That is correct. It was the development of Smrek and Demps that made the difference, All because of an injury to Danial Hart.

Lauren Barnes(the libero) and the younger players got them through this entire tournament.

@@blickblick7723 indeed !

yes they are losing a bunch of amazing players but there are amazing player coming in

They aren’t the best because they lost

This is the first

@@traceynigwe it was about time with the good seasons they had

@@traceynigwe hes talking about how lady badgers win all of UW’s ships recently like the womens hockey team winning the last two national championships.

the champinoship match was better than this mathc tho

Ignore the records and rankings heading into the game. Wisconsin has been the best team all year.

When teams go 5, I don't think it is fair to rate one over the other. A block here and a good ball placement there is the difference

Ehhh, Louisville over Nebraska. Record still better with only loss and they beat Nebraska this year.

Louisville is better than Nebraska.

Lol, not really. The two teams that made the finals last year lost key pieces. Kentucky lost half their starting lineup and Texas lost their libero having to move an inexperienced ds in her libero spot and use an outside hitter as a ds= not as good passing. I bet you if those two teams both returned all key pieces, they would’ve played in the championship again.

@@blickblick7723 LOL What sense does that make ? . If you read my post above you would see that Wisconsin got key pieces to this championship by way of injury. The Badgers lost Danial Hart their starting Middle and experimented through the season with different combinations. When they played Nebraska the first time, Nebraska was not prepared for Anna Smrek and she was dominant in that match, but the next match she did not even start. They used Demps as an outside hitter in the early part of the season and she was erratic early on When they went against Purdue they lost both times. I wonder what would have happened if they had to play them again in the tournament. Somewhere around mid season they started using Demps as a back row attacker and she shined there so they moved Demps there when ever Smrek had to rotate out and that was the difference from last year, so a team can develop over the year. and your argument that if this person was there or that person was not there does not pass the smell test. Nebraska did the same thing. They had a lot of shaky matches, but recovered and ended up in the National finals and the fact that both matches went 5 sets proves my point. When John Cook was asked who the best team he had played all year, he did not say Wisconsin who had beaten them 3 times , he said Louisville. Any of those teams could have won it.

@@jamescrane7034 lol, I am not reading all that. I just simply responded to the part where you’re blaming lack of schedule on them losing in the semis a season ago. I just don’t think that’s the reason, in my opinion Texas and Kentucky were miles ahead of anyone.

@@jamescrane7034 I agree with the changes in the lineup was the reason to Wisconsin’s success though.

@@blickblick7723 Sometimes it is just fate.

By far the most improved player on the team.

cringe PepeLa

i hated her attitude at this moment like why be like that

riiiiighttt

They should have subbed her

Actually Claire Chausse had the lowest hit percentage of the game. More missed chances and hit / error production

you’re mad

lmao

Its hilarious how people convince themselves that the team didn't lose, but in fact the refs stole it from us lmfao. Losers mentality

@@HiBye-ec8ts 😂

It was a kill by Orzol, wasn’t a center line violation because none of the players interfered with the other team.

why

@@gabeng7642 just look

@@nathansnell6932 can you elaborate 💀

she ain’t

LMAO what 😂😭😭😭😭😭

Do you want some Wisconsin cheese to go with that whine?

@@ttaylor758 These are called "double standard", " unprofessionalism" not "whine"! Especially in such an important tourament.

@@user-qwer-asdf-4321 The NCAA rules say that an entire foot can cross the center line so long as it doesn't encroach as a safety hazard or interfere with the opponents play. Stevenson was 2 feet from Robinson is the latter came down. The no call was correct. In regards to the play at 4-5 in the fifth, the call was not center line. It was an Orzol kill that slipped between the block and net.

@@StevenJW And just like that, Steven debunks "double standard" and "unprofessionalism"

First off learn the rules, second if you're going to knit pick tiny things that had zero impact in the game and how it was played then that's pathetic.
