Shocks v Hogs

[The Mad Hatter]

Kelsey has served pretty well all year. Probably the strongest part of her game. However, in my view she is a huge question mark on the back row. But she is still young and she can and, hopefully, will improve.

I don't disagree with you that there are still questions about how well she can replace Jackie on the back row, but this match, she actually matched Jackie's stats (if gametracker is to be believed) who also had 17 digs and 1 serve receive error. She still needs to demonstrate consistency, but hopefully coming up big in a NCAA match is a building point for her.

Valley is 3-0 so far.

3 unseeded Valley teams move into the final 32. Pretty sure that is probably the best 1st round showing ever for the MVC.

Beginning to think the top of the Valley anyway was a little undervalued on the National stage. BCS bias will, of course, generally lead to that more often than not.

I still maintain that parity in Women's D-1 volleyball is at a pretty high level and growing. Sure seems to be a lot of good Volleyball players around the country.

Easily top 10 Shocker events I've ever attended.

Let's hope it plays second fiddle to what happens tomorrow!

BTW, you and your fellow Shocker fans represented very well. I think you made an impression on the Arkansas announcers.

Shocker fans here are incredible and hats off to the beakers who also got behind our girls.

Doc's heart softens for ONE day.

I think the Arkansas announcers were pretty much in a state of Shock. I don't think they thought there was anyway in hell the Shockers would be able to come back to beat the Razorbacks. The Arkansas coach also was clearly frustrated and pretty much at his wits in.

The problem with dig stats is all the measure is quantity. They don't measure the degree of difficulty nor the resulting quality of the pass. However, I know Lambo grades all that out. Right now Kelsey is no where close to Jackie. OTOH, Jackie has had by far her best year as a Shocker his year IMHO. So the jury is still out on how Kelsey will progress.

Gotta know rules about bands and evolvement at NCAA events. Ku band completely unsportsmanlike

Someone on VT did a tournament simulation using point probabilities based on Pablo. WSU beat UA and KU.

He was pretty dang close in his prognostication:

Wichita State over Arkansas 22-25 ,25-19 ,22-25 ,25-20 ,16-14

Mr. Softee has left the building.

One thing I'm pretty sure is the case is that bands are not to play during live action on the playing field. What's going on, Doc.

Can't complain about the results though. When you're talking to ADES, ask him about the VB/W-BB only facility.
Nice to hear the KU fans cheering for WSU.

Watched the 4th set at work, listened to the 5th set on the radio on the way home. Wow, what a comeback ladies! Unbelievable!!!

Might as well send the Hawkies home tomorrow crying! Go Shocks!




Count me also as disappointed that the postgame show never made it to the internet. Unbelievably amateur.

Count me disappointed it didn't make the radio air waves. The internet feed was so far behind the video stream I had no choice but to listen to the Arkansas announcers on the video stream. They weren't horrible but when you pronounce Sanders as Saunders and Banwart as Bahnwart and call Gaby Urban as Taylor Urban, etc. your preparation may not have been as complete as it should be.

Was indeed a great comeback by the Shox. Hopefully, the WSU fans get behind KU at AFH as the KU fans got behind WSU. Would be a pretty entertaining game to see WSU v KU.
