Are the Illini more likely to run a 5-1 or a 6-2 this year?
I'm expecting them to start the season running a 5-1 and only use the 6-2 on occasion if they feel they need a shakeup mid-match. Lotta new faces on this team though and I think the personnel could be there to run a 6-2.
I'm expecting a 5-1 mostly though, especially if it clicks early.

Are the Illini more likely to run a 5-1 or a 6-2 this year? They will run a 5-1. However, they have historically had trouble receiving when the setter is in the front left position. I would not be surprised if they bring Raegan in to set in that one rotation. If they run a 6-2 and Averie plays all six rotations whichever of our DSs is not playing libero will be sitting. We need the passing and defense more than we need to run a 6-2. Both Christina and Caroline need to be on the court as much as possible.

Has anyone gotten their season tickets yet? I purchased mine. The version I bought was the electronic ticket that's accessible by smartphone so I won't be getting ones printed off and sent.
I talked to the ticket office. Delivery should occur on Aug. 19.

I am still amazed and proud of how Jordyn is playing for Team USA. She's not only made the team but the starting setter and the captain of the team. She is so special, and we are truly lucky we got to watch her play at Illinois for four seasons.

Fellow Illini faithful: I've been making our Illinois VT match threads for a few years and while I'm happy to keep making them, I wanted to open it up to the group in case someone else would like to take it over. Let me know!

Tearing every crucial ligament in her knee, having a complete reconstruction, rehabbing and making it back to lead the team to a Silver medal. EPIC!
