I agree that the Cincy game has little to gain and much to lose. It is a road game, so a win won’t be (I hope) like the pre Big 12 days when our bad wins lost ground to "power " teams “good losses.”
I have been a little surprised at how our schedule has kept our RPI and ranking elevated in the face of 6 losses (twice as many as last year in the regular season).
Coogs in Cincy for a single game today. Set 1 close for a while, but after 16- 15 coogs through early going, Coogs pulled away to win set 1: 25 - 20.
Coogs win set 2, 25 - 13.
Coogs play an exceptional 3rd set: win set 25 - 11. Win match 3 -0.
Sets up a huge match this weekend ( Friday the 3rd and Saturday) against UCF.
Important match underway. UCF running #2 in Conference - so wins are huge for the stretch run for December.
Coogs win set one in dominating fashion.
After 25-15 set 1 - Coogs and UCF play an epic set point in set 2- but Coogs prevail 25-23 - now up 2-0 in sets.
Coogs win set 3 - 25-19.
Another big match against the Mouseketeers - tomorrow at 3 pm FC.
Our women have not had any trouble adjusting to the big 12.
I was really impressed by the Coog’s passing in this match. Time after time they received serves and got the ball to the setters within 2’-3’ of the net. UCF hardly stood a chance most of the time.
Makes we wish my wife and I had a daughter in addition to our son. Would had loved to have had a daughter to play volleyball for U of H. The ladies are making us proud.
As I watched I remarked to myself that each set the Coogs would go on an extended run- 5-7 points or so and look utterly dominating in doing so. I suspect your observation is an explanation for that level of play I am hopeful that the team is improving as tourney time approaches.
UCF came to play this afternoon. Mouseketeers take set 1: 25 - 20.
Coogs roar back
Win set 2: 25 -18.
Coogs win set 3: 25 - 15
Coogs win set 4: 25 - 11 and the match. IMHO the team is improving each outing.
Was really torn between attending the match or watching FB. UGLY FB vs a winning team. Probably should have headed to FC. 
You missed a Coog team playing great. They dominated after set 1 with very attractive, skilled, intelligent play.
Volleyball is such a fun sport to watch. Sorry I missed it. Congrats to the team!
The Coogs came in at #31 in the RPI’s and UCF is respectable at #42. We’ll see how far up they’ve moved on Monday.
#24 Coogs @ #106 okla Thursday & Friday. Hopefully a couple of 3-set sweeps on tap.
Stretch run begins today! Selection Sunday is November 26th Coogs have 6 contests remaining. All in conference - 3 each home and away. My guess is that at this point the Coogs are “in” the field - but it can change easily.
After at Okie for two (game today and tomorrow both at 6 pm)- Coogs play 4 single games against teams that should be competitive - TCU - Iowa State - Baylor and finish at home on Saturday the 25th against - Kansas State (who just beat UT in a 3 set sweep).) Of those four only Baylor is away.
Seems to me every game is big. Go Coogs.
It is that time of year. I trust I am leaving the match in good hands as I can’t finish watching the broadcast.
Set 1 to Coogs 25 - 15.
These girls are fun to watch.
3 sets to nil
Wasn’t even close.
This will be a top 10 team.
May compete for a big 12 champ.
Great coach. Veteran team.
Oklahoma is not SEC ready in volleyball. Our girls and CDR continue to impress. Absolutely dominated OSU.
I saw on the volleyball page of uhcougars.com that the team signed two new players: a Lilly Barron and an Addisyn Pohl. I don’t know enough other than to say the writeup made reference to what seemed to me to be some impressive accomplishments.
Coogs with a solid 1st set: 25-19.
Good on Okie for scoring 22 points. Still, Coogs prevail: 25 -22. Coogs lead 2 - 0 in sets.
All things considered, I daresay Oklahoma would rather be in the SEC. Coogs win set 3: 25 - 13. 7 consecutive Big 12 wins. 5 consecutive Big 12 wins on the road.
Next match: Wednesday the 15th vs. TCU at Fertitta Center, 7 pm.
