VB: vs Georgia Tech, 11/30/24 - Match Info

The defense when Babcock and Stafford are in the back row is rough today.
 
Gave up a decent sized lead and lost set 2. Backrow defense along with passing not great.
 
ugh Pitt must've been analyzing RPI/KPI instead of focusing on their own match. The 2 sets that they've lost were just awful. Again poor passing. Need to pick it up in this 5th set.

Agree 2nd and 4th poor service receive and pass…

Wasn't able to catch the game - anyone have the cliffsnotes on how they looked, what went well and what didn't?

GA Tech defense was amazing. Their libero was playing out of her mind. We seemed to give up the most points when Olivia and toree were on D. Kudos to Cat Flood for accepting and embracing her role. Great team player. Also GA tech had a player with a leg sleeve like Rachael's. She served absolute bullets. We were lucky to mitigate her in the 5th set. GA tech is going to be a problem in the tourney.

I don’t see Georgia Tech going far in the tournament. Way too inconsistent. Capable of playing with anyone but also of losing sets 25-10 and losing three matches in a row.

Not sure exactly what was off with Pitt today, but they seemed not as sharp as normal. I guess a let down is understandable after Wednesday and credit them for grinding it out. I am confident they will be locked in come next weekend.

While Liv had a triple double with digs, blocks and kills, I would say Bre Kelley deserves the most credit for keeping Pitt in this match. She had 15 kills which is outrageous for a middle to go along with 8 blocks. She hit .480. Ga Tech scrambling, small ball and back row D were great!
 
Pitt seemed to lose focus during the 2nd, 4th and 5th sets. Sure Fish is happy with a win and an outright ACC Championship but I am sure he was not happy with the way the team played today. I loved his move when he put two middles in the game to block Bertolino.
He will have them ready for the tournament. They should be the #1 overall with Nebraska losing to Penn State this week.
We will know tomorrow, H2P

I saw Pitt in 2 matches today....actually 2 different teams. Sets 1 &3 when they hit .478 and .303.....and then sets 2 and 4 when they hit .270 and .091. They fell apart in set #2 when they had a lead which slipped through their fingers. Then there was Babcock with her triple double....but she only hit .173 for the match......not normal at all for her. Although Pitt reached their normal point total per set of over 19 points/set.....they gave back a lot of points per set on average....almost 9 points/set.....far more than we've seen all year. All in all.....a very strange performance but a victory nevertheless. Lots to be thankful for.....for instance....I'm thankful I'm not a Louisville fan....talk about an awful way to end the season!

Kinda like we had to battle through a really tough 5 setter heading into the tournament.

Love Fishers saying that you don’t have to lose to learn lessons.

Hopefully an added fire and reminders they’re not invincible.
