So warm-ups definitely weren't an indicator of how Carly was going to do last night to say the least... The first set was a little shaky, to be expected. After that... One of the reasons Sarah had a career high and Badger record in kills is because she was getting the best balls she's received from a setter since she came to Wisconsin. You knew when the set was put up Sarah was getting a kill. It was really beautiful. The foremost experts on Wisconsin volleyball, all on this forum, have assured me that Carly Anderson is a terrible setter, so I am not going to get gaslit by your "truth" and "observation-based" 'facts' that you put forth. The fact that a hitter got kills is due to a variety of factors, sets being one of them. Being hot, bad defense, short block (ahem), etc. I'm glad you all were impressed. Placement has not been great. Slides and middle are awfully inconsistent. She ended up setting Sarah high balls...same set at the church gym, bless your hearts. She is not a great setter "proof" be damned.

I think it's a minority of voices who have been over worried about Carly. She did well in this match. Badgers can be way better. Not even close to touching their ceiling yet. A very loud, insistent, quick to judge and quick to denounce minority. Or...people who know setting who have set at a high level who can chart set accuracy, as opposed to fans on a chat board who have literally never played or coached.

How awesome is it to have a backup setter who was a stud at a different school come in and ooops set Sarah, a TOTAL BOSS, her best hitting night of her career? It is awesome to be a fan of Wisconsin volleyball. Okay mom

https://www.tiktok.com/@annasm2_/video/7416029891898002693 The song in that clip is hopefully a hint that she's gonna be OK, but it wouldn't surprise me if she were to sit the next match or two. Yeah, at least we have Devyn to take her spot hopefully. We only have 6 days until the first B1G big road test at MN. Kind of snuck up on me. It's one of the key games for the big ten championship race. I feel like 2-3 losses in B1G wins the title this year or a share of it more likely this year. Getting ahead of myself though, will enjoy the 2 games in town this weekend first.

She is not a great setter "proof" be damned. It worked. It got us through a match against a decent team with something to prove against a local rival. As of this time last year, it wasn't clear there would even be an option capable of that. Now there is at least one. I think this is a good development. No one is saying she will be challenging for the starting setter position if Charlie stays healthy.

After looking at it again, it looks more like she's getting acupuncture than surgery. Those green things on her knee look like needles.

The green things look to me like 'arrows' added on top of the original video, pointing the viewer towards what we're supposed to look at, the incision where the needle/aspirator went in. We need an orthopedist to regularly read VT and tell us what we're looking at, and what wraps and devices they're wearing and using are used for!

They are fixed in place to locations on her knee and don't float with camera jitters and zoom like you'd expect with a superimposed image. Green plastic finger holds on needles of some sort I'd guess Her look and music isn't about the injury but her fear of or discomfort with the needles needed for this ongoing treatment. Forced to guess I'd say accupuncture, but could be some other form of localized stimulation. Honestly I have no idea what's going on!

You are correct - it is just acupuncture which is typical for treatment and recovery, players do that even when they’re not in serious pain as a form of recovery. Likely nothing to be worried about

Likely nothing to be worried about I've had acupuncture a half dozen times, and it wasn't done in brightly lit 'common' areas. (And it doesn't hurt.) Even if it is acupuncture, there's also pretty clearly a small incision, with a purple dot put there by a doctor/nurse, indicating 'this is the knee to make the incision on' (a common practice).

Whew. So glad I came back to this thread so that I can read about a backup setter, on short notice, setting someone to a career high in kills, and being criticized. Way to go, fun people! Now are you the same people who wanted to try a 6-2 also? She's a backup setter. She performed her role as expected.

What's hilarious is how sensitive the critics are about being called out for being critics. It's always the bullies who hate being bullied.

In other news, there was a fun article that includes an interview of when John Cook played pickup basketball at the Shell (about to be torn down).

The standard of performance often demanded on threads all over this board is unrealistic. If the posters had to perform in conformance with similar standards in the real world, many of them would fall flat on their faces under the weight of the pressure. I stand guilty as charged.
The Badgers have been bedeviled by injuries, but are getting better and winning matches in spite of it. Style points will have to wait; I'll take the W.
GO BADGERS
