GG is so fragile mentally for a position that have to stand in and take bombs from the opposing hitters...Time for a gut check here I don't think she is the problem tonight.

lowering expectation for next season with a new setter. Not a bad thing.

Let Anna be captain next season. We need someone who doesn't crumble under pressure and Anna has consistently shows up in the tourney ever since she was a freshman. Even last year she showed up v Penn St and Pitt. We need someone like that to lead, because it's clear from today (and honestly last year in the E8 against Pitt too) the moment was too big for the rest of the team. Most disappointingly Izzy, a 5th year senior and captain who sets terribly all night.
Also, GG, I love your fire...but 4 REs today in 4 sets and getting benched. 6 REs last year in 5 sets vs. Pitt. It's literally the same story. The only person she can DS for next year (assuming a 5-1) is Anna because otherwise I don't think we can trust her to pass when the lights are bright deep in tourney.

Wow, that was painful. I was really confident we would prevail in a hard fought match, but man. Can't even be mad, we got crushed in basically all aspects of the game.

How does Julia get outdug 19-4 by the Texas libero? Skinner is outstanding, but something wasn't right with Julia for her to get just one dig per set tonight.

Everyone was off. The team looked like they were playing scared except for the set they won.

It might seem like Wisconsin has all this tournament experience, but for half of them, this was their first final four. They looked nervous at the start, got it together for the second set, and then things snowballed. It sucks, but it happens. That wasn't the Texas team that played Tennessee, and that wasn't the UW team that played Oregon. That's how it goes sometimes...

Even GG, as bad as she was on SR, got 13 digs. MJ had more digs than Julia...there was a ball that was an easy roll shot over by Wenaas that Julia somehow totally botched and that was basically the epitome of her night.

Texas had their A game on serve, digging and role player kills. Nearly unbeatable tonight.
Wisc wins 8 out of 10 matches but not tonight.

I mean...there's losing....and then there's completely crumbling showing 0 fight. Tonight was the latter.
