So, let's talk about the lack of true middle attacks compared to Tennessee. Was it about first contact, or was it about the setter's choices on who to set on a perfect pass? We can't be so pin-heavy against Stanford on Saturday night. both from what I saw. there were so many rallies where I thought we could’ve set Bella and we never did. Tennessee went on a big run in one set and there were like 5 opportunities to set Bella (granted, on the slide) and we didn’t take any of them. just kept chucking it up to Jenna. it was infuriating to watch. Exactly!
Severely out of system, Swindle/others just trying to get the ball to a hitter. The only hitter away from the ball is......Jenna.

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.
I think she was also mad at herself, there were some hitting errors I think she wanted back

We need to set Tournament Molly more. She had a hot night last night - 9kills, 0 errors, hitting .500 and 4 blocks. And she didn't get many sets during the middle of the match where we struggled -

And she didn't get many sets during the middle of the match where we struggled - We try to run here but we couldn't be more in system. Tennessee sides out fast and she goes in the back row. Stats doesn't show everything.

Net— was it me or did it seem like we more net violations in one night than we have had all year? Oh, I was making constant comments on it during the match. Started a drinking game. Theorized this was the most net violations in tournament history. Made several comments regarding how apropos it would be for the match to end with a Tennessee net violation. It didn't, but it should have.

Net— was it me or did it seem like we more net violations in one night than we have had all year? There was a lot on both sides, including ppl who typically don't (Asjia). 7 nets for TN and 4 for TX. Adrenaline and trying to be aggressive will do that

I was not a fan of the refs trying to get Asjia to chill last night. I just think if the players aren’t talking through the net it’s fine - a little stare down never hurt nobody! The intensity is good for the game.
