A Journal-Sentinel article - https://www.jsonline.com/story/sports/college/marquette/2022/12/07/marquette-volleyball-in-ncaa-tournament-sweet-16-match-at-texas/69708031007/

Good luck to volleyball tomorrow as they face a very good Texas team at Texas.

It was also interesting for me to read recently that Caroline Dragani is the daughter of former Marquette basketball player Stephanie Krumrei - I remember watching Krumrei play at Marquette.

Great family. Pat and Steph are as good as it gets as people. They could hoop.

Caroline's older brother played baseball at Michigan and Pitt. And her little sister js a Wake Forest Volleyball commit.

If you can't beat OSU in the serve/pass game you probably aren't going to win.

Serve and pass game, at every single level.

Was in the uncomfortable position of rooting for tOSU just so it could end.

Gotta do something this off-season about Reistma. She's not good enough to compete at this level m

I have watched a lot of volleyball over the years. One thing I have learned is that an excellent team can make a really good team look horrible. Honestly, I feel that this is more true in volleyball than most sports. The "really good" team is playing terribly...but the "excellent" team is making them play that way.

At least these last few we've looked like a competent team.

MU is a legit top 15 team. But the difference between the top 5 teams and a top 15 team like MU or Creighton is like the difference between MU and NCCU in men's basketball. Wurcherer alone doesn't get us over the top to that level. Her and about 2 other top 5 recruits might.

Good thing abo volleyball, don't need to make up those 10 points.

This is also why I'd take a job like MIZZOU if I got offered if I'm Theis. This season is MU's ceiling.

Eh, they weren't expected to do much this year to be fair.

Nearly complete roster turnover, Vanden Berg injury.

You're not wrong, that was not the case the last month of the season.

She couldn't get anything to hit the floor.

I just don't see how they can match the physicality of programs like Texas at Marquette.  Or any of the top Big 10 and Pac 12 teams.  Not to mention, even if you can, you sleep walk through 16 of your 18 conference matches and then have to turn it up in December.  Just hard to deal with that.

Is there no Gonzaga MBB style program in volleyball?

I mean they had Wisconsin on the ropes before that epic choke job.

Like I don't disagree with the sentiment, there are much better jobs available than Marquette (every single big ten job) but if there's a cycle you see through it's one where you have an AA setter and two 6'5" middles for two more years.
