Difference is they play their entire collegiate career there and develop as players at one school. That's way more impressive (from a program perspective) than acquiring a bunch of proven transfers that were stars at their old schools and creating a super team. There's no doubt the transfer portal is the key to success nowadays, just makes it hard to root for teams like that  I’m glad you appreciate the Badgers 2021 national championship team of players who decided to finish out their careers where they started! Funny, I'm talking about this year's badgers team!! |

This is looking like a 90 minute match ... unless there are some long challenges.

I knew this would be a rough match...and it is. Wisconsin and Nebraska just playing a different game these days.

Ah, Wisconsin doesn't develop players? Sarah Franklin was an AA at Michigan St? One of our biggest developments this season is Orzol at libero, but that doesn't fit your narrative right? Lmao, if TTA could just play like her star-self at NW, we would be unbeatable, we can't even get her to do that. Also, hmmm, Nebraska's best player is a transfer. But shhhhh, let's not mention that? I struck a nerve and I love it! I never said Wisconsin doesn't develop players, I said Nebraska does the best job at it and therefore it is more rewarding. Also, developing Orzol as a lib isn't impressive considering she's statistically dead middle in the Big Ten out of the liberos. & it's weird how much of a down year TTA is having isn't it? Nebraska plays one transfer (I could be wrong about that). Wisconsin consistently plays Carter Booth, Caroline Crawford, Temi Thomas-Ailara, Sarah Franklin. Am I forgetting anyone else? See. Not being honest here. Nebraska failed to develop an entire top class of recruits, and transfers if you include Sun, which is why huskers lost more than 10 in a row against the badgers. |

Lol you want to talk about proven transfers and Nebraska? LOLOLOL. Kelsey Robinson-Cook Lexi Sun Kayla Caffey Kaitlyn Hord Merritt Beason You know what they all have in common? All much more proven and highly regarded transfers than Wisconsin has ever had outside of TTA, but the instant we take in some transfers you have to close your eyes to the ones Nebraska has had over the years right? Oops got a narrative to push. Edit: holdup, turning an outside into a middle-of-the-pack libero in a P5 conference and the country in general is NOT impressive? LOL OK. Ask Penn St how Starck is doing as just a DS. |

Sarah's struggling, but we have Smrek and Booth carrying and that works too.

That miscommunication between Ashburn and GG cost us a beautiful dig by Orzol

Both coaches arguing with the down ref about something.
Then Frank manages to catch fingertips on a high hit. 5-4 WI

Robinson is kind of like Wisconsin's ace in the hole.
When things aren't working, set her for an easy kill.

Nunge wins a long rally for IL but then Mosher bombs a serve long.

This is just silly. Wisconsin can build their team with high quality transfers because they have built a program they want to go to.
Also acting like TTA is the only top transfer they got is just crazy. Downplaying that Franklin was a first team All Big 10 at Michigan State is just silly and Carter was on the All Freshman at Minnesota.
