I think the Louisville media team secretly revealed the starting line up for tommorow with thier recent practice video lol, Reese and Glock included Oh wow. I don’t know if I would have picked up on that on my own, but I can totally see it.

Usually they decide on the morning of the game or the start of the game so i’m still hoping for a better lineup, well actually this is basically all starters from last year anyway so it’s a great lineup, just hoping Glock can prove us wrong for doubting her

I'm expecting Glock to start but not robins. We'll see. The media team would know better than that imo, and to be fair you could also just say video highlighted every returner who played a major role last year - and bc we're returning the basically whole team, it ends up filling out an entire lineup

As long as Glock knows what she’s doing, cause once she goes down, the whole team goes down with her. She really messed up the team dynamic in come matches last year

BTW, to tie this (the work of the media team) in with the match thread vs Wisconsin and its "fun facts". The main videographer that works with Louisville Volleyball...shoots, edits, produces...is none other than Assad Ali, son of Muhammad Ali, and all around great dude.

Some quick thoughts on tonight’s opening match before I go to bed.
WE WON. I am so proud of this team for coming back after losing the first set. I hope this win is a nice confidence boost for the new members of this squad.
Speaking of which, I was SO impressed with Sofia tonight. She came in and was consistent and a great all-around player. Cabello showed spots of brightness as well, especially in her floor defense. She made some really impressive digs and found her rhythm with the left sides as the match progressed.
EDIT: I’ll also add here that floor defense in general was amazing. Elena Scott you queen. This team was playing such strong defense. If our offense can rise to that same level then this team can be very dangerous.
With the 6-2, I don’t mind us continuing to use it as long as we find ways to get the middles and right sides involved. We need the offense to be more efficient, and that begins with set location/tempo/selection. I think the biggest appeal of the 6-2 is that we will always have either Robins or Maldonado-Diaz in the front, which seems like a great idea for both blocking and attacking.
DeBeer hit negative but it is with a relatively new setter against one of the best blocking teams in the country, so I can’t fault her too much. Kudos to her for finding other ways to contribute (including the match-ending block). It was a real team effort tonight, and it’s nice that one player does not have to carry a super heavy load on this team.
We can improve our passing to get the middles (especially Cresse) going more. The setters need to adjust and iron out those connections with all the hitters, which will come with time. There’s a lot to learn from this match, and hopefully we can learn it quickly because there’s a tough non-con schedule ahead of this team.
Overall a great way to open the season. I feel like compared to last season’s Day 1 we look improved, and having lots of contributors is really reassuring. Go Cards!

dear i say, Scott is a contender for ACC POY, it would be so cool to see a libero get that for the first time and if any body could do it it would definitely be her

CC coaching sweetens the deal on this one but after last night I’m rooting for Louisville this season. Just the vibe alone on this team is fun to watch. They played loose and passionate and have some real leaders in the court. The setting/opp situation will be interesting to watch evolve this season and Cresse… wow, she is a dream MB. She even held her own in the backcourt! Looking forward to watching them!

I like what this team is capable of, even if I’m iffy on the 6-2 as a whole. We’ll see how long it lasts and what the plan B is in future stress tests. No shade to the men before her, but I feel like DBK could be the one to pull it off.

And I’ve also publicly supported Luper for a long time, and Robins is my new YBG. I’d also love to root for a woman coach to win it all so long as Texas isn’t in the mix, and DBK has all the energy that says first woman to win a natty to me.

Louisville is near the top of the list of schools that aren't my own that I'd like to see win it all. Far preferable to Texas, Nebraska, Stanford, etc.
