Some surprises here, but it is a huge team. https://gophersports.com/news/2024/12/4/volleyball-four-gophers-named-to-all-big-ten-teams 2024 BIG TEN VOLLEYBALL POSTSEASON HONORS Player of the Year: Sarah Franklin, Gr., OH, Wisconsin Setter of the Year: Bergen Reilly, So., Nebraska Libero of the...

Sure, but it's a much easier path to the top 10 if Stella is great. Otherwise they are left needing an opposite, better passing and a middle attack. And a healthy Wucherer. That's a much bigger ask.

As much as I like Mel, if Stella isn't an elite (better) setter, this program is in deep trouble.

She has always been very inconsistent imo

Hard to believe Penn State is going to be co-champion. Amazing what money can buy.

Well, other than the set 2 lead, they didn't mess around.

When you don't lose. Because Illinois is not very good.

I know she's battling stuff but hard to believe they'd go into that match saying "you play 3 sets max."

Meanwhile, what happened to Wookie? Sat, literally, the 4th set. Also, Illinois isn't very good.

Because I haven't really been paying attention: https://bigten.org/wvb/standings/ Nebraska 17-0 Penn State 16-1 Wisconsin 15-2 Purdue 13-4 Oregon 12-5 USC 11-6 Illinois 10-7 Minnesota 10-7 Washington 9-8 Michigan 7-10 Indiana 6-11 Ohio State 6-11 UCLA 6-11 Iowa 4-13 Maryland4-13 Michigan State...

9-1 v B1G with RPI below them, 1-5 above. Overall, 15-1 and 2-8.

Two more interesting stats: Shaffmaster only served 7x and Hansen only 9x. In contrast, Grote 14x, Palabiyik 17x, McGhie 17x and Acevedo (7 aces and only ONE error!) 34x. And one more: 13 assists for Z.

Stolen from VT: Minnesota hitting errors by set: Set 1 - 1 Set 2 - 13 Set 3 - 0 Set 4 - 1

Does anyone think this team is improving? Just curious.

This is going to Bugly with a capital B.

Michigan #33

Season is headed south. Good thing they still have matches in Lincoln and Madison. Cupcakes.

I need to change my prediction.

I'm calling it now. I predict the Gophers win this one. Because it's that kind of a season.

Maybe just maybe Landfair received WAY too much "credit" for how poorly they played last year. They are a solid top 25 team. They are NOT even close to a top 16 team. Btw, they are now 0-3 against teams I'd consider their peers -- Purdue, Washington and USC. Their win over Wisconsin was against...
