSKERS !

Absolutely agree but Nebraska (even despite injuries) hasn't played even close to their potential and I don't see them changing that before their next game. |

GO HUSKERS ! Stanfords right side blockers are actually blocking about .1 more balls per set than Nebraskas on the season, .06 less per set than nebraska as a team and oregon handled us. we were without Francis our best blocker, but A. smith as a replacement is blocking the same amount of balls allick is. oregon has seen and been successful against big blocks, but they haven't seen a good blocking team that can dig as well as nebraska can |

Stanford is #11 in the nation in blocks per set and Oregon frankly dominated. |
