I think it's usually around top 50, but the committee doesn't just use RPI for selections, KPI is also being used this year along with other criteria.

We didn't drop so that's good. PSU dropped 11 for their loss to MSU but Purdue only dropped 3 for their loss to Illinois? Interesting...

To what end? Make the tournament? Is that even a big deal at this point? Maybe they need to miss the tourney and eat some more humble pie to get their heads on straight. Smh. Just frustrated right now and I hate hate hate losing to Wisconsin and their arrogant fans.

"Dispirited and in disarray"? Huh? Completely disagree with most of what you just said. I thought they looked cohesive and engaged as a team, and having fun. The Gophers came out strong yesterday. More middle attacks, more aggressive swings, better serving, good blocking. Second set saw MSU...

Nothing was done. SMH. Very poor coaching choice there.

PSU did not play well. Markley had an off night and was eventually pulled and Podraza set middle like once. Those two things were a difference maker in their match against us.

Last year's Landfair and this year's Landfair are not the same player. She is not doing well in the backrow this year, she was decent last year. Dont know what is going on

Yes, this! This is what the Gophers are lacking. They just need one player to step up and not commit errors to close out sets.

We will have a middle game once Shaffmaster is gone. Shaff has a lot of strengths but she's had 3+ years to learn to set the middle more and it's just not happening. She either doesnt trust her middles or she doesnt trust herself to do it well often. She also hasn't had great passers to help...

I'm really appreciating these interviews and media coverage

I think he's talking about Booth.

I do. I thought we looked good. We applied a lot of pressure to this young Nebraska team, more than any other team has so far. I thought KCook and co prepared this team really well. Our block was on, we neutralized most of their hitters, it was their defense, and our lack of, that was the...

This is RPI? Penn State at 6?

Different team makeups, different personalities. I don't know. Shaff and Landfair are the common denominator for the last few years of the teams so I'm guessing Landfair's laid-back personality along with Shaff's more steady demeanor don't necessarily make for dynamic teams? It's really hard to...

IMO Landfair is a physically gifted volleyball player who seems to not have a competitive bone in her body. I'm thinking of all the competitive people I know, myself included, and there is no way I would ever give so little effort when I want to win. Like I just dont think its possible for a...

Landfair and Wurcherer want 6 ro experience because they have pro aspirations and you need to be able to pass at the pro level.

What I hope Cook is doing now is compiling stats form the non-conference and using that to make his line up for B1G play. Hitting %: Landfair .123 for the season so far Minatee .174 Hanson .182 Wurcherer .236 Davis .314 Grote .331 Awoleye .368 Hitting Errors: Landfair - 45 Wurcherer - 38...

That's harsh. I don't think Hugh is pulling any strings, KCook seems like he's his own man and will do as he thinks is best. He said on Thursday that he is letting the team try to work things out on their own in out-of-conference play and may make adjustments come conference play. It's been...

The other pro volleyball league starting is LOVB and they have a market in Madison. That one is more of a grassroots thing with partnering with local clubs and current NCAA players. Still dont know how that one is going to run or when it starts. It's also rumored that PVF will have a team in...

I don't know if I necessarily agree with that. I know some coaches like to schedule tough at the beginning of the season to see where they are, but are we really gaining that much? IMO, I think it hurts us in the long run more than helps (record-wise). Especially for the level that we're at...
