Our weak serves made it easy for OSU to receive and go quickly to the middle. And we got totally owned. Their passing was great. Seems like most of the time the setter didn't even have to move and it was pretty easy for them to score.

Seems the common consensus explaining why BYU lost to OSU last year in the finals, is because they "got

OSU owned the middle in that match. It was crappy serve receiving for sure,

I don't think we stand a chance against LBSU away from Provo

I agree. They looked clearly better both night but we didn't luck out on Sat. the way we had on Fri.

Yep... And they are just better, at just about every facet of the game.

To the OP's point, headcases tend to play better at home where comfortable.

Yea and I just don't agree it was THE issue and think that's a cop-out reason. They were definitely

They had some Sercion (sp?) guy that was mvp last year. I think he played well for the match for them

I don't think you can say it's a cop-out when all season long people in the volleyball community were talking about it.

OSU serving well==poor serve receive. BYU serving poor==good serve receive

It doesn't matter how much you improve your serve if the other team is excellent at passing and ball control.

Ben Patch is the king head case. He had folded like a cheap suit

He's talented, but something just isn't right there with Patch.

That makes sense. I also think a team can lack effort because they're playing scared and don't have the momentum
