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

 

[GringaGopher]

Need to play a lot better soon…

 

[(R)uffda!]

I need to change my prediction.

 

[WayOfTheGopher]

At least their serve receive was a little better.

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

Terrible match. Too predictable. Oregon knew where to block. Error prone. Defense is poor. Need to practice intensively on receiving and passing. Out of position a lot. They have 6 matches left and will be lucky to go 3-3 and likely could be worse.

Today was better than Thursday night but still not good enough to beat a really good Oregon team. The Oregon block killed us tonight and when we did get a spike through the back row defense was strong as well. Julia Hanson was about the only bright spot today.

seems like I have been hearing this for several years, is this getting any better? seems like this should be the easiest part of the game to gain competence in. What accounts for this?
