I forgot how tense that first set vs Pitt was. We were very close to losing it at the end. We gave them a free ball and their right side hitter absolutely hammered it. Luckily Applegate made a very nice well placed dig that we immediately converted into a point.

I went back to the Campbell match to take some stills of the contested lines calls. Remember there were 7 contested judgement calls. mostly line calls- in/out.
In NFHS, we don't get the luxury of a replay.
For my own piece of mind, I wanted visual proof of what we were taught years ago that if ANY part of the ball touched the line the ball was "in:.

In general, when trainers explain the in/out, they ignore what constitutes "any part of the ball".
Is it the size of a quarter or the whole ball? Video indicates the latter. I love video.

As I recall, all of the challenged calls in the Campbell match were reversed. Don't think I've ever seen that.

like I said in another post- sometimes the officials get caught up in the game and become spectators. same sequence, LV player takes a shot in the chest and the ball came to rest before she launched it over her head. not multiple contacts but possible illegal hit....

You thought Campbell was more difficult than Nebraska Pitt and Kentucky ?

The only thing difficult about the Campbell match was the line judging

I got some good screen shots for lines ppl and a couple of blurry others. the "prolonged contact" on KEN. and the over the net call (which I actually disagree with) in the Neb match. At least from the camera angle, it appeared the ball entered the plane of the net.

I just binge watched all 6 Aggie games in the tournament. It's amazing how much confidence the team gained during the NCAAs

The first 3 matches seemed more difficult than the final 3 matches, which were all against #1's.

Really was an unbelievable path to the National Championship!

Groovy !!

You have me beat by months! Plan on waiting until late Spring or early Summer to watch all six full matches. I 'might' cheat and watch the extended highlights of the Sweet 16 match vs Louisville and then the rest (do not have them for the the first two in College Station) a few times before then!

And then might watch them AGAIN before the first match next season!

It would be great if A&M or the NCAA would put out a package set with all six matches on DVD or Blu-Ray. A professionally done package would be awesome - and having no commercials would be really nice !!!

do you have YouTube TV? go to NCAA videos volleyball Championship. All of A&Ms games are there to view. These are full game videos for the most part. I used Campbell and TCU to get screenshot of challenged calls.
