2024 PSU WVB Thread

[Nittering Nabob]

A heads up. Weeks/months ago, without paying any attention to the date, I agreed to my wife's request to attend a play with another couple this evening. I'll certainly miss the Pitt - Louisville semi. And I may miss the early parts of the PSU - Nebraska semi.

First Referee says "Good Call"

 

[CoolBean]

Luisville switched to 5-1, won set 2 to even the match....

 

[CoolBean]

Louisville keeps mostly 5-1 wont set 3, up 2-1, came back from down 19-23. 1 set away from the Final at home.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Pitt had four set pts in set three but failed to put Louisville away.

Pitt 25-21 23-25 27-29

 

[CoolBean]

Anna DeBeer is down at start of set 4, twited her right ankle, can't walk...similar to Handcock back in 2012....

Without DeBeer 14K, 3B, Louisville is in trouble!

 

[LionsAndBears]

Louisville now without their best hitter. Debeer out with an ankle injury in 4th set.

 

[bdgan]

Rooting for Louisville but Pitt is #1 for a reason.

 

[MtNittany]

Looking like sPitt is on the ropes.

 

[EDHOLLAPSU]

Crazy match I’m pulling for Louisville because I hate Pitt and we match up better with Louisville

 

[Bwifan]

This match is insane ... lville without DeBeer playing so tough

 

[LionsAndBears]

Crazy match I’m pulling for Louisville because I hate Pitt and we match up better with Louisville

Agreed on Lville being a better match up.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Louisville takes set 4 25-17, wins 3-1!

 

[OhioLion]

Louisville put on a clinic!
That was impressive.

Louisville wins, takes down Pitt.

 

[bdgan]

Cresse was awesome as a middle hitter for Louisville. PSU could use more of a middle threat like that.

 

[CoolBean]

Louisville beat Pit 3-1, will be in the Final.....

LFG PSU

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Wow, I really thought Pitt would win the 1st semi (before the match).

And I got home in time to watch PSU.

She’s huge.

Pitt blew it in the third set, blew 4 set pts!

 

[CoolBean]

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Pitt blew it in the third set, blew 4 set pts!

wow. They've been excellent in those situations this season.

 

[EDHOLLAPSU]

Gotta love Pitt choking lol. Im kind of shocked though. Pitt was so dominant all season.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

Let’s get this thing started.

 

[Bwifan]

Based on the pre game show I am not sure how PSU has any chance of winning..Been nothing but how good Nebraska is...

 

[LionsAndBears]

LET'S GO! WE ARE!!

 

[LionsAndBears]

Gotta keep feeding Jurevicius. She's been the hot hand.

 

[LionsAndBears]

Early on unforced errors and bad placement by the setters is hurting us.

 

[bdgan]

Too many mistakes to beat a team as good as Nebraska. Mursik 2 misses long. Three out of bounds serves. Net violation.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

F’in serving.

 

[LionsAndBears]

Cmon let's finish this 1st set!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

damn. PSU was up 23-21, and Nebraska took the 1st set, 23-25. Not a great finish to the set for PSU

 

[OhioLion]

Service errors!!!!

 

[ElwoodBlues]

Is this a Nebraska broadcast?

 

[bdgan]

Is it just me or are we setting the same side 70% of the time?

Murzik is having a tough night so far. Need to get Hannah going. Mendleson has really struggled lately.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU is getting blocked left and right in set 2.

 

[bdgan]

PSU is getting blocked left and right in set 2.

Murzik hitting .100. No other weapons except Jurevicius. Hannah not a factor. Nothing from the middle.

 

[EDHOLLAPSU]

PSU is getting blocked left and right in set 2.

Ya this is Pitt and Wisconsin all over again. They will keep making the same mistakes over and over again. We are going to get swept. Their minds are all over the place.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU drops set 2, 18-25. Nebraska leads 2-0 in the match.

 

[OhioLion]

Someone tried to explain here last weekend that service errors were okay because of the placement factor.
Hitting the final two points into the net sure is bad placement.
I don’t see a backend sweep.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Set 3, like Set 1, PSU had a 23-21 lead. Unlike Set 1, PSU finishes to win 25-23. Nebraska leads the match, 2-1
