Michigan won 3-0. MSU may have played even worse than they did in last year's bout against Michigan in Jenison, if that's possible. Passing was probably the...
Passing was probably the low point, with shanked balls and overpasses from almost every MSU passer at some time during the night. ... the game. Sounds like...
... As someone observed last year at this time, every season when we get to early October, the topic of MSU lack-of-passing comes up. ... Which is interesting...
Hard to imagine that a coach would not use a player that is more skilled when and if they are available. Could fatigue enter into the picture? This was...

Livingston was just not a very good passer, to be honest. The use of a DS for her was the obvious move, and it paid big dividends for the Badgers. Most...
Minnesota uses their libero (Gentil) for BOTH the middles and one of the OHs, promarily because their middles don't serve very well. This is, to me, a flaw in...
Uh, liberos cannot serve by rule. That's why the middles serve. If your middles can't serve effectively, you have a far bigger problem than the libero can...
... Liberos cannot serve? ... Again, the libero is not able to serve, only plays defense, sets behind the 10 meter line and can only bump set in front of the...
First of all, that's not what I was saying. I said they use the libero for BOTH the OH and middles, because the middles don't serve well--i.e., because the...

Matt said: [w.r.t. liberos] ... Point granted, w.r.t. serving. Otherwise, they are used exactly like a DS. Back row duty only. Pass and defend. ... IMO,...

My last comments: At no point was I whining or pining for the good old days. All I said in my original message and subsequently was that the rule has changed ...
One thing the Gophers have done this year is to replace different positions in the rotation with the libero during the same game. For example, Gentil is in for...
No doubt fatigue is a major factor although Ashley Pederson had a career night against Michigan I thought her errors[balls sailing and miss-directed were more...

I know UNI won, but did anyone go? Reported attendance was over 1500. How many of those were from Cedar Falls?...
... Well, OK. The DS can still be used, albeit only 6 times. So, use the DS in key serving rotations, if you like. It's still an option. Actually, it did ...
Cacciamani in her senior year became a regular in the back row holding her own as a defender and providing a solid attack from behind the line. Livingston...

Well, if the attendance in Iowa City is true to form, the Hawkeyes draw about 300 per typical Big 10 home match. So, a quick calculation would posit that for...
POINT of ORDER. If the DS subs in to serve for the Middle then the middle must return before the libero can come on the court. So isn't the middle returning a...

Nope. L can enter for anyone, including the DS. When the DS gets back around to the front, the L leaves, the DS enters, and then the MB subs in for the DS. ...
Yes, I was there for that match and when the girl from Mexico got hurt or re-injured herself. Livingston just did not play as I had seen her play at PSU...
