Francis makes an already good Stanford better

I agree.

And she brings so much emotion to this team I like it.

This is not the truth I watched Texas won the fourth 25-22 it was by no means a blowout the next 3 sets they made em sweat.

25-16, 25-12.

You're right, the 4th set was 21-21 but Texas then went on a 4-1 run to win the set. I'd still say Texas dominated UH over the course of those 3 sets, although the 4th set was tight, as you point out. 

You just proved they dominated over 2 sets 21-21 in the fourth is not a dominant performance winning 25-22 is close some of that is your opponents errors I think it’s even more impressive considering it was in Greg that’s a good home court. Either way it was a Texas win I was just stating Houston is good and isn’t intimidated by a Power 5 legacy team

True...good teams always need someone to light a fire, during good times and bad times

Always knew Oglivie was good but I def have not been giving her enough credit. Sunderland said it but she’s so smooth and subtle with her movements. People tend to overhype flashy liberos but Oglivie does everything a flashy libero does in suck a calm way. People needa start putting some respect on her name

Brian G of LBSU was one of the most successful head coaches around but was notorious for not calling TOs. He said that the other team should be reacting to them and so they should not need to call timeouts.

Stanford serve-reception winning this thing.

Shelby Coppedge got a lot older all of a sudden.

I still can’t wrap my head around the number one hitter that came out of Hawaii during her HS senior year, Oglivie, is one of the best liberos in college. Hawaii just makes good setters and defense players.

Sunderland keeps saying Louisville was the #3 overall seed - that's not true. Louisville was #2. Wisconsin was #3.

I don't think UH is feeling intimidated here. I think they're simply getting out talented, just like they did in Austin after the great start.

Stupid question but how do you lose a set and leave a timeout on the board?

I don’t like how many times Paul said the word limp there lol
