ISU vs UNI: or.........What, what's that? $1 Tickets???

[Sobchakcyclone]

Yes. Bobby has gone bush league again, trying to sell out their arena. Nice.

Why us? Try it with Wichita State and maybe you'll win the conference again. I don't have a great feeling about this one. We play awful on the road, traditionally. Common opponents tell us this could be pretty even, so we might be screwed in how we close out matches. I hope we can get things going early, and really put the pressure on. Take the crowd out of it. We'll see.

Just like FB - it's their superbowl, and they will go "all out" to get the W. Then, they will underperform in their conference match-ups.

I can only see stats so I'm mightily confused. The score was way off because it had 25-23 (UNI) all the way up to 27-24 and then we won 29-27.

 

[Sobchakcyclone]

We take the 1st Set with some extra play, 29-27. There were some real questionable calls in there. No replay or challenge. Great grit and gutty play. We served very well.

Horner completely falling apart to start the 2nd, 0-5. Her sets are killing us.

My Charter carries the game. Grace is looking great, really developing into one our top three play maker.

 

[psyclone51]

Great to see the ladies hang in there and win a tight set - on the road no less - 29-17. Looks like Schaben is kicking butt again. Go 'clones!!

 

[psyclone51]

Following the score and in set 2, our hitting is awful. Can anyone tell me is it our hitting or our setting that is the problem? I find it hard to believe that UNI's blocking is so overwhelming.

Don't watch a lot of VB but this 2nd set has been cray cray

 

[isucy86]

2nd set tied at 35.

 

[BoxsterCy]

Set point. Set point. Set point. Set point. Set point.

 

[LindenCy]

2nd set tied at 35.

Wow.

 

[isucy86]

UNI wins 2nd set 40-38

 

[isucy86]

ISU made a big comeback during the 2nd set. I believe we started set down 7-0. ISU was down at least 5 points most of set, but came back to tie set at 25. ISU had set points a number of times between 25-30 points, then UNI had advantage after 35.

 

[Cynonymous]

That 2nd set was crazy. Even though they lost the set it was an incredible comeback to force UNI to earn it.

 

[Sobchakcyclone]

We were down 8 most of the set, prompting the change at setter. We get all the way back and take a lead at 25-24, then play stupid. Bad serves, bad sets, prompting another setter change.

After those exchanges, you can't afford to lose. Going to 38-40 really hurts. We're deeper, but seem out of shape. The player that will feel it the most for us is Schaben. She's had to be out there. We need players to step up.

 

[Bestaluckcy]

Two great teams going at it. On channel 13-3 in central Iowa, for people who didn't go.

 

[psyclone51]

I am only looking at numbers now, but based on this and what I saw of her last weekend, Miranda was a big get for us in the off-season.

 

[Sobchakcyclone]

We're getting killed by this guy:



or Amy Held, if you prefer.

Tuned in...watching their team and seeing shots of their student section, you couldn't be more right

Five (5!) service errors!!! Ugh!
