(VB) Ongoing Volleyball Thread

Do you think Auburn is a step up in class over the three ranked teams we beat and Wisconsin? I cannot agree with that.

 

I think he meant that Florida is a step up in class for Auburn from the schedule they've played so far.

 

My bad.

 

Is the game telvised?

 

Gatorzone says SEC Network +, which for me means I'll have to watch online.

Also, in response to the interesting debate about strategy above, I think the simple solution is to just kick ass and take names, which we will do.

 

SEC Network+ at 7:30 PM ET. You can also follow with the match stats:

It’s pretty easy to view sec+ on your tv.

 

Two bad sets by Muff to start

 

Terrible setting in the first set. Do we have anyone other than Muff?

 

Auburn wins set 1 25-20. Terrible passing and very sloppy hitting for the Gators, along with 4 service errors. Hit .118 to their .265. Only 10 kills and 6 attack errors. Auburn passing was much crisper. They need to get it together and rally back.

 

Gators record against the barners-54-2.

 

The announcers said Florida had won 19 straight sets against Auburn until Set 1 tonight. Gators look awful right now and it's not just the setter, IMO.

 

They look bad because they are having to adjust to bad sets

 

Looks like an Aub ass kicking of us tonight !!That injury last week seems to have sent us into a tailspin…

 

Not true. Are you actually watching the match? We have a bunch of overpasses from the back line, a ton of mishits on easy kill shots where they hit long, wide or into the net. They are getting dominated on the frontline. This is not only on Muff. There's simply too much talent on this team for them to be playing this poorly. And if it wasn't for 11 service errors from Auburn, it would be even worse. They can still get it together and win this much because of the talent differential. But we just have to play better.

 

I’m watching. They are playing bad overall, but it starts up front with the sets. We would have won the first set going away with a decent setter

 

Agree. They still look out of focus and not reacting well. Kennedy Martin isn't playing well, Victoria is hitting -.250 and can't get a rally of 3+ points going. Not sharp at all.

 

I know the easy thing is to blame one player, but I just don't see it that way. It's a team game and our TEAM is playing their worst match of the season. I'm hoping they can rally and win it because the talent is there. They just have to focus and git 'er dun!

 

Why is the Auburn coach losing his mind?

 

Huge downgrade at the Setter position. We are back to those years when Florida had those sisters who were the Setters. Not good enough to make a Final 4 run. Stucky gave UF a real chance at the Final 4.
