Jaysus F**** I hope all 250 KU fans that packed the arena enjoyed that. Came home we are up 2-0 I guess I need to stop watching and just do stats updates
you and my husband are to blame! He walked in toward the end of the third.

Always enjoy reading your VB comments - but we had so many hitting errors down the stretch in the 4th and then the 5th.I know the ladies played hard and honestly, I thought us being swept was the far more likely outcome. This is disappointing but we did some really nice things. Schaben has AA written all over her. KU just adjusted correctly. Throw in the crowd, some friendly calls, and two long rallies that went their way (after earlier ones were all ours).......I feel far better about the rematch in Ames now compared to 6pm tonight.
Only play I was really mad at us was middle of the 5th when we got a block touch back to them on the left side, came back and we block touched again on the right, they came back a third time and it got to the backrow and it was down. I felt that our backrow was not on their toes for that one.
I feel good about this season, which is an odd thing to say after a tough loss!

It's like you took the thoughts right out of my head. I could have written the same thing you did, word for word. Bolded for emphasis/agreement.
Just wish we could have pulled this one out. ISU has a pattern lately of losing in the first or second rounds in the NCAA's - usually to a host school in the second?The difference in the match was KU went on their runs with Harris in the front row. Less hitting options and no middle blocker. That and Payne is a freak of nature. KU was down to KSU too and roared back against them as well.
I totally agree but you have to admit that match look last night looked as high-quality as some of the elite Big Ten matches I've seen this yearJust wish we could have pulled this one out.

Need to be a top 16 seed and be a host - a win at Lawrence would have been huge!
