Pitt vs Louisville - Volleyball Game Thread

[pittdan77]

4 set points and couldn't close them out
DeBeer continues to haunt Pitt.
Now we see if they are champions or not.

Debeer is actually hitting well since that first set. She always plays well against Pitt for some reason.

 

[persp]

Definitely sucks that this is basically an away game. The crowd is live. Tough environment

 

[FreeportPanther]

Seems like Louisville wants this more. All hands on deck, but DeBeer is willing them to win.

 

[persp]

This is the most injuries Ive ever seen in a volleyball game

Louisville’s block had been better. Louisville’s digging has been better. Pitt goes up 23-19 and decides to keep serving their best passer over and over again. Just awful.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Damn, that looks bad.

 

[persp]

She is crying. Not good

 

[pittizit]

It’s over.. remember this one as it could be the end of the Fisher era at Pitt

This is just stupid.

Go back and play ping pong with Poker.

 

[Chaos]

not looking good....

 

[ThePanthers]

They are just blocking everything and we can’t block shit

Yes, I can definitely see Pitt firing the coach of the year.

 

[pittizit]

This is just stupid.

Watch

 

[FreeportPanther]

Well, if we can't beat them without DeBeer, then we deserve to lose.
There is no excuse for that.
I look for the ship to steady and for Pitt to pull this out.

 

[pittdrum]

Seriously, at this point this feels like the Nebraska game last year. Louisville is blocking and digging an amazing number of potential kills.

Our strategy appears to just be hit it as hard as possible and it just isn’t working.

You'd be pissed too if you still had so many zits in your 50s.

 

[pittizit]

He’s leaving on his own for better money or the national team

 

[ThePanthers]

They’ve just completely fallen apart

 

[pittdan77]

Wrong again. National team hired NC State’s coach. Go away.

ITs more about our setting that is hurting us. What a blow opportunity with Debeers out.

 

[persp]

Pitt is cracking. That 3rd set was intense. Seems like the ladies feel like we do after it

 

[Chaos]

Serve receive killing us. It's been a weakness for the past few matches. Time to try to put in a defensive specialist. This just isn't working

 

[ThePanthers]

Been out scored 19-7 since being up 23-19

 

[pittdan77]

Some of you guys acting like Pitt should just walk over Louisville…you know Louisville is actually pretty good too, right?

 

[FreeportPanther]

Welp.

 

[LVNVPanther]

This is a disaster

 

[Allan McMurray]

Really nice season. Can’t win em all.

 

[pittdan77]

Welp.

What you even do when you’re launching them like that and they’re getting the ball up?

 

[FreeportPanther]

Some of you guys acting like Pitt should just walk over Louisville…you know Louisville is actually pretty good too, right?

Without DeBeer, Pitt should take over. Lost this when we had 4 set points and couldn't close them out.
Momentum to Louisville and they've never looked back.

 

[persp]

Louisville is playing out of their minds

 

[wvkeeper(HN)]

Is Dan Fisher Jaime Dixon?

Never expected to walk over. I thought it would be 50/50.

But blowing a 4 pt lead and also not getting 4 set points and then just falling apart in the 4th stings some

 

[pittdrum]

Off tempo. Angled shots. Completely making our block attempts worthless. We just keep trying to slam it through. No adjustments or unable to make adjustments.

H2P

 

[latz66]

Ryla and Bre have done zilch

 

[FreeportPanther]

OK, now it looks like they' really shaken. Just totally out of sorts, Sad to see.

 

[Gregpitt]

Is Dan Fisher Jaime Dixon?

Didn't know Dixon made the final 4...ever. Fisher is better!!

 

[FreeportPanther]

Turn out the lights. We're toast.

 

[bwh05]

We had chances in 2 & 3 to win and we choked. Give Louisville credit and they had the benefit of the home crowd but we had our chances & didn’t get it done.

Louisville is hitting over 0.500 since she went down. Insane.

By the way, when Olivia is presented player of the year this weekend, nobody can argue.
