Does anyone know the announcers that will be coming to Austin for the matches? Chanting: "Be Paul [crakalaka], Be Paul [crakalaka], Be Paul [crakalaka]"
I miss all the calls he had with Nell On Wheels.

I opened up the box scores for their last three matches and they show nine, nine, and ten players playing in each set. those are all their recent roundabout of DSs or serving subs. Hamilton and Reitsma are both 6 rotations. Naber is the usual DS for (Opposite) Foti. Dragani, Holstrom, and Vandenberg have all made recent appearances as either a DS (for Naber) or serving sub. It's a carousel cause none of them (minus the recovering Vandenberg) are good at passing lol. I don't remember Holstrom serving (doesn't mean she didn't, I just don't remember it). Holmstrom has been an OH hitter with then moving Hamilton to RS. Sometimes Ifill has been RS to try and have a little bigger block instead of Yadi. Garrison has also been used as a serving specialist. |

Marquette is a solid team. Can be really scrappy in D. The libero can play out of her mind. I really like Anchante. Moving Foti to RS was a master stroke. The middles are less imposing IMO. Theis is a good coach. I honestly think they will give Texas a game, but I don't see them winning, though I'll be rooting for them because they are Wisconsin volleyball. Having watched most of Marquette's matches, I think the scouting reports in this thread overrate Marquette's pins and underrate their middles. Their block is usually consistent and is physical for a mid-major team. Hamilton is great at OH but they are lacking at the other spot. If they had Sis or Martin from Creighton at Reitsma's position they could contend for the title (Reitsma's superior serve notwithstanding). Foti is decent at RS but not dangerous. Skrabek is good, and consistent, but is not going to make jaw-dropping plays like some of the flashier bro's you see. Anchante is every bit as good as advertised, probably moreso, and will run one of the quicker offenses that Texas will see. She's an All-American setter IMO. While this is one of Theis's mentally toughest teams, that's not saying much. Like most elite teams, they're great in system. They have the ability to grind out sets but not matches. They're an aggressive serving team, but it can break down under pressure. They've not faced much adversity together. Marquette belongs in the S16 and their win over Georgia Tech was no fluke. They can take a set off of Texas, but that said, this should be a 3-0 or 3-1 win for the Horns. Marquette is young, and if Theis can keep the crew together and find a replacement for Skrabek, this match vs Texas can pay dividends for Marquette as they could be back in the S16 with a better draw and more experience in the future. Hands down, they should be the BE favorite next season, even with Creighton returning similar pieces. |

Hands down, they should be the BE favorite next season, even with Creighton returning similar pieces. I guess my view of Skrabek is that she CAN play out of her mind, but not necessarily. Marquette needs to be scrappy all the time to have a chance at this level. I've seen big issues in passing during stretches that are deeply problematic against a big block like Texas. I think we focus on the pins because the attack is pretty pin heavy. Murray has some decent stats, but she floats in and out of being effective in the matches I've seen (she was not very good at all against the badgers, and that may color my view). Agree about Anchante. She's one of my favorite NCAA players right now. |

I think Marquette could surprise some people in Austin, not necessarily with a win but with a tighter match than the crowd is comfortable with. it can be really hard to play against a setter as good as anchante. when she's setting from a good location, she puts her hitters in really good opportunities. she does a good job of not giving away where she's setting the ball before she does as well. I think this is the best team texas will have seen since stanford which could give Marquette a chance to jump on them early.
but then again looking at the texas lineup I can't really make an argument for any team. how is Marquette as a passing team? if anchante is in comfortable positions they could be really hard to stop

Baylor was just in Austin 2 weeks ago and is pretty good and on par with Marquette. They have a really good setter, two good middles, an elite libero and capable though error prone pins and are a very tough serving team. Texas won 3-1 but was pushed by Baylor.
