Volleyball Tonight: K-State vs. Oregon

Fate sure has aligned itself in a funny way this week.  On Thursday, the men's basketball team lost a heartbreaker to the Oregon Ducks in the Big 12/Pac-10 Hardwood Classic.  Tonight, the volleyball team will take on the Ducks in the second round of the NCAA tournament at Ahearn Fieldhouse.  There were a lot of great comments about the crowd at the basketball game on Thursday, so let's extend that support to the women tonight and fill the old barn.

Gametime is 7 p.m.  Both teams advanced with 3-0 wins in the opening round.  The Wildcats dropped Tulsa, 30-24, 30-20, 30-23, while the Ducks survived a couple tough games with Missouri State, winning 31-29, 30-20, 31-29.

Keep it up, Cats!

In other 'news,' BOTC favorite Bob Lutz discusses Michael Beasley's--and K-State's--potential this year.  He doesn't seem to think having David Hoskins would make any difference, because he's not a three-point threat.  Agreed that we need three-point shooting and that Hoskins is not a three-point threat, but you can't replace the heart and leadership he brings to the floor.

It also appears Nebraska will hire Bo Pelini as its new head coach.  At this point, I'm indifferent about this hire because I'm much more concerned about the problems we are facing in Manhattan.  Suffice it to say, I've never seen in Pelini what a lot of Nebraska fans seem to see.  I've been wrong many times before, and with finals coming up I'll probably be wrong a lot in the next 10 days.

Feel free to use this post as an open thread, either to discuss the volleyball game or any of the football games going on today, especially Mizzou-Oklahoma.  I'll be back for the MU/OU game, until then it's full steam ahead into income tax.

Will somebody please tell Brent Musberger that it's Chase DANIEL, not DANIEL"S"?  Good grief, it's the second straight week he's done a Mizzou game and the kid's only a friggin' Heisman candidate.

Volleyball update

The ladies are up 2-0 right now, winning the first two games, 30-24, 30-20.  They currently lead, 7-6, in the third game.  Live stats are available at CSTV.

Venables
I realize they allow coaches quite a bit of leeway as far as being on the field, but Brent Venables sure seems to take a mile when given an inch.  He's out on the field after every play, often at least 5-10 yards out there.

Volleyball team now trails 25-24 in the third game.

Ladies dropped third game, 30-27.  Now I'm getting a tad edgy...

Volleyball again
Officially in panic mode now, as the Cats dropped Game 4, 36-34.  They led 33-32 before Oregon went on a 4-1 run to close it out.

Ladies gotta regroup...fast.

Game...set...match...Ducks

Good grief, what a collapse.  Won the first two games, in our own house, against an unranked team, and then dropped three straight.  Unbe-freaking-lievable.

Twice in three days...I'm starting to hate Oregon...

hey now

no need for hate.  Karma is just trying to help us out a bit after the Dixon injury took our football season away.

Yep

No real hate.  Just serious frustration.  That's the third time our volleyball team has dropped a match after jumping out to a 2-0 lead.

Your gals deserved to win the way they played.  Our barn is a tough environment, and they kept their composure in the face of huge adversity.  That Sonja girl you have was cutting us up bad.
