Nebraska thread

Okay heres a trivia question....of sorts.

What does a guy do who lives in St. Louis, drives 17 hours to projects in San Antonio Tx. spending 21 weeks then drives 29 hours from San Antonio to Leesburg VA. spends 3 weeks, then drives 14 hours back to St. Louis getting a week off to himself before another project?

Takes off from St. Louis Thursday morning driving 8 hours to Lincoln NE. to watch the womens volleyball team take on Nebraska, Illinois and Western Michigan.

Go Flyers!!!!

Bummer, I hoped to read about an upset this morning. I did receive some text messages from Beckystxa last night saying that we needed to get Lindsay involved more

In that regards Coach said after the game that NE nutralized Lindsey and UD needed to get more from the OH Hitters to open it up for Lindsey. One thing he pointed out is that they have very limited time to prepare for these matches and are trying things during the sets. After next weeks tourney UD will be able to get back to regular practice sessions.

All in all I felt the team met expectations against NE especially against in a hostile environment. I felt it was important we not get swept or beaten down like Minn did.

The first set was unreal. What a comeback. Great confidence builder for the ladies. The two things I believe that killed Dayton's bid for an upset; 1. NE's serving rotation is where they would either establish a lead or come from behind, 2. their libero/DS was unreal. Had she not dug out the shots just before hitting the floor the score would have been quite different. In the last set alone I counted 5 digs she got that most had counted as a point for UD. She covers the court like no one else. Give us those 5 points and its a different ball game.

But this is why we play this tough a schedule. Gotta see what we are made of and one area no one can question is "heart". Our passing needs to improve and I believe it will as Jesse adjusts to our hitters. Sheff pointed out that Lindsey and Becky both have entirely different patterns and need the ball differently as does Yvonne and Megan. Night and Day.

I was pleased with the effort, as the ladies held their own. After the first set comeback everytime Dayton started a small run the natives became restless. For the most part the NE fans came away impressive with Dayton and the Omaha press referred to Dayton as an Elite team.

Speaking of which, I did seek out Mike at the mike, well he was just about to leave and introduced myself and appologized for coming down on him so hard and expressed my support. Like I have said my only complaint was the mid major label which he acknowledged was something he had picked up over time but he too will refrain from using it.

Once again Mike did the broadcast solo, as Mandy couldn't get to NE....school comes first especiall for a med student.

Okay, so now its Illinois #2 in the rankings. Basically these are the same two teams that met last year in the NCAA. Minus Kacie of course.

I think the team did an unreal job of improving from the last Top 10 team we played in MN. We've got a ways to go, but we improve 1/2 as much between last night and today at 4:30 CST, and we will give ILL a nightmare. As we were walking out, about 1/2 the team was standing at the door and I said something like "good job, now go get Illinois" and in unison they responded. "Third times a charm." Gotta love this team. They will BRING IT.

Passing is still one of our top areas to work on. Sheff's comment on df.com says it all...we just had too many attacks "out-of-system" which means the pass took the setter out of her position at the net and limited who whe could set to. Another area is the setter-hitter relationships. Time will help that too. And there was improvement from last week. We can beat non-Top 10 teams with so-so timing between the hitters and Jess. We can't beat Top 10 teams unless this improves. We gotta get Lindsay going. She's our best player. And the team simply hasn't had much time to work on offense. Sheff has mentioned they need more practice time to get the confidence between all hitters and the different sets to each hitter down.

So we take the positives and realize this is a JOURNEY. The destination is what we keep our eye on...not the mis-steps along the way.

BEST PLAY LAST NIGHT: Happened twice. Backrow made a great pass to Jess. In the front row was Jess, Becky and Amanda. Becky swings out right to hit a slide. The NE blockers follow her. Jess reads the blockers. Jess sets it left to 5'10" Amanda. Amanda has one-on-one blocking with NE's best player, 6'5" Lindsay Licht --- 7" TALLER THAN Amanda. Amanda goes down the line both times for the kill.

It was a beautiful thing!

Set Win Pct based on deficits...

That win in the first set, after being down 20-12, is the first time this year that the girls have come from 8 points down to win a set (6 previous attempts). They didn't do it at all in 2009 or 2008. In 2008, we came back from a 6 point deficit once, out of 25 times. In 2009, we came back from a 7 point deficit 4 times, out of 17. Looks like a good thing in that we are able to come back from larger deficits as the years go on. Maybe we can grab another set from 8 points down again...it'd be nice.

From the opposite side, we do well at the 5 point lead mark. 11-1 this year, 60-4 last year, and 40-6 in 2008. Undefeated at 6 point mark in 2009 and 2010 (so far), where in 2008 we had to have an 8 point lead to be undefeated.

Got to get our big middie going. Hitting .000 won't cut it.

Thanks for the great info!

Have to agree that we don't want Lindsay hitting .000

Jess just needs to set each starting hitter long enough that she can memorize exactly how they want it. Then in a game she can look around before each point and remember where the set needs to be.

I agree with Beckystxa, the losses don't matter. The experience of playing against top teams truely lets them know where they need to improve. It would be nice to win one of these two matches but it is far more important to be ready in the tournament.

Volleyball is considered a sport for tall people and it is obvious why people think this way. But great liberos and DS's are worth their weight in gold. The offense is dependent upon their passing the ball accurately to the setter on the serve receive. There is an art to quickly reading a block and moving into the power alley but still being able to reach any dump or roll shot.
