With parra and Gibson this is a close match.
Without? TCU doesn’t stand a chance

lemme know if there's any notes about TCU's lineup we ball tomorrow Or their flu symptoms. Last year they canceled the match after the Texas team had already boarded their bus to head to Fort Worth. They had to turn around and go back to Austin. Still time left for an outbreak to occur. |

With parra and Gibson this is a close match. Without? TCU doesn’t stand a chance I don't see it as a close match either way. But it is less competitive. I can agree with that. |

TCU has shown they can compete. I would still think texas would win, but it would not shock me at all to see it go give with parra and gibson. |

I would still think texas would win, but it would not shock me at all to see it go five with parra and gibson. We are definitely not on the same page. TCU improved considerably over the course of the season last year while battling through an inordinate number of injuries. Maybe they can do it again. It will have to come after tomorrow night, though. Maybe they could win a set, but I don't think the match would be terribly competitive. If they'd caught Texas earlier in the season I would believe it, but not the way Texas is playing now. I honestly don't know what Parra or Gibson's status is for tomorrow night's game, but I don't think it matters that much in terms of overall outcome. They could be more competitive, and that's it. Without them I predict a sweep. TCU just hasn't been all that impressive as a team, even with Parra going off. They haven't beaten anyone that even remotely resembles how this Texas team is currently playing. |

They haven't beaten anyone that even remotely resembles how this Texas team is currently playing. The problem with this TCU team is that is honestly relies on Buckley. If her connection with the pins is good I think it'll be an extremely competitive match. Also there have been times where this team looks really really really good, but then gives up big leads and there are other games where you can tell from the first 5 points that the team is going to play from behind the entire game. Sadly I think Texas is going to win and it is not because I don't want them to win, but I want the conference standings to be a little interesting towards the end of the season and I don't think any other team besides UCF can take a game from Texas. Either way it'll be a good game on the big network. I hope we can see TCU fully healthy and out there. |

Next year you can have the most fascinating conference standings in the country and I’ll be 100% on board. This year I’m all for Texas to go undefeated in a very boring conference race. Good comments, though. I appreciate you sharing. |

I wouldn’t mind this match being a slugfest. TCU has shown its moments of capability. As long as we win in the end.

I really hope Parra plays. I’m as much a volleyball fan, in general, as I’m a Texas fan. With Parra playing, it’s going to be so much more fun to watch, whatever the score.
Texas’ propensity to give up long scoring runs means anybody they play has a fair chance of beating them, even if on paper they should be/are the favorite. Fortunately, talent has still won out most of the time this season. I’m actually kinda surprised Texas just has 3 losses, especially after watching Minnesota struggle so badly, with arguably better talent than most teams they’ve played.
