Group prayer, Baylor is private Christian universityNever gave up. Tough match with both teams making awesome plays. Wonder what the situation was on the floor with both teams in unity about something was?
I hear people at state schools pray too.Group prayer, Baylor is private Christian university
That was a really good match. It was a grind and these two teams kept going at each other. That was a hard fought win by the Gophers!Great effort getting a win without playing their best. Could have caved multiple times. Mental toughness. Lots of courage. Very impressive.
Nice gesture. Hopefully they were sensitive to the folks not of Christian background but other faith as well.Group prayer, Baylor is private Christian university
What about that ol' cliche about it being tough to beat a team 3 times in one season? So you're saying there's a chance?!Yes Wisconsin is a top 4 seed so they earned the right to host a regional. Will be a tall order for the Gophers to beat Wisky but anything can happen I guess.
Pitt also swept upstart, unseeded Kansas, who had (upset?) unseeded Oregon and then upset seeded Creighton in Omaha.Brief recap of today's action. Tournament has largely become an ACC (3-0 today) and Big Ten (4-2) affair. Louisville, Pittsburgh and GA Tech all had straight set impressive wins - Wisconsin and Nebraska won easily as well. Purdue continues to be the cardiac kids – down 14-10 in the fifth set, they rallied for the win. The other winner (besides MN) was #2 seed Texas who squeaked by #15 Washington after being down 2 sets.
The Wisconsin–MN and Louisville-GA Tech matchups on Saturday guarantee at least 1 ACC and 1 Big Ten team in the final four. And Purdue-Pitt and Nebraska-Texas should be competitive matches. Big Ten has a chance to send 3 of 4 teams to the finals.

None of these is wrong."The Gophers are too thin in the back; they aren't aggressive enough on their kill opportunities; they can't pass; they have no offense from their middles; they're no good on first contact; they don't have enough fire; they don't put on enough pressure with their serves; they depend too much on one player; they don't set well; they can't cover tips; the coach is too resistant to change."
This game is just gravy. We made it as far as we should have; which is a great season.Handing them the set with so many tips instead of full swings
Hear! Hear! The only match of the night to be only 3 sets. THAT is embarrassing.Disappointing to get swept by Becky.....
