The "backups" for Texas this year probably start at any other team in the country outside of maybe Nebraska. It's a nice luxury to have.

Agreed. I like how Elliott rides the hot hand regardless of who it is. Nice to see the block return today, they dominated at the net.

The only player that rotates all 6 positions is Stafford all others rotate out and are replace by “backups” as you call them.

Agreed!  As did Nya Bunton.   We have championship depth. 🤘🏽

I just followed score updates today but I don't believe Texas trailed at any point (other than starting sets 2 and 3 down 0-1). That is a dominant performance at against this level of competition even if they did not win the sets by large margins.

The blocking by the team has definitely improved late in the season. Nice to see improvement and development as the season goes.

Sorry, should have said the rotational players.  There was a point where it felt like they were all on the court and we were struggling without the starters

STRAIGHT SETS, LADIES 🤘

Nebraska has been pretty amazing this year, 33-0 record. They have lost 7 sets the entire year. That includes 1 set in their last 24 matches! That is insane, thats 72 sets won and 1 set lost in the last 73. 

So.....the best thing for Texas would be Nebraska being knocked off prior to the final. Do we root for Texas A&M to knock them out?

[HookemTexas]

Nebraska is stacked like the Texas team in 2022 was, the championship is theirs to lose.  They don't really have a weakness.  That said, anyone left has the ability to beat them as well.
