Madi passed 2.38 when Texas was behind in the score. (8 passes) She only had one pass when the set score was 20+ Wow that is exactly what I’m talking about! Passing dimes when we need it the most. Also seems like a miss to only serve to her once after 20…. I guess that's technically only when Stanford was in the 20s. They only had 6 serves i think i was. itd be more work to figure out the receptions when texas was I think |

Skinner had the best match passing all tourney. She also scored at will OOS 24 kills. Stanford had a bad night from the service line 6 aces to 14 errors and they were out blocked. Texas only had 1.5 more points. Stanford wasn’t scoring in transition as easy. Miner didn’t have her best night I think it’s in her decision making sometimes. Stanford led in all most other categories. As others said though it looked like Stanford was playing to not lose where Texas was playing to win. I seem to recall the this year’s Stanford coach saying service errors weren’t his worry. It was something he claimed they’d looked at statistically. I actually think a commentator was remarking on that last year. Anyone else remember that? Oh yeah. People comment on it regularly. Normally I agree with him, but in this case I didn’t. Stanford had 3 rotations really to make hay in. They weren’t going on any big runs with Skinner and O’Neal in the front row, whether it was Phillips or Swindle up there, too. Every service error they got with Wenaas in the front row meant a Texas side out they didn’t have to earn. Stanford’s serving is usually overpowering enough to be a difference maker regardless of the rotation, but not this time. And then regularly Texas was scoring on Halter’s and Akana’s rotation. That ended up being the difference in the match. Stanford simply couldn’t close the gap, and their service errors were a part of it. |

Asjia is likely going to push for a spot on the Paris roster… now which middle is better than her in the ncaa? periodt Carter's only a sophomore, so there's no way this is a fair comparison. Not because of talent levels, but because she's not going to be graduating next year and thus really be able to be selected. I'm not saying Asjia's bad, she's amazing. I just don't think the talent difference between Carter and her there is big as what you're making it out to be. |

Can someone with VM pull how many pipe swings Rubin and Baird took this year? I know they'd run it with Kipp a ton out of serve receive, but it seemed a rare bird in transition - which didn't make sense to me given the lack of middle threat.

People are acting like it was a beatdown. Texas scored 1.5 more points on the match. (I'll be real, I don't know how a team can get half a point) [edit: actually adding up the points myself, Texas was actually +8 on the match. I guess the stats are counting earned points and not errors or something?] In the fourth set it was 22-22 until Texas rattled off 3 straight for the win. Honestly, Texas was just clutcher at the end of sets. Texas also errored WAY less. Yeah, Texas had some sloppy stretches, but unabashedly went for it when it was close, not uptight based on any previous errors or sloppy plays. That series of blocks at the end of the fourth were obviously huge. Such a momentum shift from Stanford scoring a point, and just the mental jolt of stopping the Stanford attack. |

Completely erased the advantage of having 3 6-rotation pin threats. |

Sylar in a lose-lose situation no matter which team wins. Skylar will win the NT oppo battle next She has a year or so, but I think skinner comes for her cake on the RS when she graduates. |

There is quite a big difference in talent but Booth makes a lot of it up in being 5 inches taller with a ridiculous wingspan. Now the growth Booth has had in her game since high school is unreal. In Colorado she was called the next Washington and I honestly could not see it however I am starting to. |

Passing stats Stanford Rubin - 2.53 (73.3%) 15 attempts Oglivie - 2.25 (64.3%) 14 attempts Baird - 2.20 (59.6%) 52 attempts Texas Akana - 1.83 (25.0%) 12 attempts Barnes - 1.89 (44.4%) 9 attempts Halter - 2.50 (75%) - 16 attempts Skinner - 2.19 (62.5%) - 16 attempts Wenaas - 1.56 (37.5%) - 16 attempts So it looks like Stanford was not really targeting anyone in particular. Crazy 3 players all had 16 balls served at them. Looking here the position of Wenaas/Barnes should have gotten more balls served at them. |
