(11-15-2025, 09:45 AM)Spiny_Norman Wrote: The Pitt coach used a really questionable challenge earlier in the 5th set, asking for a net violation on Stanford. It was unsuccessful so I don't believe he had a challenge available for Rubin's hit on match point at 11-14. I was ready to turn off the game when the back referee signaled that it had gone long. Point Pitt, match over, Pitt starts to celebrate. But wait!! The up referee signaled a touch. Point Stanford. Not challenged. Play on.
Then I think it was at 13-14 that Pitt was called for a violation that I did not entirely understand. The announcers tried to explain in the moment that it was something not allowed by a back row player. Can anyone elaborate?
While it definitely would have made sense to challenge a touch on match point had Pitt had the challenge, it’s unusual for the refs to be fooled into calling a touch that wasn’t there (usually, you will see the opposite, where the coach will challenge a potentially touched ball that went un-called). The reason is that the refs can usually hear the ball go off the block. Also, both the R1 and R2 signaled a touch simultaneously, and the Pitt reaction was pretty muted because the blocker knew it. Thus, I doubt the call would have been reversed, though the replays on TV made it impossible to tell.

Thought I also saw Rubin pointing up when the camera panned to her.
Edit. Nope, I was wrong. Instead her immediate reaction to her hit was a positive clench pump.

FYI - just found this full recording of last night's match with Pitt:

(never heard of FFP TV HD before either)
RE: 2025 Women’s Volleyball - BostonCard - 11-15-2025
Yeah, good point; Rubin knew it right away.

I rarely make announcements like this, but the Stanford-Pitt match was incredible. I've posted my edit of the complete game on Youtube. Channel is @TonyLimaCollegeSports.

And the fifth set, we were down 11-14, and score 5 straight points with Rubin serving, same rotation. Pitt's gotta hate that bit of deja vu.
Also loved seeing the fire in Lizzy Andrew after her massive block on Babcock while down match point 12-14 in the fifth. She usually seems so stoic, but she definitely met the moment.
I thought you undersold the first set, because the play-by-play shows Pitt up 24-20 in the first. But just watching the replay, I see it was actually 23-21 before Pitt got to set point (24-21). So the symmetry is unbroken.

And court coverage has been almost nonexistent.
Falling apart here in set 4
RE: 2025 Women’s Volleyball - mbdude - 11-16-2025
3 errors in a row from Rubin
down 10 to 5
smu missing 2 of their top players
RE: 2025 Women’s Volleyball - BostonCard - 11-16-2025
Down 16-8. I’m afraid this one is a stinker, barring a late rally.

RE: 2025 Women’s Volleyball - TonyLima - 11-16-2025
Maybe a measure of how much this team needs Logan Parks.
RE: 2025 Women’s Volleyball - Hieronymus - 11-16-2025
Just looking for this one to end now.
And it’s over.
Stanford out hit .520 to .000 in the fourth.
RE: 2025 Women’s Volleyball - mbdude - 11-16-2025
no ball control, no blocking.
bad beatdown
RE: 2025 Women’s Volleyball - paloalto - 11-16-2025
Tusher dressed to play and still with the indoor team. That's good. Although Parks was sitting on the sideline with the coaches she may be in concussion protocol the balance of the season.
Zero chance of being a #1 regional seed.
