With as bad as we played, it was 24-24 in the third set and we had a swing to go up 25-24 to get set point. That’s with our two best hitters hitting under .200. It might take till the end of the season, but I still believe this group’s final version is going to the final 4 if not more, though all these tough early matches might mean we’ll have to do it on the road in the regionals. I just had to let off a wee bit of steam up above. I'm ready to settle in for the long haul now. When the kinks are ironed out and The Badgers get rolling, I agree that they'll be there when it matters, one way or another.
GO BADGERS.

I'll have to check the rotation from tuesday. I'm not sure why Sheffield would have left TSC in the front row with the setter for two rotations instead of Franklin. On it's face that doesn't seem like the best option.

On it's face that doesn't seem like the best option. Seems like a no-brainer to have Franklin play L1 if they're running the 5-1... I'd love to hear why he made that choice. It has to be something with to do with the passing formations because there's definitely not a good argument to do it from an offensive standpoint imo |

On it's face that doesn't seem like the best option. Charlie front row with TSC means Franklin is back row, ready to back-row attack; so three setting options. Charlie back row with Frank in front gives her three front row setting options. The rotation was set to give Charlie three options as often as possible? |

It's a relief(?) to see that Texas isn't the only neurotic fanbase with Chicken Little Syndrome.
Personally I thought the Dennis Punzel article was a bit unfair. The Badgers lost in 4 to a legitimate national championship contender, not some cream puff school.
That being said, I would be ok if you guys waited until the 3rd match of the season to figure it all out. K thx bye

It has to be something with to do with the passing formations because there's definitely not a good argument to do it from an offensive standpoint imo Guessing here: they don't have an opposite who stays in and attacks in BR, so, they have Franklin next to Smrek so Franklin becomes the back row attack option: if Franklin is in O1 she is back row option with smrek in front row. Franklin has shown even when opponent knows she’s getting ball in left front she still scores! So i think we will see some experimenting with O1/O2 options |

Charlie back row with Frank in front gives her three front row setting options. The rotation was set to give Charlie three options as often as possible? I mean, I think you’re saying that there were three points of attack instead of two, but Franklin is, like most hitters, a lot less effective in the back row than the front (Didn’t she actually foot fault one time!) In the mean time you have two rotations with an inexperienced OH as one of only two FR options. All the opposing server had to do is put Franklin on the floor or otherwise occupy her and the block basically knows to go one way of it’s a good pass and the other if it’s a bad pass. I would have preferred TSC have two other hitters drawing the block and Franklin deal with being one of two for two rotations. That feels more balanced to me in attack. I should compare efficiency when different rotations were in serve receive. |

Things to think about: last year Franklin starts LF (4) next to smrek: so this year same thing only instead of senior in other position its a freshman this year or Ozal. And its a 5-1 this year! Texas runs there 5-1 last year (versus wisc) with Skinner next to opposite. So texas used similar strategy last year to win NCAA that Wisc put into practice against louisville the past eve! |

Well, except you need the personnel at other positions that Texas had to replicate it. They did not have a freshman at the other OH who was part timing the last year as a track star. Orzol maybe more comparable to Wenaas, that's true, but for winning this match it seems an odd choice unless the Orzol scratch was late. Sheff has never shown an unwillingess to unwind a system if the personnel weren't there to run it. Also, wasn't Skinner typically hidden in SR when in the back row to free her up to swing from the BR? The badgers don't have that choice with Franklin. Like I said, I have to go back and watch what they were trying to do, but when watching it live it did make the attack seem quite unbalanced and predictable as the match wore on. |

Why the panicking ? It’s one game they played a top 10 program,they will be fine ! I think the big concern is that with this loss it looks entirely possible that Wisconsin starts the season 0-3. If that happens, it would mean that for Wisconsin to have a hope of being a regional host for the NCAA tournament they will need to almost run the table in B1G conference play. I don't think anyone is going undefeated in B1G conference play this year. There are too many good teams in the conference. I think it is critical that Wisconsin win at least one of these next two matches against Texas and Stanford. The good news is that it is doable. Texas will be playing their first match of the season, and Stanford won't be as intimidating without Kipp and Baird. Hopefully Orzol will be back healthy this weekend. |
