The Back-to-Back National Champions Texas 2024 Thread

they just got blasted. goodness. one of the setters needs to go on 2 to keep the middle honest.

and figure out the a&m block.

ugly ugly set

[mln59]

not the cleanest of endings and i'll take it. madi is struggling big time

it gets me in my feelings

[mln59]

devin is a hero

[basil]

First career ace for Devin I think

Love the range she showed swinging high off the A&M block

[nellynel]

Devin I have been waiting for that serve all year.

[mln59]

1. Texas block was absent. this displeases mln59
2. jenna and madi have to be smarter about attacking
3. the team looks calmer when averi is setting

we are nine matches into the season. consider that we are in the trust tree and be honest. raise your hand if your bingo card had a) Texas running a 6-2 and b) madi playing 3 rotations only

[widdledumpling]

Blegh.

Happy to walk away with the win, but it’s not very fun rooting for a team when you glance nervously at a 5 point lead and hope they manage not to lose it

[mln59]

momma mln59 pointed out that it seems that neither madi nor jenna have their fingers taped. that has to be corrected

[mln59]

i don't think averi or ella went on 2 a single time tonight. i don't like that.

no bics. i don't like that

That was stressful but we won. Happy for Devin. Madi got better at the end but very curious about what’s going. Maybe she is hurt?

What’s going on with Madi?

honestly, i think she's too far into her own head right now. i feel that she is over-correcting and it's leading to issues

when you drive off the road, you have to be gentle

[mln59]

does the team travel to baton rouge tonight? or maybe tomorrow?

I don’t like this 6-2. Usually when teams run 6-2’s, they have either high kill and efficiency numbers or really good blocking numbers. We have neither. Carlson is not in the front row and we’re still not blocking. I noticed we go on more scoring runs when Carlson is in and the team looks more calm when Carlson is in. As a person who’s been critical of Kahahawai, I am so glad and happy to see her happy on the court and doing well but it makes you wonder if it really is the setting. She is really blossoming and I loved how Wenaas was struggling and Carlson kept feeding the hot hand which was Kahahawai. Also Carlson had a couple of chef kiss sets to Madi tonight that had me like WOW.

Averi Carlson - 74 assist, 23 digs
Ella Swindle - 51 assist, 16 digs
I don’t think we will win a 3 peat with a 6-2. Akana is not used to playing middle back. And our back row attack is completely non existent. I wonder how long he’s actually going to go with this 6-2.

idk. madi’s mug wasn’t beat today. somethings off
