Not that I would change anything about the expected starting lineups, but BYU has been subbing in a DS for Livingston more in the last few matches. BYU subbed in Miller in the backrow for almost all of the Houston match and most of the Utah St. match. Livingston did play six rotation against Baylor the whole time.

I think BYU has looked like the better team so far, but I’m rooting for a Longhorn sweep. A shame this couldn’t be a home and home. Also, I wish this was the last match of the conference season instead of one of the first.

Also, I wish this was the last match of the conference season instead of one of the first. I think if it was a home and home each team would win at home. I watched the Stanford Texas match and I don't think BYU will handle the pressure and crowd of Gregory anywhere near as well as Stanford did. I hope BYU continues to play well, but sometimes BYU looks all world at home and much less confident on the road. We'll see. I fear it could be a Longhorn sweep.

Texas mostly just ran into arguably the best blocking team in NCAA history (3.85 blocks/set on the season, which is the 25-point era record by quite a bit). They had 17 blocks that night. That plus Jennifer Hamson (22 kills on .241) and Alexa Gray (19 kills on .421). On the other side of the net, Chiaka Ogbogu was dominant, recording 14 kills while hitting .500. But BYU was able to keep everyone else in check for the most part.

Bell on the right along with Cerame, Dalton setting in a 6-2, Neal and Eckerman (who had I think maybe not as great of a senior season compared to her two prior) as the left sides. Obviously worked out for them mostly, but just odd in my internal archives thinking back.

All three sets were close, but RJP was unstoppable.

in 2016 that was a nail-biter (25-23, 25-14, 24-26, 22-25 & 16-14)...texas was up 2 sets, well you know we've been there before & byu battled back the next 2 sets...so i was watching the match on the longhorn network & the score was 11-14 something happened with my satellite reception i originally thought texas lost the match...i didn't get to see the ending (on replay) until sometime later on...i remember byu was leading 11-5 in the 5th set but the horns stormed back to win...loved it
texas hit .364 byu hit .242
blocks: horns 14 & byu 10
collins with 70 assists white with 24 kills yazzie with 8 blocks
boswell with 8 blocks mary lake doing mary lake things with 30 digs

Also, I wish this was the last match of the conference season instead of one of the first. Texas got a break with these matches as they don't have to travel to Provo and take on BYU at Smith Fieldhouse. Stanford 2018 lost only one match and it was in that building.

Texas got a break with these matches as they don't have to travel to Provo and take on BYU at Smith Fieldhouse. Stanford 2018 lost only one match and it was in that building. Absolutely. It's so weird, too. You wouldn't think the league office would be too keen to do Texas any favors on their way out. The commissioner is openly rooting for Texas to lose. I will say Texas campaigned for a home and home schedule, but got out voted by schools that wanted to curb travel costs. Which is exactly the the kind of thing Texas wanted to get away from by leaving the conference. Texas has a mega budget, and wants a conference commissioner who unadulteratedly panders to that, whereas in the Big 12 the commissioner has always needed to be attuned to all the conference members, some of which do not have a humongous athletic budget. Especially once Nebraska and A&M left the conference.

I'll be honest. I wouldn't mind seeing this series continue. Not sure what kind of relationship Elliott and Olmstead have, but there's some great history between the two teams, and BYU is always decent, and many times much more than that. I think the Big 12 membership is going to do wonders for their athletic department as a whole.
Just keep away from the football team. The stuff of nightmares right there.
