T-rank's stats currently predict not only a 9-11 team but also a 10-10 team playing on weakling Wednesday.

So do you think it was Iowa's 113th ranked defense that shut down Carr? Or Carr just having his often typical hot or cold shooting displays?

Hmm.... The previous two times this season Penn State won 5 games in a row they proceeded to lose the next game. Hmm.... :unsure:

This is just typical Wisconsin. Good coaching and defense will always keep them competitive no matter what their roster looks like. When you want to write them off, they win games they aren't expected to. Sadly, I think Wisconsin sweeps the Gophers this year. Hope I am wrong.

Yeah, I should have thought that question through before I asked it. It's the recruiting websites of football that flat out tell you if someone is a walk-on. And with basketball, most walk-ons don't get any publicity. Their names just show up on the roster come fall.

Agreed. Perhaps she also doesn't see herself playing volleyball beyond college for that reason. If players want to pursue a pro career, don't they basically have to go to Europe? Or maybe South America? If playing time was number one in importance for every single player, then these big...

Wasn't Dodge pretty much a 9th starter for them? Didn't they sub out both of their OH's in the back row this year? Somebody on Volleytalk posted the passing stats (don't ask me how they figure that) and Barnes was considerably worse than Clark and Dodge on the season. But frustratingly, she...

Wisconsin has the #13, #14, and #30 ranked recruits. Obviously, they'll be extremely good again with what they return. Nebraska has the #21 recruit. But they bring back everyone. I think some people are a little too quick to assume Wisconsin will win the Big Ten crown next year. Penn State...

No one is going to mention free throws? 19 for 19! Team sure has done better at the charity stripe in recent weeks. I don't take any victory over Northwestern for granted. Those buttheads spoiled my bachelor party game at the Barn some years ago. The Gophers were supposed to win that day...

Langford being out again/still is a big loss for the Spartans. But doesn't it seem like every time Michigan State is given a lofty, early preseason ranking they always go on to disappoint in non-conference games?

Wiscy is also closer to home. Maybe she played club or AAU (or whatever they call it) volleyball with some of Wisconsin's current players. Maybe she has friends on the team already. Heck, maybe she would have preferred Wisconsin from the start but they never gave her the invite back then...

Here's builtbadger's prediction on Buckyville: (Hmm...can't figure out how to make bigger...) "71-47 UW. Oregon is a truly awful team." Sorry, built....couldn't resist. Buckyville is fun to read tonight. :D

I have read that women's volleyball gets 12 scholarships. Is that true? Because the Gophers currently have 20 women on the roster then for next year. Are 8 of them walk-ons? Or do many of the women get academic scholarships? Are there partial scholarships?

I think the Gophers over-achieved this year. Didn’t some experts/publications predict them to finish 5th in the Big Ten at the start of the season? And they are a young team when you look at 5 freshmen and sophomores in the starting lineup. Contrast that with 4 seniors and 3 juniors for...

I've watched a lot of college sports and it sure seems like veteran teams win most of the titles. Even the championship teams with fantastic freshmen usually have some key veterans steadying the ship when things get rough. "And he still couldn't win the title." Like it's an easy thing to do...

While the gophers weren't that sharp tonight and looked sluggish at times, I think some people (specifically on volleytalk) underestimate how hyped up teams get when the first place conference team with the really long win streak enters their gym. Ohio State did beat Penn State (3-1) in their...

Why I did very much enjoy the Illinois match! The group I went with...we all left wondering why we hadn't attended a match sooner and agreed that we needed to again. So much better than watching on TV. With Nebraska's lopsided head-to-head series lead, is this the first time the Gophers have...

A very nice guitar indeed. I don't have any natural talent but I like to play as a hobby. Although, it has become increasingly difficult to find the time with a small child terrorizing my household. He wants to try playing too. It appears that not even a professional "cooler" like myself...

Hi, everyone. I want to apologize in advance. I will be attending my first ever Gopher volleyball game tonight. If the Gophers are to lose tonight, I take complete responsibility as the Gophers are currently on a 6 or 7 game losing streak when I am in attendance. But to be fair, those other...

The Gophers do already have 6 outside hitters on the roster and are adding Sheehan. How long is it going to take to know who Hugh's tweet was about? If it was someone newly committed (and not Sheehan's transfer), then why wouldn't that player announce it on social media too?
