@Loubinsa I don't think you'd find many high level coaches that "want" to run a 6-2, but you have to play the cards you are dealt. I can't think of a title going to a team running a 6-2, but it may have happened.
@@Frosticus453 IIRC, Hames was injured at one point in the season and they were running the 6-2 to integrate both of their other setters to take over. But when Hames came back, she wasn't yet 100% so they kept the 6-2 to keep Hames in but not overexert her
@@brandonmcbride7659 Ya makes sense, I heard Hames was intended to be a DS this year, but the other setters didn't really pan out. Here's hoping something happens in that department for next season because 2 undersized setters don't = one good setter. Either way, you make the best with what you have and in this match Oregon looked like they wanted it more and played way more aggressively both defensively and offensively. They took some huge rips on transition balls and it payed off.
I just wish cook would’ve made a sub. At least once. You could see how flustered and overwhelmed ally was getting. I would’ve loved to say Hayden Play or even Maggie. They could’ve changed the game at any point..imo
You just never know. I was at the Wisconsin - Pen State game and Guctekin, the Wis Libero was having an awful time . She had two service errors and missed a lot of shots and the Pens State servers were targeting her. I was yelling "take her out " then they went into the 5th set and she has some extraordinary shots and they won. I guess that is why I am not the coach.
@@ChairYogaForTheAgeless I agree. In certain situations you might have to test your luck..at least that’s what I would’ve done. Especially after a 11+ point lead
@@ChairYogaForTheAgeless I would say having in a person whose plays that position is smart... with aly this was her first time playing all around in a very serious match. I didn't feel liek that was a good choice. I respect cook a lot and he can put together a great team. However, he does hae this weird tendency to put his faith in certain players that i never understand.
Looking back at this game, I'm realizing Batenhorst has been the most inconsistent player for the Huskers, she continues to struggle this season. Hopefully Krause is back in the lineup soon. 🙏🏽
@37:49...Is that Tayyiba Haneef-Park as an assistant coach?! I love her during Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008 Olympics! Back then, she was USA National Team's tallest player during 2004/2008 at 6'7-6'8. Great player
I was sitting next to Nebraska fans who some of them were the players parents. Just seeing them hugging their parents and breaking down broke me. You never want to lose at this point :(
@@MRSRBRAMER0002 WIN or LOSE...It's a game. You can't always WIN. You shouldn't teach your children that winning is the ONLY OPTION! Typical Nebraskan's mentality.
@@zackd2852 Its that they worked hard to get there and lost. I'm sure they've lost several other matches as well, but going to five sets is a lot of pressure and I would be desperate to win too. I'm not sure if I would cry but I would surely be half disappointed but happy because we played good and got there.
GO DUCKS!!!! Mimi Colyer is the best freshman in the entire country, no doubt about it. And Hannah Pukis is an ELITE setter. As for Nebraska... I've never seen a team that complains to the refs about every single call more than they do. They are so entitled, year in and year out. Love that my Ducks sent their asses home
@49:25...WHY WOULD YOU PASS A FREE BALL WITH YOUR FOREARMS and SHANK IT? KNOWING that your setter is RIGHT NEXT TO YOU...PASS it with your hands so you can control it and give your setter time! ROOKIE MISTAKE!
It's funny because if Nebraska would have done what Oregon did at 30:45 the announcers would have been praising them for 20 minutes and it would have been all over sportscenter, but since it's not their golden child Nebraska then it's not that impressive I guess.
@53:11...It's clear they praise Oregon and then GO STRAIGHT to one-upping Oregon by stating how amazing Nebraska is. So GLAD Oregon beat Nebraska so the announcers have no choice but to root for the underdogs.
Different coaching styles. Dunning, Rose, Cook, etc all sat on the bench 99% of the time. And they are the coaches with the most national championships so obviously they’re doing something tight
He said in an interview that the players told him that him standing makes them nervous so he decided to sit for the rest of the matches to ease their nerves! He should’ve put in Kennedi he’s wasting her and it pains me!
