Hinton is back. Actually played fairly well vs. Penn St.PSU over the Illini today, 25-22, -22, -19.
Several players out with injuries from what I've read on Volley Talk. Nunge, Hinton, Swanson, and Sakoda all missed this weekend's matches.
Mosher, normally a setter but pressed into service as an OH, led the team today in kills today with 11.
So true. We appeared the better team. Just too hard to overcome that big of a service error differential. OSU next. I’m predicting we win in 4.Illinois swept by Minnesota, 25-19, -23, -23.
I feel like we'd have a better chance at winning these close sets if we didn't have so many service errors, 14 for the Illini and just 2 for Minnesota.
Sadly, it's a staple of Tamas' offense. Check the stats. This year we have had 209 as opposed to our opponent's 131.Illinois swept by Minnesota, 25-19, -23, -23.

We have 111 aces, 3rd best in the BIG, but our 209 errors is the worst in conference. For comparison, Iowa has 110 aces but only 139 errors. (source)
The other day I googled service error rates and found How Many Serves Should A Volleyball Team Miss? They say the best teams typically have a service error percentage of 8-12%. We're at 14.4% errors for the season, 21.2% yesterday.
I agree we have to serve aggressively and try to take our opponents out of system, but we have too many bad misses.
Service errors come up often at Networkers events. Tamas claims to be fine with them if they are the result of aggressive serving. If they are to happen, he prefers that they be long, as opposed to, short. Per his reading of stats, aggressive serving correlates strongly with winning regardless of errors.We have 111 aces, 3rd best in the BIG, but our 209 errors is the worst in conference.
