THIS. Another wake up call on an odd season with a freshman setter connection and libero because everyone else are veterans. Before the season began, I wondered, "Who has won a NC with a true freshmen setter?" Digging, digging, digging:
Jenna Gray, 2016.
Beating a Texas team 3-1.
Also, it helped having Kathyrn Plummer as a teammate.
inky was arguably the best player in the country too lol

We have the pieces but it has to click and adjustments has to be made. Like Emma said, winners win and I can't comfortably say that right now, which I'm okay with.

last thought (maybe), I just know it's probably really hard on the girls right now. I hope they get some good mental reset today and tomorrow. November is the longest month of the year for college volleyball because once December hits...it's all so fast from there.
There's so much hope for this team.

The 2023 Longhorn team is what it is - not what we hoped. This team should still win the Big 12 title on their way out and can make the round of 16 if the matchups are favorable.
The 2024 team will be different, but the same. With the departures of Bergmark, Phillips, and O-Neal, there will again be inexperience, but at different positions than this year. I'm curious to see how they will do in the SEC.

lol i was looking around at our numbers on the season in VM and tell me why molly is statistically our best server LOL small sample size of course but still funny. as slxpress noted last night, we serve well. the issue is that we couldnt convert anything to take advantage of that. kansas state passed a 1.84 to our 2.13 and they still SMOKED us. that's unacceptable.

Skinner did well but Jenna on the other hand it was hard to find production and get out of rotations

I think it's good to accept where we are and see where we can head from there. We got outplayed last night.

But you all know this is somehow Nebraska's fault, right?

What did KSU pass in the two losses to Kansas? Hitting .351 on 1.84 passing😳. I believe they were over .400 for the first set and a half.
