10-16-17 to 10-22-17 Other matches to watch (updated 21 Oct)

Any surprises on tap for tonight?

Wisconsin takes 1st two sets but Maryland is making them earn it!

I think Coach Rose's way of being sarcastic must have rubbed off on him a little!    I think Maryland's main problem is their defense right now.  I see many balls going down this set that should be at least touched and aren't.

Michigan State takes set one 25-19.  Looked pretty easy for them that set.

WI sweeps MD with a win in set three 25-19.  WI still has issues with their service errors (11).  I think this will come back to bite them in the arse when they play tougher teams like MN an PSU if they continue to have this many SE's a match.

Michigan up early in set two - 12-8
MSU coming back forces Michigan to take a time out - MSU up 16-15
Michigan going on a 5-0 run and now up 20-17 - TO MSU
MSU goes on a 4-0 run and now up 22-21 - TO Michigan
Michigan comes back and takes set two in extra points - 27-25.  1 set apiece.  MSU continues (as they did at Rec Hall) to have problems handling their opponents slide.

Looks like the Ohio State that Penn State played their last two sets against is showing up at MN.  Not a fun match to watch.  They are getting killed so far this 1st set - 14-3

MSU up 5-1 early in set 3 on Michigan (this set starting to looks like set 1) Now 12-6 MSU

MSU 14-6 TO Michigan

MN vs Ohio State - to painful to watch. will give set scores only

MN has a few unforced hitting errors and Ohio State not giving up make it look like a respectable set with MN taking set one 25-15

MSU up 19-12 now in set 3

Texas sweeps Texas Tech.

Michigan goes on a 5-0 run and forces MSU to take their 1st timeout.  MSU 20-17

MSU at set point but Michigan hanging there to force MSU to take their second TO - MSU 24-21

MSU finishes out set three with a kill to take it 25-21.

Ohio State decided that they actually want to play volleyball today.  They are tied with MN at 10 in set 2

Lots of challenges going on in the MSU/Michigan match.  1st Michigan challenges an out call and wins it and then the next point challenges an in call and wins it but on same point MSU challenges a touch and loses it.  Michigan up 5-2 in set 4.

Coming up Kansas vs Baylor.

Ohio State being giving MN more competition but loses set two 25-20

MSU up 15-12 on a challenge of a touch - TO Michigan

MSU wins set four 25-16 to take set 4 and win 3-1 against Michigan.

Kansas up 9-5 on Baylor TO Baylor

MN completes the sweep of Ohio State and takes set three 25-18.

Kansas takes set one 25-14. Baylor up 12-9 in set 2

Baylor is up there in the BIG12 with Kansas in case Texas loses a match or two.

Currently, Baylor is #22 in RPI while Kansas is #12.  Baylor beat BYU earlier in season (they have two top 10 wins).  Both Baylor and Kansas have only one loss in conference (Texas).

Kansas up at the media TO - 15-14

That one and the Texas semi-final in 2010!

Kansas takes set two 25-22 to go up 2-0 on Baylor
