Nice to see the news that MSU is investing in a new facility for volleyball and hoping this spurs the Regents in Ann Arbor to finally do the same. With all of our B1G neighbors touting new or significantly remodeled facilities, its become a must for recruitment. With a planned capacity of 4,000-5,500, that makes it larger than the Covelli Center at OSU and Wilkinson Hall at Indiana. I would hope that Breslin could still be utilized for the Michigan match, which has been routinely drawing 6,000+ for the past few years. Michigan is now on the clock. Looking forward to seeing both teams back in the tourney soon!

With all of our B1G neighbors touting new or significantly remodeled facilities, its become a must for recruitment. With a planned capacity of 4,500-5,500, that makes it larger than the Covelli Center at OSU and Wilkinson Hall at Indiana. I would hope that Breslin could still be utilized for the Michigan match, which has been routinely drawing 6,000+ for the past few years. Michigan is now on the clock. Looking forward to seeing both teams back in the tourney soon! Did not realize the costs were so high playing in Breslin but makes sense compared to Jenison. It would make sense to go back for Michigan like you said and probably whichever match lines up with the basketball student section camp out. Last year the Nebraska match was part of the camp out so it brought in at least 1000+ additional students.

I wonder what the basketball team is charged to play at Breslin? Or any other team for that matter. I like the idea of the new facility and unfortunately in today's world you need to keep up or get left behind. Keep pushing forward.
It has been interesting to watch this team develop and I'm excited to see what the ultimate lineup ends up being. I think the big shock is how poorly Holdem has been scoring on the outside, compared to last year. I still believe she will shake it off and get back to last year's stats. As Kulig keeps developing into a threat, which will open it up more for the outsides.
Super bummed for Courtley and her injury. I had just listened to her on the Leah Johnson radio show and she seems like a great add to the team.
May I have your attention please, Will the real right side, please stand up........ will the real right side, please stand up.
Preston, Moore, Anderson, Holdem, Grak, are all fantastic players but the reality is there are only so many spots on the court. Look at Texas, Nebraska, and others. The truth is some really great players don't always get to see the court in games.

They all pay the same rental fee - a lot of these facilities are owned by the University and rented back to athletics - why? because the athletic department doesn't have the resources to run such a large building with all of the events they do

MSU drops the first set to WMU 17-25. I haven’t seen as much of MSU so far this season, but I’m a bit confused by the lineup.
Why move away from the 6-2 to a 5-1? Is Muisenga a lock for setter, or has LJ been giving Bishop and Berger shots at all? Why does Iosia have more kills in this match so far than Holdem? 😭

Block is having trouble and serve receive is struggling. They have switched back and forth between the 6-2 and 5-1 throughout the season so far. I think they haven't figured out the right side yet. Courtley was starting in that spot but went down with a knee injury.

Down 20-13 in set 2 vs Western and 1-0 in the match.
This might be a quick 3-0. Team just doesn’t look focused or ready to play whatsoever. The setting has also been atrocious even in good passing situations….lots of half swings and trap sets that you just can’t see from big ten setters that are seniors. I refuse to believe Berger is this bad.

Definitely having some setting issues. Berger has come in and is setting along with Bishop in set 2.

This is seriously hard to watch If doing a 5-1, why not run Berger at setter? From what I’ve watched this and last year, she seems like she’s a bit more consistent than Biahop and Muisenga have been.

From what I’ve watched this and last year, she seems like she’s a bit more consistent than Biahop and Muisenga have been. I’d imagine it’s blocking concerns. Maybe some setter loyalty to the seniors who “have the experience”. Either way it’s just really hard to watch. We have hitters who can swing but we just can’t get the ball there. I’m not sure what the difference is but I don’t remember the setting being this bad when they made the switch to Bishop/Muisenga last season. It feels like a serious regression.

There’s no reason why you should have three different setters in one match.
What is going on with Holdem? Her drop off from last year has been drastic- is she injured?
It’s been so frustrating being an MSU fan for the last 7 seasons or so.

It’s been so frustrating being an MSU fan for the last 7 seasons or so. Don’t think she’s injured, just think she’s got a years worth of film on her and she’s being scouted better. Also I do think the setting is not nearly as solid as it was last year….connections are off lots of trap and behind sets. Not entirely sure it’s her fault.
