Personally I was more disappointed in individual performances with some of the players than this team as a whole. I have posted this before. Hugh said that not every ranked player will play to their ranking. Think we clearly witnessed that this season. Very few pins will become very good...

Found this article on The Portal before and after COVID interesting.... https://coachingvb.com/on-the-portal/

One thing I noticed too is how Shaff would start out a match so many times settind the middle and then pretty much go away from it the rest of the match. She has been the starter for four years and I just absolutely do not see the progress in her game. Fans keep saying because of the passing...

One of my biggest questions about this game was our Head Coach and why his lack of decisions to make a change (large or small). All season we saw a coach willing to quickly make changes to a lineup to try and get a spark or two going. Look at the Indiana match when he pulled Wucherer not too...

And you would think a Coaching Staff, especially the HC, would take some responsibility for the performance of certain players. If there are no injuries, fans want to see players happy with their performance and, if not, certainly IMPROVE THROUGHOUT THE SEASON.

Thank you Grote and Murr for an outstanding season to add to your resumes. I have absolutley no idea where this program is with scholarships. If it is possible, let the REBUILDING BEGIN!

After an extremely poor showing by this Gopher team against Creighton, if you DON'T WANT TO PLAY FOR MINNESOTA THAN PLEASE DO US ALL A FAVOR AND TRANSFER!

We will be down to the top 16 after today's rounds. SEC 4 out of 8 still in (Florida-Auburn-Texas A&M-Georgia are out) BIG all 5 still in PAC all 5 still in ACC 3 out of 5 still in (Miami Fl-Florida State are out) Big 12 4 out of 7 still in (Kansas-Iowa State-Baylor are out) Sun Belt all 4 out...

I totally agree....she just cannot improve her setting. This is why Hanson should be playing today. She can ADJUST to Shaff's setting like Grote can. Both Landfair and especially Wucherer (for other reasons too) will struggle. We need our pins to perform today.

Onto the FINAL Eight..... https://msubobcats.com/news/2023/12/2/womens-volleyball-still-playing-cats-advance-to-nivc-great-eight.aspx

Third set Davis hits right into the block...yikes! Awoleye missed a block and Gophers down 4-2. Up to Grote and Landfair to win this set with Wucherer struggling and no Middle offense. We continue to serve tough. This set starting out like the first....score now 6-6. Wucherer's game just...

So far Minnesota really serving tough. We are having a lot of success serving their libero. Our block needs to develop better in this match. Landfair is now having much success serving. Gophers up set two 12-4. Gopher contingent up and loud with a 17-7 lead. Right side block with Grote is...

First set and Gophers up 23-15. Utah's middle scoring while Grote is on fire for the Gophers both serving and hitting. Utah serving Z and had a 6-0 run. Serve was going to Z when she came in but Utah served it into the net instead and Gophers win first set 25-17. No middle game for the...

Anybody else catching any of these matches? Penn State did not appear on top of their game vs. Yale. As expected Wisconsin basically did not have any competition in their first match. Purdue looked really good. I am expecting Nebraska to easily win today. Here's hoping the Gophers can...

Happy to announce that Montana State won their first match vs Pacific yesterday. Here is a link to their first time ever in a post season match and coming out with a victory. This match can be seen On Demand with a ESPN+ Subscription...

What is interesting are the commits to Wisconsin who (outside of the setter recruit) more than likely will not get playing time next year. Now, did they know that at the time they committed? While the Gopher program was relying on a starting Libero to remain committed and Booth and Wenaas not...

Just letting you know that the most recent match (3-4 days ago) between our two former Gophers is available on TVF Voleybol TV on YouTube with a FREE subscription.

Of course there are no Gophers playing in this, but the Houk's have taken their Montana State team to their first Post Season. Some of those on their roster are from Minnesota. Below is a tribute article to that accomplishment and the website to the NIVC Tournament that might interest some of...

Copied over from another forum Thursday and Friday times listed for all upcoming Thursday and Friday matches on ESPN+. _____________________________ I realize this is probably linked somewhere else, but for my TV viewing planning, I just wanted it all in one easy spot. (All EST) Just...

Norah Sis their leading OH is back in the lineup. She averages 3.82 K/Set and their other OH Ava Martin 3.62. I am reading that both are pretty decent in digging the ball too. Sis is a Junior and Martin a Sophomore. We did well in our match earlier this season holding Martin to a .182...
