I love sports statistics, especially weird ones.

SB/VB/etc @UWonSBN. Tweets @900squarefeet & @NCAAVBscores. Mariners and Huskies, mostly.

Really tough road trip awaits for #21 @UWVolleyball (14-3, 5-3 B1G), visiting the 6th-ranked Badgers & 20th-ranked Gophers this weekend

Tonight, 6pm, BTN: at #6 Wisconsin (13-5, 7-1)
Sun, 11am, BTN: at #20 Minnesota (11-5, 5-3)

[Highly Caffeinat(Ed) Strong @ByEdStrong]

All four Husky losses have been sweeps. They're 15-0 as long as they don't get swept.

Final homestand of the regular season starts Friday. Three straight must-wins as heavy favorites (Iowa/Maryland/Northwestern) and then closing with the undefeated Cornhuskers on Nov 8

[Highly Caffeinat(Ed) Strong @ByEdStrong]

Second half of the road trip is a dud: #20 Minnesota (12-6, 6-4 B1G) in full control throughout, rolling past sloppy #21 Washington (15-4, 6-4) in three: 25-17, 25-17, 25-20. Katy Wessels was good (9K on .438, 4 B) but that's it. Got the tough road split, though

[Highly Caffeinat(Ed) Strong @ByEdStrong]

15-13 Gophers at S3 media TO.

Huskies have tied it up several times but their only lead today was 1-0 in S2

Katy Wessels leads the team with 9 kills. Good day for her! But your 5th-best attacker leading the team is generally not a good sign

[Highly Caffeinat(Ed) Strong @ByEdStrong]

Better effort in the third at least. 12-11 Gophers. Wessels has been good today

[Highly Caffeinat(Ed) Strong @ByEdStrong]

Both Kleckner - who was subbed out for Destler - and Mateska have more attack errors (5 each) than Minnesota does as a team (4)

[Highly Caffeinat(Ed) Strong @ByEdStrong]

Huskies completely out of sorts on both offense and defense today. Gophers up 2-0 after another 25-17 set win. Hitting just .075 while Minnesota is hitting .333. Multiple diggable balls have gotten sprayed for kills or at least stopping transition offense

[Highly Caffeinat(Ed) Strong @ByEdStrong]

Minnesota pulls away to take S1 25-17. Nothing much good there. Flush it.

[Highly Caffeinat(Ed) Strong @ByEdStrong]

15-11 Gophers at media TO. Minnesota has been very clean offensively so far and UW hasn't been able to match that

#21 @UWVolleyball (15-3, 6-3 B1G) looks to turn a special night into a spectacular weekend, trying for a big 2-0 trip at #20 Minnesota (11-6, 5-4) coming up in ~10 minutes on BTN

[Highly Caffeinat(Ed) Strong @ByEdStrong]

@BonkJackpxh @PEARatings Oh we're definitely trash this year. I'm not debating that in the slighest.

UW played for a natty just a few years ago. Nebraska hasn't been nationally relevant in well over 20 years.

Washington knocks off #⃣6⃣ Wisconsin behind Simona Mateska's incredible 3⃣1⃣ kill performance!!

#PointHuskies

[Highly Caffeinat(Ed) Strong @ByEdStrong]

@UWVolleyball Highest-ranked win for the Huskies since a 3-1 win at #1 Stanford on September 29th, 2019

[Highly Caffeinat(Ed) Strong @ByEdStrong]

FABI ACE! GAME, SET, MATCH = DAWGS

[Highly Caffeinat(Ed) Strong @ByEdStrong]

@UWVolleyball Mateska: 31/6/59 (.424), 13 D. It's her new career-high (by 10!) and also the most kills in any Big Ten conference match this year

Husky serving started awful (0 aces/5 errors in S1) but was stellar the rest of the way (8 aces/6 errors S2-S5, including match-winner by Fabi)

[Highly Caffeinat(Ed) Strong @ByEdStrong]

Match point #5 Huskies

[Highly Caffeinat(Ed) Strong @ByEdStrong]

Kleckner pounds one from the back after Wisconsin played one that was headed out. Match point #4

[Highly Caffeinat(Ed) Strong @ByEdStrong]

Match point #3 Washington after a center line violation on the Badgers. Wisconsin's challenging but I'm pretty sure this will hold.

[Highly Caffeinat(Ed) Strong @ByEdStrong]

Kleckner is blocked. Deuce at 14, timeout Huskies
