FYI, here are links to an article and to a YouTube video of the BTN special (also available on BTN On Demand).

At about the 25:00 mark, you can see the workout they do on the football field.
There were these take-aways from the match with WI for me:
One was the amazing defensive digs and recovery by the Badgers. I think the video shows the work they do to refine that aspect of their game. They also get balls effectively back into play from these difficult spots, and I would like to know the drills they use to develop skills in hand/arm positioning and body reaction.
Maybe it's coaching of re-positioning to defense in the 6-2. WI always had more people in covering the back court area than Iowa State. Seemed even with Nolan's masterful ability to dig she could not cover the spaces needed and often looked like she was in a sea of space as balls whizzed by. Liberos can be taller and have a longer reach-don't know if it would help. But, WI seemed to have less problem covering areas to control our spikes.
And, to agree with others here was, setting. Back setting more precisely, accurate close net ball positioning made everything WI do more effective.
(Remi is not gone from what I have heard. She will decide for the start of the second semester. And knowing there has been no schollie release, and correct me if I am wrong, made public it seems logical.)
