Iowa just cannot make a winning play when it matters

Didn't give Buettner a chance with that set.

Next 3 matches up are Wisconsin, Purdue, Penn State. Gonna have to wait for Michigan State to pick up a W and at that point we’ll be 0-7 so who knows what the temperament is going to be.

We have beaten Illinois once in the last 17 years. That 2016 match had one of the most impressive set distributions by the sorely missed Loxley Keala: M. Buzz (OH) - 33 attempts Mariani (MB) - 32 attempts Janota (MB) - 30 attempts Brobst (OH) - 28 attempts Coyle (OPP) - 27 attempts Keala dished out 65 assists in a 5 set thriller to Jordyn Poulter’s 60. One year later in Iowa City, Orr and Poulter each had 52 assists. Hawkeyes squandered two match point opportunities and gifted Illinois the win. Poulter is world class. Sure would have been sweet to have bettered her team twice. [Yeah, would have been vacated but an * victory nonetheless.]

Orr back to back in our program was such a blessing.

Dragged to a fundraising event last night when I wanted to watch - was kicked under the table during dinner as I watched parts of the match with my phone on my lap. Getting ready to watch this morning, sounds like we played OK but not great. I still recall the match when Poulter’s blocking took over at the end and saved the day!

Illini fans, you do realize that just last week this Iowa team went 5 against Minnesota? Every win in the Big Ten is a good win.
