WISC takes 1st set 25-19. Wisc 3 aces and putting pressure on Nebraska's serve receive. Wisc hard to block with Rettke around. Pins for Wisc getting a fair number of 1 on 1 attacks.

Wisc takes set 2 25-22. Big difference is serve receive. Nebraska having issues. Interesting statistic, Opp hitting percentage for Nebraska is .145, for Wisc is .197
1st match hitting percentage - Nebraska .376 Wisc .336
Today Nebraska .408 Wisc .329
Interesting that Wisc is being outhit by such a large percentage, yet is losing.

Wisc sweeps Nebraska, 25-21 in the 3rd. Wisc blocking in the 4th was amazing. Overall 8 blocks for Wisc and 4 for Nebraska. .345 hitting for Wisc, .245 for Nebraska. Sort of nice to see Nebraska playing well but not quite good enough. Rather reminiscent of PSU vs Nebraska in the last 4 years.  |

We take care of business next week and we can have a share of the conference title. In that instance, who would get the regional bid?

We take care of business next week and we can have a share of the conference title. In that instance, who would get the regional bid? Who knows? Maybe neither. This is one of those years where everybody has some losses. I have problems with both Pitt and Baylor as neither team has played that many good teams. The fact that PSU beat Pitt early in the season makes me wonder how good they are. PSU has, IMHO, more than likely improved more than Pitt. My understanding is that the B1G champion could possibly be on the outside looking in this year. There's an interesting discussion on Volleytalk, in the Bracketology thread about RPI and it's limitation. One guy was saying, that a weakness re: RPI is that it only deals with wins and losses, not how 'good' the wins or losses are. So how do they fix it? By putting more wins and losses into the formula. An example he gave of how the RPI isn't too swift was that two teams each play a team with an RPI of 15 and 300. One teams beats the RPI of 15 team and loses to the RPI of 300 team. The reverse happens for the other team. YET, the RPI result for both teams is the same. Go figure. On another note, the announce of the Wisc/Nebraska match was saying how tough a schedule Wisc had left. They had to play PSU and then *cough* Rutgers. Was mildly amusing. Edit. Another weakness of RPI, is that losses early in the season, when teams are getting their act together count as much as losses later in the season. Which hurts Wisc. They had some losses early where if they played the teams now, they would take them apart. |

Always nice to see Nebraska get beat twice in a season, but it's especially sweet because the Badgers swept them in both matches. Yaaayyy.
