KU vb
-
Texas takes the 4th 25-10 in set that honestly looked like Kansas intentionally threw because they had money on it going to five. Been watching KU VB the last probably five years since they got decent and are on TV from time to time and that’s the worst set I’ve ever seen.
-
Bummer…
-
Texas wins the fifth set 17-15, disappointing that we gave away the second set up 4 late and seemed to just not give a shit in the 4th. We had our chances on to the next one as they say.
-
I believe Svi was at the game. Good to see basketball players supporting other varsity teams.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Graham and Svi both was there
-
Well. - - - that sucks. - -What the hell happened in the 4th set. - -I mean damn. - -Our ladies looked really bad in the 4th, I do believe that really took it’s toll in the 5th set. - -Then come out in the 5th set and fall behind 4-1 - -you just can’t do that in a set such as that. - The 4th set we just wet all over ourselves looked horrible.- -We had so much energy for about the first set and a half then you could see it coming.
One thing I saw or at least thought/looked like - The ladies our sets were being set up so deep on the back line. - -Seemed like most the night w were having to attack seem to deep, seemed Aveli was struggling sitting the hitters up awfully deep sets.
Got to regroup gonna be really hard now - -still have to play there , now ties with Baylor - -not good. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Bummer that they let the 2nd set slip away. Cost them the match.
-
Still po’d
-
KU plays #25 Baylor on fox sports Midwest at 8. I’ll be flipping back and forth with the 76ers game.
-
KU wins rather easily 3-0.
-
Kansas sweeps Baylor 25-14, 25-22, 25-14 was never really in doubt. KU trailed only briefly in the second set. Nice to get another win vs the top 25 and see no hang over from Texas. Here is the current B12 standings:
Texas 7-0, 15-2
Kansas 6-1, 17-3
Baylor 6-2, 16-5
Iowa State 4-3, 13-4
Texas tech 2-5, 13-7
West Virginia, 2-5, 13-7
Kansas State 2-5, 9-11
Oklahoma 2-5, 5-15
TCU 1-6, 9-10

@kjayhawks The ladies were never really ever in much trouble tonight. - -I watched the game on TV, pretty much dominated , and the match was at Baylor. - Plus Kelsie Payne was pretty much non exsistant - A lot of Madison & Zoe? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 Payne hasn’t been as good this season, hopefully she breaks outta here funk at the right time.
-
She was fine before conference play and her overall stats are still pretty good. Rigdon is playing well and hopefully Payne can get her mojo back before long; KU will really need her down the stretch.
-
Well here we are KU & Oklahoma VB. - -The ladies still seem just not to be on top of their game. This Oklahoma team 5-16 on the year and they come in and take it to us in set 1 ending up 25-22 – then start out in 2nd set jumping out 9-2 – we did come back and won the 2nd set 25-20 - I just don’t get it - -something just not quite there - -I don’t know what’s going on with Kelsie. - -Game tied 1 set apiece. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer54 needs a fire lit under her butt

The ladies got really really lucky/fortunate tonight. - - -after taking the 3rd set 25-17 - -Oklahoma came out and really just dominated the 4th set even though it ended up 22-25 - -if KU wouldn’t of went on a 9-0 run in the end of the 4th - that set wasn’t as close as the final score, we were down 24-13 and till the run.
Then we eaked out the 5th set 15-13 - -we seem to be just a tad bit off rhythm . I guess Kelsie ended up with like 12 kills but before this match she had back to back single digit games - -we need more out of our ALL AMERICAN. - -Got a really tough match at Iowa State Saturday we better be ready we can’t afford any more losses. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
The girls have to find some consistency if they want to make another run this year. I’m sure what the problem is, one set they look great, the next they look lost as can be. IMO they should be 21-1 and ranked in the top 3 because the Texas and Santa Clara games we gave away.
-
@kjayhawks They just seem to be a step out of stride. - -Their passing hasn’t been as crisp - -seems like a lot of the sets they are sitting up the hitters really deep on the back line for the attack - -attempted kill - - Kelsie hasn’t been Kelsie - -we need our All Americans to step it up or like you say going to be a short stay in the NCAA’S - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Big game tonight for the ladies. - -At Iowa St - -got to play much better against the # 22 ranked team in the nation - -let’s do this - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I’m going to pay for it
-
@Crimsonorblue22 are they on TV? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 streaming from isu
-
@jayballer54 wonder what the girls do in the off season? Other teams look so much stronger
-
KU is down 2 set to none. Not looking good.
-
@JayHawkFanToo 2-1. Think we were down 2-0 at home too. Not strong at all!
-
I am just watching the scoreboard, cannot get the video…
-
@JayHawkFanToo I pd 6.99, streaming thru my iPad and air playing it on Apple TV. We r down 16-13
-
They are just not the same as they have been - -struggled in a lot of games this year - - ROCK CHALK AL DAY LONG BABY
-
That sucked
-
Well the ladies won last night. - -Pretty well stunk it up the 1st set losing 14-25 - -but came back played well won the last 3.
Didn’t realize Madison was hurt - last night was the 2nd contest she has been out. - -Showed a picture of her today in the LJW -stating looks like she has lost a lot of weight - -she doesn’t look good.
Sure wishing her the best - -hope she regains her health for her sake upmost of all - Plus we really need her she does so many things - and does them well.
Get well Madison - -Rest and get feeling better. - -Not disclosing what the illness is - hope nothing to serious.
Also K-State suffered a major blow to their star player bad injury in the last set - -hope she recovers soon also - -Vogel. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 I’m getting the ku vb on my ESPN watch app. Shocking!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Swept at home. - -THIS is not the same volleyball team. I don’t know what’s happened to Kelsie. - - - Until very very late she had 2 kills for the entire match.
I tell ya what a lot of it is and it’s killing them - - having no Madison - -she brings so much - -man not sure what is wrong with her - -and they not saying not sure or if she will come back. - -I have a feeling it’s not good. - -she means a lot. they just don’t have it. - -Ypur looking at another lost Wednsday @ Texas.
This drops us to third 21-5 - -just not the same team - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 not much heart there!
-
Kansas was just swept at home by #23 Baylor and drops to third place in the B12. They were never really in it besides the second set where they blew a 15-8 lead. Rigdon is still out with an injury so I figured this would be a tough one, just didn’t expect to get spanked on our own floor. Kansas has finished in the top 2 of the big 12 for 4 straight years, that probably just ended today.

zero. – The 3rd set was emotionless. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 @Crimsonorblue22 If I didn’t know better I’d say Ray has lost this team. They have looked like they have had better things to do the last hand full of games and showed no energy whatsoever. It looks like Selfs 2005 team, no heart, no hustle and a first round NCAA exit.
-
@kjayhawks Boy I don’t know. - -your right they just seem like no motoviation for whatever the reason. - -the real stunner to me is Kelsie - - she has always been so dominant - -NOW - -not so much. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Kansas will play Fizzou to start the NCAAs.
-
Got tickets, $14 for GA, includes both days.
-
I’ve got this feeling going to be a short stay this year. - -Some are saying they have chemistry issues, al I know is they haven’t played up to their abilities all year long.
Kelsie sure wasn’t the same this year a she was the two previous - -I think not having Cassie hurt us more then what we might know, she was unbelievable.
Of course us losing Madison for that stretch didn’t help us any either, but I just don’t feel very confident at all about this weekend. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
On the positive side, KU has a better record on the road (9-3) than a home (8-4) and it is 5-0 at neutral sites. Currently ranked #19 by the NCAA RPI, WSU is #14, MU is #34 and Radford #60.
-
Man the ladies in the end run this season - - -under achieved greatly. - -for the returning talent they had on this roster, they UNDER ACHIEVED. - then the real dagger is losing to the sorry shits fuzzou.
They were just soooo inconsistent, something just was clicking for most of the season. - For what was expected at the beginning of the year, coming off a previous Big 12 championship , to follow up this way with a lot coming back - -they just didn’t cut it. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I called it 20 days ago, wish I was wrong but still proud this senior class had some great moments.
-
What a waste of talent.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 yes, it’s hard to not blame coach RB. This recent up tick was nice and people are giving the newer assistants a lot of credit. But where do we go from here? Anyone that played big minutes from the FF and B12 title teams is gone. I’ll tell you this if Ray can’t get it going in the new building and we dip back down to a average program again. He should be fired. Sad all the hype our fall sports got and the way it ended.
-
Hard to tell what happened to the team, the talent and experience (8 seniors) was there but somehow the team fell appart half way through the season; I will guess that unreported injuries had a lot to do with it. Coach Bechards has slowly built the program into a contender and next season will be in full rebuild mode so expectation should not be high. It will take a lot more than a couple of subpar seasons to fire Coach Bechard. If Coach Beatie can keep his job with the results he has had to date then Coach Bechard should be very safe.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Agree with you about the injuries. - -I think losing Madison for that stretch of what 4 games right? - -I think that played a big role, during that time with her being out we really struggled. - Opposition was even more better to really focus on Kelsie, so I think that played a role for sure.
Secondly Kelsie was just not the Kelsie of previous years , they talked about how she struggled last night during the match. - -True she ended with double digit kills , BUT the amount of swings it took for her to get those double digit kills was pretty large. - -Something just seemed out of kilter with her for a big majority of the season.
Then I don’t know maybe reading more into it then is there, but just seemed like we missed Cassie Waite more then what people may of realized, she was so instrumental during the years past Just seemed like for most the season the chemistry - - -timing was just off all season a bit.
Very true next season going to be hard - going to be rebuilding, but yet we still have some good pieces back I think. - - Alexander is back 6’4 hits the ball very well - -I think Zoe Hill is back , dam can’t think of her name at the minute but the girl that replaced Cassie is back - -dam what is her name again? - -I think Coach is going to work hard, not in any danger of being fired that’s crazy no way is he close to being fired.
Pretty disappointing season coming off a Big 12 championship season but I don’t feel we will fall back to mediocre status. - Think we will still be right there. No doubt work to be done. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
