Wisconsin at a 5-1 does have some major advantages over their 6-2. They are much less likely to run out of subs and have better serve receive. The big weakness is replacing Drob with Izzy as a blocker and losing 3 rotations of Drob hitting. Against Nebraska, shoring up SR could be worth the drop off on offense/blocking for 3 rotations. Put robinson in the middle over CC Problem solved. (i know robinson is an opposite, but she did start as a middle with wisconsin right? but CC gives so many other intangibles!

All kidding aside, CC is a fighter, and wisconsin has been doing more than fine with her there. But can you imagine TTA Franklin Booth Robinson Smrek Thats a legit scoring oppurtunity from every single position, and you save on subs. (im not advocating one way or the other, but just how robinson can see the court in a 5-1)

The big weakness is replacing Drob with Izzy as a blocker and losing 3 rotations of Drob hitting. Against Nebraska, shoring up SR could be worth the drop off on offense/blocking for 3 rotations. Major disadvantages in a 5-1 for Wisconsin -Ashburn becomes an immediate blocking liability, for obvious height reasons but more because it’s a skill she just hasn’t done in actual B1G matches (except for last weekend). -the entire team, after 15 matches has developed a rhythm on offense and defense, changing offenses disrupts that... Coaches have stated that they scrimmage in 5-1 all the time, and Izzy herself has said going from 5-1 to a 6-2 was harder than 6-2 to 5-1. The blocking point is valid, but we can put more DSes in the BR to cover hits over Izzy (see: Nicklin Hames).

You guys have probably been keeping an eye on things and know this, but we do have some intrigue heading toward 10/21:
"Tantalizing, isn't it? Seriously, Devyn has a not further defined shoulder injury, but has been in sweats during the last 2 matches looking pretty perky. MJ sustained a concussion in practice and isn't around for the match. We simply don't know what will happen."
The Badgers ran a 5-1 in their last 2 matches. Stay tuned gents.
It's a trap! This made me LOL. Think Sheffield is playing 4-dimensional chess with Cook? - "We have two starters injured, just so you know."
- "Yeah? Then why are you bringing them to Lincoln?!"
- "Well...we may need moral support."
- "Riiiiiiiiiight!..."

(im not advocating one way or the other, but just how robinson can see the court in a 5-1) CC is like the 4th best middle on that team! Which is mind boggling.

How long are we going to pretend Dave Shondell is gonna return to Purdue next year? He’s clearly coaching for his next job….
I also don’t see Barnes returning to Iowa.. they are a dumpster fire with a roster void of B1G level players…. and they have a great new venue and no one goes…Iowa can get 55,646 to a WBB game but only gets around 1000 to a volleyball match…. This is a failed program. .. and it’s not going be easier with the four new Pac12ers next

You CLEARLY don’t know anything about Dave. Bonkers.

BIG Ten Weekly Awards - Week 8Player of the Week - Sarah Franklin, Wisconsin Defensive Player of the Week - Lexi Rodriguez, Nebraska Setter of the Week - Camryn Haworth, Indiana Freshman of the Week - Ramsey Gary, Indiana (Welcome to the party!) Congrats to all the winners! Look, I get that these awards tend to go to players from winning programs, and these players are all very deserving, but if there's a righteous VB God in heaven, when oh when is She going to give some way overdue recognition to Raina Terry of the Illini? All Raina did last week was get: * 52 kills (28 and 24) * 6 aces * 5 blocking assists And, oh yeah, she's #1 in the Big Ten in kills and total points. Seriously, where's the love for this incredible young woman playing spectacularly against all odds?

Iowa can get 55,646 to a WBB game but only gets around 1000 to a volleyball match…. Iowa WBB has Caitlin Clark. Not really a fair comparison. There are no Caitlin Clark level celebrities in the entirety of NCAA women’s volleyball.
