Yes. It keeps going to a blank red screen every so often.
Pop being out reeeeeally hurts us in so many ways. Serve receive was the worst I’ve seen so far this year, which leads to poor attack opportunities = Texas 17 blocks and 31+ attack errors yikes.
Moving Petry to L makes sense but I was surprised to see Stonestreet slide into DS role with someone like Baranski on the bench. I can totally see getting younger players some time, but man throwing her to the wolves of Texas who targeted her repeatedly on serves.
Texas might not lose until the Final 4- just that kind of team. Proud of our fight in the first set. Let’s see more of that tomorrow!

Losing her against a team like UT was a killer but at least they won one set. The team had not won a set against a ranked team over the past two seasons.
Had problems all night- Missed set point set I kinda glad a missed some of the rest of the action at times.
We look a lot better tonight - especially in hustle. CJL's post game comments last night, "defensively we weren't working as hard as we have to work" and "we can't play one set" are maybe having an effect.
Friday ISU was very competitive but Texas was just executing better especially on serves & blocks. It was the best I've seen ISU play for 6-7 years. Newsome continues to be amazing and it was a drastic drop in production the few points she was out. Mantz was sporadic as she has a tendency to hit long. If she can bring her hitting % up again, it will take the heat off Holthaus.
I would also add ISU's production continues to be horrible on their end which dates back to Cyclones.tv as they can't seem to hold a constant upload speed so there are constant drops and artifacts every few minutes which is not ESPN+'s fault.
