it’s because some of your fans come into other match threads to talk about how good your players are and how they wouldn’t make the same mistakes lmao. See people talking about Lexi vs Elena Scott during the Pitt regional final. So ofc when Lexi is tragic in the title match people are gonna say something lol I mean, it's also just Harper Murray's attitude. While I appreciate swagger, she should be smarter than to pronounce NE being the national champion the next three years. Seems Bekka is rubbing off. You got to give her a little slack, it's not like she's had four years of media training. I 100% say that if they had the interview the next day versus 5 minutes after the match, it would be much different.

Okay. You lose in 3 to Texas and WI and you're the top team? If Texas would have lost to TN, do you think WI would have beaten you again? I want what you're drinking. on paper - with the talent that Nebraska brought in, yes they competed at an elite level and had one of the most impressive seasons led by a young core. They competed at an elite level when they were not expected to. Wisconsin (senior and transfer led) had the talent to be great and was expected to be great…but had losses, and close calls along the way - forced to 5 against Arkansas/Tennessee early on (both tourney teams with deep runs), could have lost to Florida had it not been for Stucky’s injury, 4-set loss to PSU, 5-set loss to Purdue, 5-set loss to Nebraska. I’m not taking away anything from Wisconsin - if you go through the threads, I was hoping for an all-B1G championship to decide the tie break but the momentum-led longhorns got in the way of that for both B1G teams. Now to your question of do I think WI would have beaten Nebraska again? We’re talking hypotheticals, so no matter which response i give, you’ll rebuke and then starts the never ending cycle of YOU’RE WRONG followed by NO YOU’RE WRONG. I’m just not in the mood to argue tonight - but i stand by everything i’ve said about this Nebraska team. They put the sport that we all love on the national and global map because of that 92,003 match. If you can’t appreciate what this team has done for the sport in the US and respect the resume that they had, all because you just want to defend your own team, idk what to tell you. Cool. Couldn't care less. Hook 'em! ❤️

Seems Bekka is rubbing off. you can guarantee every positive thing Allick brings to the team is rubbing off too. The constant jabs at Bekka from fans of other teams is getting old. She had an extremely thoughtful response in the post-game and is still trashed because one of her TEAMMATES said something that wasn't well received.

Finally bringing myself to watch post came stuff... Cook needs some media training a little bit. We can send him to learn from Kelly 😁 Really? I think he is media gold. He is always moving the discussions.

Agreed. Other schools are going to make sure they have a solid name at each position. That second outside hitter position is our weakness and we need someone who can consistently terminate and contribute from that pin. Krause has had moments of solid contributions, but I'm not sure she's the answer when she's getting subbed out consistently for Batenhorst for poor performance. Look to the portal or, if not, maybe see how we can work in both CJ and Merrit instead of keeping both on the right, since the coaches speak so highly of Jurevicious? Krause has .323 hitting% in her last 26 matches played in while playing two positions with 4 different setters, hell of a lot more than “moments of solid contribution” and far from a weakness with her as OH2 has played 3 years of NCAA Big Ten volleyball and Merritt Beason has played the same three years, 2 with Florida and 1 with Nebraska. Krause has had a better hitting % in each of the 3 seasons than Beason has had. She has been slightly more efficient. Beason was mentioned for National Player of the Year, but Krause is our weakness, interesting . Let that sink in before making ridiculous comments of Krause’s lack of ability to get it done. Krause is a hell of a lot closer to Beason than Batenhorst is to Krause. Krause better than Batenhorst by 70-96 points each year. To lump Krause and Batenhorst as the same, that’s crazy. Krause is obviously better than Batenhorst. No one is disputing that. Despite Lindsay's impressive overall hitting percentage, though, it's a running theme that Cook will sub her out for Ally if she isn't producing. This is the constantancy I am referring to; the constant pingponging between Krause and Batenhorst and the games during which neither stood out as the clear best option. More production at this pin is key, especially with Batenhorst as of late, and I think Krause was doing a great job right before she got hurt. Krause's injury came at such an unfortunate time this season, right as she was really coming into her own. When she is on, she is incredible. If she recovers well from her injury and can grow more into this caliber of play, I can only assume she'll keep her starting role. Exploring other options within the team other than Ally for her competition can't hurt, though.

Nebraska had great season, a ton to be proud of - riding high - right up until they walked into that chili arena. If it weren’t for that dastardly NCAA with their insistence on a championship match they’d be number one still! It’s so unfair. Who knows, if we were still doing side-out scoring it would have been a whole other outcome! I blame rally scoring!
But kidding aside Nebraska you did great! Feel proud! You had 31 wins in a row! Don’t pay any attention to those 12 aces and most lopsided loss in NCAA loss history. Like one of your players said in that press conference she’s certain you’ll win the next THREE national championships! That’s something to look forward to.

She should be red carded like half her games if you go by the way they treated Asyia. 🙄

Don’t respond to the trolls. For some reason Nebraska lives rent free in their mind while other Texas fans are enjoying their national championship

RETWEET. also, as we just saw, confidence and attitude can make or break you. i love the fire and drive from the players because that is truly what it takes to win. you don't win if you don't believe in yourselves 1000%. of course somebody's gonna be wrong at the end of the day but you're honestly putting yourself at a disadvantage imo if you don't utilize the power of the mind in sports. just my opinion! What I love about Bekka is that she feels it. She loves the game, she loves her team. She shows more heart than I've seen from anyone in a while. It's obvious that ppl that ignore her character just to goon over that fact that yeah she's competitive (aka also fun to watch) arent worth listening to and I hope she knows that

Transfers are part of the deal now. But it's still sad to see Haydn & Caroline enter the portal.
They looked pretty good in Red.
