Texas trails florida 21-14 in the 1st set. not looking good Texas was able to fight back and take the 1st set
on an unrelated note, my back scratcher is a game changer. i can give myself back skritches and it's wonderful

There was an explanation on Twitter for why Texas is so high in serving even though their stats don't look as good as other teams. Basically, Texas is making teams pass worse than usual, and it seems like that's valued higher than serving bad passing teams off the court.
I'm sure there's a lot more nuance to this. But at least that gives a little more context.

Was watching the Pitt-SMU match thinking we need to serve like that. Guess we kinda do. I expect the serving will continue to get even stronger down the stretch.

The biggest game for Texas to date. I think that Kentucky will win. The difference will be the service pressure from Kentucky and Deleye. The serve receive for Texas still isn't that good imo.

sunday is a huge, huge match for the team. they have got to be focused and ready to go It's going to be a bit strange for Reagan and Madi, or maybe they will play with extra zip? Craig Skinner is a hell of a talent spotter and recruiter, but what's the story with people leaving? After the 2021 season so much of his top talent exited via the Portal - Skinner, Fisher, Bella Bell, then Goetzinger and Rutherford this year. Is it the program, the school, what?

With Madi's comments about finding her love of volleyball again at Texas (implying she lost it at Kentucky), I would lean toward saying something in the program. But it also could be something like location.
