Give the Nebraska coaching staff credit. They had their young team well prepared. The players often anticipated where the set was going and the direction of tips and off-speed shots. In one rotation Nebraska had three freshmen in the front row. They are going to be difficult for any team to beat in the NCAA tournament.
Rubin with 11 hitting errors and 6 serving errors. A key player with such an off night makes it difficult to beat an equally matched opponent although there were plenty of areas where Stanford was outplayed. Hopefully the team learned some things from this match and will improve. IMO Stanford has to find a way for all its starters to have a reasonably good game in matches. So far there often seems to be one player who doesn't play well.
