During the 4th set, I noticed a change in "face" and amped up arm strength in Skinner.
She was mad. But not just at the situation. She was mad at Tennessee and she was (my opinion) mad at her teammates.
I was watching the replay and during the time between serves, she went to her teammates and was telling a few words in her stoneface. Not cheerleader, put-you-on-you-butt face, but "I've had enough of this" face.
4th straight NCAA tournament for her. Yeah, she's had enough of that sloppy play.

How hard did you "work" for the win last night? Here's how I helped the situation: - changed my Longhorn apparel midway through the third set - changed my seat location from one couch to another couch to start the fourth set - changed the lighting in the room midway through the fourth set - moved from one living area to another living area after Tennessee went on a 7-2 run to take a 21-18 lead; should have made that drastic move a bit sooner

Shroll, ASU libero, had 30 digs against Stanford last night in for sets. Halter better be on her A game, because not only will they challenge her, but Stanford applies a ton of service pressure too.

when we finally get the post-match press conference, i bet one million internet dollars that coach will say something akin to 'we didn't manage the game well'

So many pages since I last logged on but has anyone been talking about how good Carissa Barnes has been for us? She’s came up with huge digs and finally passing at the level she was recruited for.

Honestly as a fan I’m just so happy to be here. I don’t quite understand how the Texas team that played yesterday beats the Stanford team that played yesterday. However, they can beat the Stanford team that played Houston. That Stanford team played practically no defense for 3 sets and almost lost. And Stanford’s service pressure is probably even better than Texas, which is saying something. I’d love to see them sideout themselves with a lot of errors. I just feel like we need some help in this one.

After we got down 20-23 late in the fourth set, there were so many players who stepped up with their floor defense getting a hand on the ball and simply refusing to allow it to fall to the floor!

So many pages since I last logged on but has anyone been talking about how good Carissa Barnes has been for us? She’s came up with huge digs and finally passing at the level she was recruited for. I talked about it briefly in the match thread, but didn’t focus on it as much as she deserved. She’s still serving really well, too. She doesn’t get the benefit of the rotation where Halter serves, so we don’t score as many points. And without looking at the numbers it feels like Barnes commits more service errors. But she’s been super valuable there, too. I feel like she consistently gives us opportunities to score when she’s serving, which is all you can ask for. Akana had a bit of a slippage last night, especially on that one shank where they took her out of serve receive to think about it (although her serving was SUPER effective!). But like you’re saying, I felt like Barnes has put together two really good matches in a row.

Guests thought it was kind of weird but what are you going to do? Madi needed help.

I feel like we have been doing this all season but sometimes we come up short. We have to come up strong and fast...every set.
