Another bright side is that now when people bring up the biggest shelllacking in the tournament finals they won't bring up our 2019 Wisconsin team as much anymore after today.

Wow. Hats off to Texas. Not a consolation but at least we took set two from them? I dunno that I’ve seen a team dominate like that at the end of a season. Well I guess we can say we are #2?

Ten days ago, I'm walking out of the Field House after UW beat Penn State when I remember that Tennessee and Texas was still going on. So I stop in the walkway between the benches and the restrooms/visitor locker room and pull out my phone to watch the end. Tennessee has a lead late in the 4th set. About the time Tennessee is up 22-19, Emily Ehman walks by on her way to the bathroom, and I expect about the time she goes by again, I'll be saying to her "Tennessee just finished off Texas".
And ten days later, here we are. Inexplicable. Amazing.

Pitt can say they didn’t lose to a #2 seed lol (just kidding) My reasoning: Texas beat us and Nebraska, we beat Nebraska, and Nebraska beat Pitt.

And ten days later, here we are. Inexplicable. Amazing. Yeah. It's really kind of odd. I mean that loss to KSU just a few weeks before really wasn't that close. They just started serving bullets - and doing it with low error. Maybe playing Stanford taught them something.

So, perhaps the reason the Badgers lost to Texas was... Texas. I think Kelly admitted that in the post game presser, actually.

I think it's a big consolation. Texas was amazing and Skinner should be MVP of the FF. which she was :-)

They started off pretty hot against Stanford.

My question is did cook watch how they served us off the court Thursday and think - We’re better defensively than Wisconsin. They won’t be able to do that to us.

They won’t be able to do that to us. > They won’t be able to do that to [Nebraska] That is _exactly_ what I thought on Thursday night, and why I'm now a bottle of Don Julio 1942 poorer this afternoon.

Anyone have a time machine that could send me to the parallel world where Tennessee won that Texas matchup? I wanna see what happened.
