[yoteforever]

Maas in in form now. She's is all over the place for the digs

Best libero in the country.....no question about it

Chomp 'Em, Cyclones!!

Thanks for the updates, guys! Good diversion when I look up from my book.

16-14 ISU. Huge service error by Florida. Timeout on the floor.

 

[IcSyU]

18-16 Florida. Florida's made adjustments...we need to counter. Timeout ISU. Callie Rivers is carrying Florida.

 

[Royalclone]

I think we are missing Kaylee's vocal leadership.

 

[IcSyU]

20-18 Florida.

21-18 Florida. Our serve reception the last few minutes has been terrible.

 

[IcSyU]

No leadership on the floor. Everyone is just standing around looking at each other like they don't want the ball hit at them.

23-19 Florida off an 11-4 run. Serve receive is still bad.


Match Point Florida.

 

[IcSyU]

Match Florida.

Terrible job down the stretch with serve reception.

Didn't we lose early to UNI two years ago and to Minnesota early last year? This game would have been different with Hockaday. I'm not worried.

It isn't like Florida or UNI are bad programs. You're going to lose some matches, and we took some time to adjust to not having Hock out there. Be interesting to see how they bounce back tomorrow.

I didn't look it up, so who's tomorrow?

Kentucky.

 

[CycloneErik]

Kentucky.

They any good, or are they a nice rebound match while we work out the new lineup?

Great group of ISU fans here at Qwest Center.
We lost to a very good Florida team. They seemed to scrap and hustle more than we did; since that's kind of what ISU is known for, I'm sure CJL has some things to say to her team.
Ferrell (transfer from Hawaii) was a stud for Florida. Seemed like Fleming (libero for Florida) outplayed Maas.
Kentucky will be a tough match also. Still rather play these teams early than cupcakes.

All 4 teams in the showcase are in the top 15 of the AVCA poll. :wideeyed:

Oh. That's a tough field. Good to be there, but tough field for this adjustment.

Problem is Hockaday is probably done for the season in the opening match. I think just making the NCAA's will be a miracle.

We'll still make the NCAA's no problem. Team is good enough to survive the loss of any one player. Making Sweet 16 or Elite 8 may be more difficult now though.

That was really my point. We lost early games to good teams the last two years, but ended up just fine. With a little time to adjust to playing without RH, they will be just fine.

Yes, and don't forget that Michigan upset Nebraska in a three-set sweep at this same event last year.
