bierce Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 Missouri is challenging for SEC conference lead, but it has lost all matches against ranked teams in straight sets so far, averaging just under 20 points per set. It did take A&M to 5 sets in College Station, so it isn't terrible, but if we are focused to bounce back from last week's poor showing, then this should not be a terribly tough match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bierce Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 If you are wondering where my ply by play is, then look on the PF John Clark commits to Texas thread. Oops.

Wenaas hit wide. 17-15. Singletary dink middle falls in. 18-15. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bierce Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 We're hitting just .109 on the match. We have more service return errors than blocks. Like GoHorns1 said, this has been really sloppy play. I'd even say lazy. Time for Elliott to tear into some people for lack of focus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
