Since when were the Gophers the clear-cut superior volleyball team to the Badgers? Was this when Wisconsin was in the Final Four in 2014 or lost in the National Championship game in 2000, 2013, and 2019? Or when John Cook was the Badger coach for 7 seasons before heading to Nebraska? Except...

A very entertaining match! Tough to get the ball on the floor against Purdue. And to think they'll rematch again right away tomorrow. Too bad Appiani transferred but what do you do? The Gophers may only have two DS players listed on the roster now but Wenaas, like Rollins, was also a...

I had it wrong. Indiana doesn't have a game, not Illinois. Northwestern also has a bye that mid-week. How about the Gophers go to Northwestern instead of Nebraska then? They are only scheduled to play once, as of right now, and that's at Williams arena.

I can't wait for Saturday. And I can't wait to see all the new gopher players in action. I still think Nebraska is the main threat to rain on Wisconsin's parade. Nebraska returns nearly everyone and easily has the overall talent to match Wiscy. Plus some guy named Cook. Tiffany Clark was a...

Looks like the Wisconsin @ Penn State game that was postponed has been rescheduled. Barry Alvarez must have thrown his weight around to make sure Wisconsin wasn't cheated out of an easy victory game. :sneaky: Oh, and Rutgers @ Penn State today looks like a makeup game as well. Teams with byes...

Do you think any of the "postponed" games will ever be made up? I was just looking at the schedule, and if ESPN is correct, there are only 3 games scheduled next week between Monday and Friday. That means 8 teams have mid-week byes.

What a disappointment. But it was still a beauty to watch. Maybe someday it will be the Gophers up by 40 on a Badger team. A person can dream, can't they? *sigh*....

On the bright side, with Rutgers struggling of late, there might not be any ranked teams left to play on the road for the Gophers. Of course......will the other "lesser" teams also take them to the woodshed every road second half? I guess that's some Nebraska game intrigue.

Looking at 247sports, Michigan has 30 consensus 4 and 5 star recruits in the last 2 recruiting classes. The gophers have 2 total. That might have something to do with it. I hope so too.

If somebody needed any bigger indication that a person was just flat out a below average coach, that was it. I mean....what coach nearly loses a game of 5-3 after having a large lead? If Oturu bolts for the draft, next year is going to be very, very ugly, IMO.

I'm pretty sure the NIT only takes teams with winning overall records.

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...
