RIGHT!!!??? Whenever Lexi get a big dig/save, they would literally scream her name. But with Emma, they barely said anything or in general anything at all
@@owlsonik37 yes! they don’t talk a lot about Akana even tho she had amazing saves/digs. even if Neb lost a point, they would literally still talk about Neb defense but not Texas. Neb this and that, even at match point. Idk if it’s just me but from the past on their Insta, they would post some of the amazing highlights or rallys. They didn’t do that this year, but only Neb mainly. This is the most biased game I have ever seen. Not just from announcers but refs themselves
@@lightkookyeah, it’s sad! Now that volleyball is getting this popular, they need to find professional announcers that are not controlled by their bias
Once Texas got past Tennessee, they were in a different volleyball dimension. Focused and adjusted to every team. Such a beauty of a tournament run. 🧡🏐🧡
Good news in the USA two women's professional volleyball leagues will start soon ! League NAME 1) *Pro Volleyball Federation* = January 24, 2024 start of season 1. 2) *League One Volleyball*
i feel like the announcers were kinda biased??? After Becca allick got a kill, they went crazy… and bergmark had a similar kill like two plays later and they said nothing💀
i think it’s bc they are so young and playing against veterans so they are probably super impressed that young players can play like that again very very experienced players
After analyzing this game very hard, I noticed that Texas almost RARELY served the ball to Lexi Rodriguez. and the times they did serve her, she hadn’t passed a ball in i don’t know how many plays, so they probably served her because she was cold and not in a groove. you could tell because she shanked a couple balls and after they served her, they would serve a different passer. Texas really did their homework for this match. And also for John Cook to call out Asjia O’Neal for being apart of Team USA and getting more practice, uhhh sir, hate to break it to you but it wasn’t just Asjia getting the aces. Maddi, Ella, Carissa and Keilei were getting their aces too
John Cook could have taken the high road and turned comments into a compliment. If he said something to the effect, "Well, you can see why Team USA picked her to play with them this summer . . ." that would have gone over better. But he made it seem like sour grapes. Yes she's a 6th year student but she's only played 5 years. Cook had 6th year students before like Stivrins and Caffey so it appears hypocritical of him to comment on O'Neal's 6th year. The other thing I do not understand is his comment about her serving. One of his assistants and former Husker, Jordan Larsen, played on Team USA as late as last year. Larsen plans to re-join Team USA for Paris 2024. Larsen is a good server so you would think her almost 15 years of Team USA and international experience would help the Huskers more than one summer that O'Neal got.
@@minhduong1484 his interview was full of contradictions. but I feel like had it been any other team BUT Texas to beat Nebraska, he wouldn’t have been mad. But it’s the fact that they lost miserably and also the history of players from both teams that transfer to each school as well that has Cook bothered. The fact that Keilei & Kayla transferred and won a championship with Texas, and now the fact that Whitney is transferring over too and we had Ayden Ames de-commit from Nebraska to go to Texas. John Cook may be a little salty that Texas is now taking over the collegiate volleyball world. Nebraska and Texas are neck and neck as far as completion goes and are head and shoulders above most teams but only one school wants to and can only be on top, so they both go back and forth trying to be the top dog for sure, and heated emotions get involved unfortunately.
@@danielenriquez8316 The Ayden Ames situation was interesting as it was so sudden. She committed in the summer but decommitted by November. That can happen but usually it is years between the two events. In the end we do not know the exact reason but it might have nothing to do with the two volleyball programs. Her family lives near Dallas and a 4 hour drive for her family to see her play in Austin might have been easier than the 10 hr drive to see her play in Lincoln.
This game is my #1 favorite re-watch. I love seeing Nebraska being so cocky in set 1, then progressively looking more & more like lost puppies as the match goes on 😂😂 Bonus points for Katie George's obvious anti-Texas bias. I think she wanted Nebraska to win more than Nebraska did. Womp Womp!! 🤣
i come back to rewatch this game every week. it's just so satisfying to see harper, laney, and becka get humbled with their unsportsmanship and attitude. even madi herself said "#5 needs to watch her mouth'' when talking to the up official. bergen, merritt, maisie, and lexi are the only mature players that don't cuss at their opponents, roll eyes, and showboat. if only the entire nebraska team was like that. and they wonder why they lost 😂
also on tiktok i saw Neb fans saying like on how they wished TX VB team spoke up bc Murray was getting a lot of hate. i’m sorry… NEB own fans’ send their own team hate as well & murray saying f u to molly said enough. beason maybe should be a better leader
These commentators gassing Nebraska as if this wasn’t the worst performance in NCAA history. Nebraska had all that media, all that coverage, and still… gave one of the most embarrassing showings I have ever seen. The commentators didn’t speak to how phenomenal the passing & defense was on Texas side. STFU!!!!! Halter & Akana put on a clinic in passing & defense. Nebraska should study them and happy Akana got her Natty against her former team. Boom Kanani.
Unfortunately when liberos and DS players just do their job, they are not recognized unless they are doing something heroic. Same with NFL linemen and announcers. Akana, Halter, and Barnes were solid but to be fair they did not need to do anything heroic most of the time as the Texas serves kept Nebraska scrambling.
I’ve watched this game probably 20 times and the announcers just make me so much happier that Texas swept Nebraska. They couldn’t stop fangirling even when Nebraska was losing miserably, and it was so annoying. Every time Nebraska got a point, it was a huge deal. When Texas went on an 11-0 run with 4 aces they had the same energy as Nebraska’s 3-0 run right before. Ella doesn’t set a perfect ball, they’re all “that ball was just too low for ___” and “Swindle needed to get her feet under the ball,” but Bergen Reilly doesn’t even attempt to get second contact on 1/3 of the balls and they say nothing. Also, they’re talking about how she played on varsity in the 8th grade for 20 seconds like that means something in the Championship. Ella had 5 kills and they’re not hyping her up that much, but Bergen does one good deep corner dump and they’re all “Texas knew she likes to do that, they knew it was coming, and still couldn’t get it”. They hyped up Lexi Rodriguez, saying Texas wouldn’t serve at her because she was too good, and she got aced a couple points later. Akana, Halter, and Barnes laid out for every ball, got assists, had amazing hitter coverage, and all got at least one ace, and they barely mentioned them at all. Even when they hyped up Jenna Wenaas, they couldn’t stop mentioning that she wasn’t playing super well early in the season, and usually not in a “look how far she’s come” way. Harper Murray shanks almost every ball served or hit at her, and they talk about how amazing she is when she gets one kill. There was not a single point in the game where they weren’t obviously rooting for Nebraska. The refs are a whole other conversation but bias like this shouldn’t be allowed from announcers.
People forget that Texas was ranked #1 pre-season. They recruited a top setter (#2 I believe) and returned everyone vital to their win last year except Eggleston and Fleck, who were adequately replaced. I would even argue that Skinner is better than Eggleston. This is not that underdog story everyone thinks it is. They just needed to put the pieces together.
@@tubidubi2044 They were doubted by people but the committee saw how good they actually were. They were not as bad as people were making them out to be. They deserved their high rankings. Everyone was up in arms when they were ranked #3. They clearly deserved it.
@kiaram8688 agreed! Everyone disagreed with the committee but look now! #1 team in the country. Even before the semis and finals, I said if NEB face Texas, it could easily be 3-0 in favor of Texas.
Yeah. I feel their early losses everyone thought they were out. As a Stanford fan hats off to them for sure. They completely obliterated Wisconsin, and Nebraska.
"not the underdog story"... what else did you want, they almost lost to Tennessee, they faced match point, one point could have changed this entire outcome... and were ranked 7th, below Oregon and Louisville who the committee believed was better (take that with a grain of salt, unfortunately the committee is biased most of the time, NCAA has shown their dislike for Texas on many occasions even in the media after Texas was in the final, showing way more love to Nebraska before the match), plus everyone believed Texas would lose to Tennessee including the "credible" Michella Chester and Emily Ehman, despite all of that, Texas came back to win and handled the top 3 overall seeds in a dominating fashion but not without executing their plan, it's easy to come up with a plan, it's super hard to make the best serve receiving team in the nation crack like that in a national championship. This is definitely an underdog story, and putting new pieces together to peak like that is not easy by any means, give Texas the credit they deserve, cause no one had them beating Stanford, Wisconsin, and Nebraska.
The refs was on straight bs. Throwing yellow cards and red cards. The long rally in the first set, the middle litterally touch the ball three times and they called net violation on Texas. Refs were not cooperative at all. And Nebraskas cockiness got them COOKED!
and they didnt give harper a yellow card when she literally said "fuck you bitch lets go" after blocking molly phillips at 37:39. also they were out of rotation TWICE and i saw many carries and doubles that were not called. not to mention choboy's mocking and unsportsmanship with the finger waving showboating et c.
Skinner and O'Neal are incredible players. Skinner - the way she elevates and swings with such power is so beautiful to watch. I found myself yelling "boom" on all of her kills. What a cannon!
Since I started watching women’s college volleyball, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Nebraska get completely dominated from the service line like that. They better work on reception next year if they want to make it back. Congrats Texas
I think their serve receive is outstanding, it's just their mental. They are gonna have to learn how to deal with their mentality for big moments like this because this wasn't the same Nebraska team i've watched all season

I think that at the beginning of the season, the Texas losses were caused because they were missing the leadership that Eggleston carried the year prior. It took her a couple of games to ease in, but Skinner rose to the occasion. Her play is undeniably elite, and her poise lead to leadership. She has the “killer mentality”. Madi knows how to win and she clearly raises the bar for those around her everyday.
NGL after seeing Texas at the beginning of the season, i had it in my head that they were gonna have a early tournament exit. No way in my head did i ever think they’d make an 11-0 run, knocking out the 3 #1 seeds on their way to a consecutive championship win. Great perseverance Texas.
@@pkgonzela5362 You're right. Texas barely won Tennessee (the underdog) in 5-sets by 2 points. After that it seems someone lit a fire and they outright dominated Stanford in a huge upset, then Wisconsin and then Nebraska for the title.

Embarrassing performance by Nebraska. Can’t believe they didn’t show up with a record breaking audience and viewership. Congrats to Texas for going back to back! Legendary!
@@randymcmurphy2308 😭😭😭 not ask Louisville, but your right. Nebraska should have prepped and scouted better, like there is no way they watched what Texas did to Wisconsin and let that happen to them that’s crazy. I also feel like Cook should have subbed some more people in like your down 11-18 in the third and you make no changes? It’s like the coaching staff gave up and the girls gave up
I think Nebraska was prepared for Skinner and Akana (who used to play for Nebraska) to serve tough. But they were not prepared for all of Texas players to serve that though. I think Halter is the only Texas server not to get an ace, but her serves got Nebraska out of system more times than nought.
@@minhduong1484 idk i still don’t think they were prepared for skinner, at least not her back row attacks. Even though they gave her a triple block that only worked one time. They did know to serve akana in serve recieve cause she’s decent in that part but she plays well defense. i just think nebraskas outsides don’t terminate the ball well, and bergen needed to set some bics or pipes more for harper & beason to try something different i could go n but yeah 😂
Three of the most biased announcers ever. They were in love with Lexi but didn't say a word when she missed passes... The announcers that did the Texas-Stanford game should have been doing the Championship game. They know how to praise players on both teams without it being favoritism. These three talked for four whole points about the setter for Texas having to change her style, meanwhile Aisha O'neal was serving up aces and points. The screaming by the lead announcer was embarrassing! Can you imagine if a male had done that!??
They keep saying "every single face" of the Nebraska team returning next season like we are supposed to be scared...uuhhh! Other teams will be returning, too!
Yep, we should all just quit before the season since that Nebraska player "guaranteed" they will win the next 3 natty in a row. We should all just believe her and forfeit the season. Writing checks her mouth can't cash. Other teams have some bulletin board material now when they face NU. Gonna be a fun season next year.
@@Allen-hg2hu can’t wait to see how this turns out👀👀 noticed when they asked the same question to Ella, coach said no without hesitation cause he knows better😌🤘🏽
The refs missing that double call on Bekka Allick should be enough to get them fired. There’s no way you’re not cheating or blind if you don’t call that, and whichever it is, you shouldn’t be allowed to continue reffing
@@amaya3768 Bergen wasn't the one out of rotation it was the middle, she was supposed to be behind Harper Murray. They're in R1 and the next server is Harper, so in no wayyyyy should the Middle be in-front of her go to 38:17 and watch the same rotation but in order, not out of rotation.
Also, on the play where Becca Allick hit the ball three times. When they showed on the replay, you could clearly see her arm graze, the net before Wenas went into the net.
Yeah, this whole game seemed biased in favor of Nebraska, from the announcers to the the refs not calling very obvious infractions. Texas still dismantled Nebraska though😂
@@maddiecurtis7945 1. Choboy is running around the court finger wagging and showboating all the time, yet that's not taunting?? 2. Early 2nd set Murray says something before turning around, after blocking Phillips @37:38 3. @43:50 Jackson says something after the block None of these even got warnings from the refs, but as soon as Asjia does it, the refs are on her... And keep in mind ALL of those things happened before Asjia "taunted" back.
@@W4TSKY well they didn’t back it up you can do all the talking you want but if your game don’t match it then it’s embrassing. Choboy got aced so many times Cook took her out. And Andi Jackson got what 2 kills the whole game? Other than that it was blocked our out or she didn’t get a set. Bekka got what two kills? Harper got aced how many times? And then got aced in match point😭 they had no reason to b taunting. And Texas didn’t even need to talk shit cause there game was gonna back it up 🤘🏾🧡
@@ashleeshenanigans You right. Texas stood on business and Nebraska looked like some clowns, especially when they doubled down in the press conference. I'm glad that Texas dog walked them because if it were close you know the NCAA/refs would've given it to Nebraska. Elliott's red card for being upset that they weren't called for being out of rotation and letting Nebraska taunt but not Texas are just examples of how rigged this could've been if Texas wasn't the clear better team. Hook em baby!!
@@ashleeshenanigans I was rooting for Texas tbh, I love Skinner & Halter, but I've known abt Choboy for so long I was so disappointed in the playing. Go Longhorns 🤘
1:14:30 The way the announcers react to this rally is all the proof needed to show how biased they are. Instead of complimenting Bella Bergmark on reading the play well and getting the kill, they’re talking about Harper Murray diving into the table. She had great pursuit of the ball, but maybe talk about the person who actually scored the point
@@MaryYoungblood-xy8vg your right she is, but I personally just like when Paul does it not to mention his corny jokes and charisma just makes him really good.
By the time Texas reached this stage of the tournament they where fully battle tested and had absorbed every team’s best shots. In the words Rudy Tomjanovich, “never underestimate the ❤️ of a champion”. HOOKEM 🤟🏽🤘🏼
I keep finding myself rewatching this game over and over again just to watch how texas completely dominated nebraska. This is like my 3rd time rewatching this game🤘🧡 Hookem And also I think nebraska came to this game very cocky bc texas had a rocky start and they haven't lost a game but they got humbled real quick.
@@idek__anymore I’ve watched the Tennessee Stanford Wisconsin game & this one over 20 times! The way Texas dominated the post season is simply unheard of! The way they battled and fought back to win it all! Truly electrifying & gratifying
@@KEAWE7 it was the middle and Murray, she (the middle) was supposed to be behind Harper Murray. They're in R1 and the next server is Harper, so in no wayyyyy should the Middle be in-front of her
Love seeing a crowd that was head-deep into this game. Great showing by Texas, who was simply the better team that night. Hats off to Nebraska that they forced the absolute best out of the Longhorns.
as a texas fan, I told my friend that texas might not get past stanford, and I was wrong. then I said they def wouldn’t make it past wisconsin, but texas put wisconsin to bed with a lullaby. And as for the champ game, no words. did nebraska even show up for the game at all? or did their fans play for them because this was quite embarrassing to watch. they were all bark no bite when it really mattered. taught them lil girls a tough lesson. to the entire nebraska roster, TAKE SEVERAL SEATS.
i agree with this. before this game i have never really watched neb through the season but i heard a lot about the freshman harper murray. i was disappointed with her performance and attitude in this game. her hitting was awesome but every play starts with a pass, which she was struggling with. its hard for someone who is tall/less experienced to play the backrow and harper murray was the definition of this. the head coach shouldve saw this and sat her out to reset for the front row.
@@mightbealyI agree!! I don’t know what John cook was thinking keeping Ally #14 in the game when she was clearly costing them points offensively like you have other talented outsides on the bench, put them in to see something different
Huge congrats to Texas! Props to their coaching staff as well for scouting Nebraska very well in order to pick apart their game play. And to Nebraska-better lock in during serve receive drills in practice in the off season.. Way to fight as a unit Texas!
Their serve receive is fine as well as everything else. People forget that they were 33-1 coming into the tournament. What they need is the right psyche to forget errors, hunker down and move on. As with any competitive sport, no amount of training or experience will work if you don't have the right mindset.
I think Nebraska was ready for Texas serve, because Coach Cook did stay and scout both Texas & Wisconsin. He knew Texas gonna serve tough, & likely prepared his players for it. @jonjonjrfrmcali is correct; gotta have right mindset.
If you know NCAA women's volleyball, that's why Super talents *Madisen Skinner and Asjia O'Neal are two of the best players in the NCAA at their respective positions, two future USA USWNT National Team players.* Asjia O'Neal has already played for the USA USWNT at the VNL 2023 Tournament. both will be TOP 5 world star volleyball players in a couple years. + Libero is a big talent. + Setter is a big talent. + Nebraska players have less experience their main players play 1-2 seasons in NCAA. Nebraska's team didn't stand a chance.
At 44:48 - The Curse of the Horns Down gesture. That was so disrespectful. But it was like the reverse Celie Color Purple curse. After that moment and timeout, the match was over! Everything that Nebraska did failed. 🤣🤣
texas will be even better next season. we’ll see a rematch between these two powerhouse programs again next championship. let’s hope nebraska will learn how to serve receive by then
see I would not have had a problem with them talking smack cause that’s part of the game but if yk you can’t back it up you should just not talk 😭 Asjia can talk her shit cause she can back it up , Nebraska never can
If anybody remember that Coach Elliot said that he wanted to have a major volleyball game in a stadium right before Tx played for the championship in 2022. Then Cook jumps up and get it done at the beginning of the season. Also they played a team that wasn't ranked at all to insure they had a win.
28:38 I would’ve gotten a red card with the Texas head Coach. I can’t see how none of the officials or anyone at the table didn’t catch that Nebraska was out of rotation
@@KEAWE7 They're in R1 and the next server is Harper Murray, so in no wayyyyy should the Middle be in-front of her, and since they're stacking in z4 with Murray passing and hitting there, the middle can't be where she is. go to 38:17 and watch the same rotation but in order, not out of rotation.
It was fun watching those Nebraska brats get humbled. Hard to believe with Jordan Larsen as assistant the team is allowed to have such stank attitudes. Then again Coach Cook is a crank, too, the way he whined about Asjia O’Neal in the presser.
In hindsight maybe they should have taken out Murray for a while. The problem is if they took out everyone that had a bad pass, they would have taken out most of the team. Players that got aced: Murray, Batenhorst, Beason, Choboy, and Rodriguez. Nebraska did put in subs and they almost got aced: Kubik and Boesiger. Every time Nebraska tried to adjust their passing, Texas countered by attacking the weakest player in the rotation.
I know the serve receive was horrendous, but another huge issue for Nebraska was their lack of hitter coverage. Texas kept giving their hitters second chances while Nebraska was one & done.
If you look closely at 24:57, Becca Alec is in the net before wenaas. That should’ve been Texas’s point🤦🏻♀️ they probably weren’t even looking for another touch.
i’m still concerned that BOTH refs didn’t call or see a double contact on Alleck @ 23:30. it was so obvious she contacted the ball twice: once in the net, and 2nd time when the ball bounced off the net
I was yelling through my tv like “ that’s a double “ 😭 I was so pissed, I’m ngl I feel like the refs where pulling for Nebraska multiple times but it’s okay cause Texas won in the end
The ball had also hit the ground before Jenna was in the net. You can see it on the side camera at 24:57, so that’s at least three things they could’ve called to give Texas the point but didn’t
I love how Nebraskas player number 5 touched the ball 2 TIMES and Texas touched the net it was supposed to be suspended the point but it gaved it to Nebraska although they made a fault to
i love nebraska and this loss was heartbreaking but they were just playing sloppy. the serve receive was just messy, and they just couldnt get balls up off the block.
Coming back to watch this match after all the excitement has settled I actually feel bad for Nebraska now 😂 they got embarrassed on national tv & Cook made no adjustments. I mean a literal beat down! After seeing how Texas did Wisconsin, Nebraska had to know they were coming next! 😢 Hookem baby 🤘🏽
26:26 The play that beat Nebraska. Murry is incledible. But Ladies and Gentlemen. 2 × NCAA Champion hitting OPP for the University of Texas. Molly Phillips.
i highly believe the entire NCAA program was favored towards Nebraska. why did they end the video so early? from the past, when i watched the NCAA championship VB women, there would always been some time of interview of the coach or a player ON THIS VIDEO. i know they did one afterwards, but not on this video, so why changed it. why were the confetti delay this year?
I would hope that next year whoever is playing in the finals will have non biased announcers . Just announce the game. Quit trying to sell the players , their past , their future . Fine someone Europe who will announce the game as a professional !!
Agree! And someone who knows their info/facts bc semi-finals with WI vs TX. They keep saying TX hasn’t beaten WI since 2006. When they literally went against each other in the 2020 semi-finals
First time watching ncaa usa. These teams are great. Nebraska jist got trouble with their reception I guess. Texas got their spikes and serves real good
Meritt B and Lexi R should rewatch this game. They should learn how to be better captains, like telling AJ, Bekka, Harper, and Laney not to stare down, talk crap, etc through the net too early or karma will hit. They clearly don’t do that and it happened throughout the season. They finally got humbled. Also Meritt should stop making excuses lol, I get that you are trying to defend your team and they did their best, but they literally gave up after those 4 aces straight, and couldn’t do it no more. Be better leaders and tell your teammates to be good sportsmanship
1:09:44 Congratulating Lexi Rodrigruez on stepping in for that 2nd ball to get Harper Murray that swing, as if Emma halter didn't just do the exact same thing for Madi Skinner the point right before and many more times before. 😐
The announcers excuse would be “well that’s Emma Halter’s job”. This entire match they mainly praised Nebraska even when Texas did the same skill. When they did praise Texas, they would still throw Nebraska in there because the announcers wanted NB to win
Also didn’t say a single thing about Lexi when she shanked a few serve received. They keep on saying Texas better be ready for NB bc they will respond or trying to correct Texas mistakes. They didn’t do that until half way through set 3 when they knew that there is no way that they were going to win / get back / get on top of their game
Anyone who beats Stanford deserves to win 😂😂 congrats, and hats off to Texas. Tbh I was one of them who counted them out but damn they hella played hard 💪
As a Texas fan, I was nervous 😅 Traveling to Palo Alto to face a tough Vols team and then Stanford after the early season sweep was a tall ask. But they played brilliantly.
@@ashleeshenanigans This isn't fair to compare a class that happen to win three championships to this years team. Stanford 2022 and Stanford 2023 teams where really good. They just got beat by other good teams. It happens. As a Texas fan, we have had plenty of teams who where talented enough to win a championship but would lose earlier than expected. Look at Stanford before the 2016 class. You could argue that they had sum of the most under achieving teams ever with all the talent they had.
At 24:32 when Bekka Allick had the double touch and Madisen is talking to the up official you can make out the words “#5 yeah I think we saw a double touch” and the refs still didn’t say anything about it
9:50 "Becka Al lock with the set are you kidding me?! middle blocker with those pretty hands!" 1:02:36: Beth mark sets the exact same ball and Jenna gets a kill off of it: nothing?
Nebraska will be even more incredible next year - all players returning. Texas played amazing and had great chemistry after winning the 5-setter against Tennessee. Hook 'em.
28:38 vs 38:17 That's why the texas coach was so upset, that was clearly out of rotation, why aren't you able to challenge that i have no idea not only that, at 37:56 Kubic and Murray are out of rotation again, Koubik is in 4 and Murray in 2 before the serve, and they're not !!
At around the 44:47 mark, Husker fans do the horns down, but shortly thereafter, the Huskers went on to lose BIGLY to the Texas Longhorns in straight and decisive sets. Hook'em!
Halter, Barnes and Akana needed more regonicition. They put on a master class in passing and defense
Their defense was stellar.
Phenomenal!
Akana specially low-key several incredible digs weren’t getting mentioned
These announcers love Lexi Rodriguez, talking about her all night as Emma Halter puts on a libero masterclass.
RIGHT!!!??? Whenever Lexi get a big dig/save, they would literally scream her name. But with Emma, they barely said anything or in general anything at all
@@lightkookthey also talk about Harper Murray all night while they are getting destroyed.
@@owlsonik37 yes! they don’t talk a lot about Akana even tho she had amazing saves/digs. even if Neb lost a point, they would literally still talk about Neb defense but not Texas. Neb this and that, even at match point. Idk if it’s just me but from the past on their Insta, they would post some of the amazing highlights or rallys. They didn’t do that this year, but only Neb mainly. This is the most biased game I have ever seen. Not just from announcers but refs themselves
@@lightkookyeah, it’s sad! Now that volleyball is getting this popular, they need to find professional announcers that are not controlled by their bias
@@owlsonik37 right! i miss Karch and Paul!
Texas absolutely dominated. That was fun. Their service pressure agsinst both Wisconsin and Nebraska was insane
So true.
Once Texas got past Tennessee, they were in a different volleyball dimension. Focused and adjusted to every team. Such a beauty of a tournament run. 🧡🏐🧡

Good news in the USA two women's professional volleyball leagues will start soon ! League NAME 1) *Pro Volleyball Federation* = January 24, 2024 start of season 1.

i feel like the announcers were kinda biased??? After Becca allick got a kill, they went crazy… and bergmark had a similar kill like two plays later and they said nothing💀
RIGHT! Even WI vs TX, they were biased and didn’t want TX to win. But TX showed them what’s up
The anti-Texas bias is always so obvious with these announcers. Especially with Katie George. ESPN needs to correct that ASAP.
i think it’s bc they are so young and playing against veterans so they are probably super impressed that young players can play like that again very very experienced players
Texas served Nebraska a big slice of humble pie. Nebraska was too full of themselves Texas was the champions to beat!!!!
Straight facts!!!
FACTS !!
Very facts!
Exactly 🎉🎉🎉
Super happy for Texas, though a bit sad for Ally cause I know her from high school and they we’re having a really good season until now
After analyzing this game very hard, I noticed that Texas almost RARELY served the ball to Lexi Rodriguez. and the times they did serve her, she hadn’t passed a ball in i don’t know how many plays, so they probably served her because she was cold and not in a groove. you could tell because she shanked a couple balls and after they served her, they would serve a different passer. Texas really did their homework for this match.
And also for John Cook to call out Asjia O’Neal for being apart of Team USA and getting more practice, uhhh sir, hate to break it to you but it wasn’t just Asjia getting the aces. Maddi, Ella, Carissa and Keilei were getting their aces too
John Cook could have taken the high road and turned comments into a compliment. If he said something to the effect, "Well, you can see why Team USA picked her to play with them this summer . . ." that would have gone over better. But he made it seem like sour grapes. Yes she's a 6th year student but she's only played 5 years. Cook had 6th year students before like Stivrins and Caffey so it appears hypocritical of him to comment on O'Neal's 6th year.
The other thing I do not understand is his comment about her serving. One of his assistants and former Husker, Jordan Larsen, played on Team USA as late as last year. Larsen plans to re-join Team USA for Paris 2024. Larsen is a good server so you would think her almost 15 years of Team USA and international experience would help the Huskers more than one summer that O'Neal got.
@@minhduong1484 his interview was full of contradictions. but I feel like had it been any other team BUT Texas to beat Nebraska, he wouldn’t have been mad. But it’s the fact that they lost miserably and also the history of players from both teams that transfer to each school as well that has Cook bothered. The fact that Keilei & Kayla transferred and won a championship with Texas, and now the fact that Whitney is transferring over too and we had Ayden Ames de-commit from Nebraska to go to Texas. John Cook may be a little salty that Texas is now taking over the collegiate volleyball world. Nebraska and Texas are neck and neck as far as completion goes and are head and shoulders above most teams but only one school wants to and can only be on top, so they both go back and forth trying to be the top dog for sure, and heated emotions get involved unfortunately.
@@danielenriquez8316 The Ayden Ames situation was interesting as it was so sudden. She committed in the summer but decommitted by November. That can happen but usually it is years between the two events. In the end we do not know the exact reason but it might have nothing to do with the two volleyball programs. Her family lives near Dallas and a 4 hour drive for her family to see her play in Austin might have been easier than the 10 hr drive to see her play in Lincoln.
@@minhduong1484 Also, Ames will very likely get playing time immediately with Texas. Nebraska has Allick and Jackson established in their line-up.
@@colbybrand5326not to mention with the sr from San Diego coming in too
This game is my #1 favorite re-watch. I love seeing Nebraska being so cocky in set 1, then progressively looking more & more like lost puppies as the match goes on 😂😂
Bonus points for Katie George's obvious anti-Texas bias. I think she wanted Nebraska to win more than Nebraska did. Womp Womp!! 🤣
you just like me
real
i come back to rewatch this game every week. it's just so satisfying to see harper, laney, and becka get humbled with their unsportsmanship and attitude. even madi herself said "#5 needs to watch her mouth'' when talking to the up official. bergen, merritt, maisie, and lexi are the only mature players that don't cuss at their opponents, roll eyes, and showboat. if only the entire nebraska team was like that. and they wonder why they lost 😂
I'm rewatching this game for probably my 7th or 8th time. It's an incredible beat-down. Texas made Nebraska look like a bunch of has-beens.
also on tiktok i saw Neb fans saying like on how they wished TX VB team spoke up bc Murray was getting a lot of hate. i’m sorry… NEB own fans’ send their own team hate as well & murray saying f u to molly said enough. beason maybe should be a better leader
These commentators gassing Nebraska as if this wasn’t the worst performance in NCAA history. Nebraska had all that media, all that coverage, and still… gave one of the most embarrassing showings I have ever seen. The commentators didn’t speak to how phenomenal the passing & defense was on Texas side. STFU!!!!! Halter & Akana put on a clinic in passing & defense. Nebraska should study them and happy Akana got her Natty against her former team. Boom Kanani.
Unfortunately when liberos and DS players just do their job, they are not recognized unless they are doing something heroic. Same with NFL linemen and announcers. Akana, Halter, and Barnes were solid but to be fair they did not need to do anything heroic most of the time as the Texas serves kept Nebraska scrambling.
I’ve watched this game probably 20 times and the announcers just make me so much happier that Texas swept Nebraska. They couldn’t stop fangirling even when Nebraska was losing miserably, and it was so annoying.
Every time Nebraska got a point, it was a huge deal. When Texas went on an 11-0 run with 4 aces they had the same energy as Nebraska’s 3-0 run right before.
Ella doesn’t set a perfect ball, they’re all “that ball was just too low for ___” and “Swindle needed to get her feet under the ball,” but Bergen Reilly doesn’t even attempt to get second contact on 1/3 of the balls and they say nothing. Also, they’re talking about how she played on varsity in the 8th grade for 20 seconds like that means something in the Championship. Ella had 5 kills and they’re not hyping her up that much, but Bergen does one good deep corner dump and they’re all “Texas knew she likes to do that, they knew it was coming, and still couldn’t get it”.
They hyped up Lexi Rodriguez, saying Texas wouldn’t serve at her because she was too good, and she got aced a couple points later. Akana, Halter, and Barnes laid out for every ball, got assists, had amazing hitter coverage, and all got at least one ace, and they barely mentioned them at all.
Even when they hyped up Jenna Wenaas, they couldn’t stop mentioning that she wasn’t playing super well early in the season, and usually not in a “look how far she’s come” way. Harper Murray shanks almost every ball served or hit at her, and they talk about how amazing she is when she gets one kill.
There was not a single point in the game where they weren’t obviously rooting for Nebraska. The refs are a whole other conversation but bias like this shouldn’t be allowed from announcers.
Not to mention that they repeat every play of Nebraska point or not. But they don't replay Texas points hardly at all.
Totally agree 💯
I was literally thinking this the whole time, it made me so mad on how much the hyped Nebraska up.
Its like every point they praise Nebraska even when Texas gets the point
Lol glad I wasn’t the only one ! You nailed it!
People forget that Texas was ranked #1 pre-season. They recruited a top setter (#2 I believe) and returned everyone vital to their win last year except Eggleston and Fleck, who were adequately replaced. I would even argue that Skinner is better than Eggleston. This is not that underdog story everyone thinks it is. They just needed to put the pieces together.
@@tubidubi2044 They were doubted by people but the committee saw how good they actually were. They were not as bad as people were making them out to be. They deserved their high rankings. Everyone was up in arms when they were ranked #3. They clearly deserved it.
@kiaram8688 agreed! Everyone disagreed with the committee but look now! #1 team in the country. Even before the semis and finals, I said if NEB face Texas, it could easily be 3-0 in favor of Texas.
Yeah. I feel their early losses everyone thought they were out. As a Stanford fan hats off to them for sure. They completely obliterated Wisconsin, and Nebraska.
"not the underdog story"... what else did you want, they almost lost to Tennessee, they faced match point, one point could have changed this entire outcome... and were ranked 7th, below Oregon and Louisville who the committee believed was better (take that with a grain of salt, unfortunately the committee is biased most of the time, NCAA has shown their dislike for Texas on many occasions even in the media after Texas was in the final, showing way more love to Nebraska before the match), plus everyone believed Texas would lose to Tennessee including the "credible" Michella Chester and Emily Ehman, despite all of that, Texas came back to win and handled the top 3 overall seeds in a dominating fashion but not without executing their plan, it's easy to come up with a plan, it's super hard to make the best serve receiving team in the nation crack like that in a national championship. This is definitely an underdog story, and putting new pieces together to peak like that is not easy by any means, give Texas the credit they deserve, cause no one had them beating Stanford, Wisconsin, and Nebraska.
@@messca8 The committee ranked them properly and everyone was angry about it. They clearly were right and Texas deserved a high ranking.
The refs was on straight bs. Throwing yellow cards and red cards. The long rally in the first set, the middle litterally touch the ball three times and they called net violation on Texas. Refs were not cooperative at all. And Nebraskas cockiness got them COOKED!
and they didnt give harper a yellow card when she literally said "fuck you bitch lets go" after blocking molly phillips at 37:39. also they were out of rotation TWICE and i saw many carries and doubles that were not called. not to mention choboy's mocking and unsportsmanship with the finger waving showboating et c.
I know I’m so late to this but I was watching that over and over and there was another scene when smb blocked the hit the ball twice smh !!
Skinner and O'Neal are incredible players. Skinner - the way she elevates and swings with such power is so beautiful to watch. I found myself yelling "boom" on all of her kills. What a cannon!
TEXAS IS INCREDIBLE!
This game was the most dominant finals performance I’ve ever seen!
They took it to Nebraska, but I think there was a lot of choke going on as well. Put those two together and you get a blowout.
Since I started watching women’s college volleyball, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Nebraska get completely dominated from the service line like that. They better work on reception next year if they want to make it back.
Congrats Texas
I think their serve receive is outstanding, it's just their mental. They are gonna have to learn how to deal with their mentality for big moments like this because this wasn't the same Nebraska team i've watched all season

I think that at the beginning of the season, the Texas losses were caused because they were missing the leadership that Eggleston carried the year prior. It took her a couple of games to ease in, but Skinner rose to the occasion. Her play is undeniably elite, and her poise lead to leadership. She has the “killer mentality”. Madi knows how to win and she clearly raises the bar for those around her everyday.
Absolutely right..
NGL after seeing Texas at the beginning of the season, i had it in my head that they were gonna have a early tournament exit. No way in my head did i ever think they’d make an 11-0 run, knocking out the 3 #1 seeds on their way to a consecutive championship win. Great perseverance Texas.
yeah Everyone had their eye on Nebraska, Wisconsin and maybe Pitt. Somewhere at the national semifinals Texas finally figured it out.
@@jonjonjrfrmcali I think Texas got it figured out, one point from going home, on 4th set vs Tennessee.
I was thinking if they passed Wisconsin they would win 😆
@@pkgonzela5362 You're right. Texas barely won Tennessee (the underdog) in 5-sets by 2 points. After that it seems someone lit a fire and they outright dominated Stanford in a huge upset, then Wisconsin and then Nebraska for the title.

Embarrassing performance by Nebraska. Can’t believe they didn’t show up with a record breaking audience and viewership. Congrats to Texas for going back to back! Legendary!
I don’t think anyone predicted a sweep let alone from Texas but they showed up and dominated
That's what Texas does in title games. Ask Louisville
@@randymcmurphy2308 😭😭😭 not ask Louisville, but your right. Nebraska should have prepped and scouted better, like there is no way they watched what Texas did to Wisconsin and let that happen to them that’s crazy. I also feel like Cook should have subbed some more people in like your down 11-18 in the third and you make no changes? It’s like the coaching staff gave up and the girls gave up
I am not surprised, considering their win against Wisconsin being so dominant
I think Nebraska was prepared for Skinner and Akana (who used to play for Nebraska) to serve tough. But they were not prepared for all of Texas players to serve that though. I think Halter is the only Texas server not to get an ace, but her serves got Nebraska out of system more times than nought.
@@minhduong1484 idk i still don’t think they were prepared for skinner, at least not her back row attacks. Even though they gave her a triple block that only worked one time. They did know to serve akana in serve recieve cause she’s decent in that part but she plays well defense. i just think nebraskas outsides don’t terminate the ball well, and bergen needed to set some bics or pipes more for harper & beason to try something different i could go n but yeah 😂
Ella is the real deal. Texas got a great one in number 1.
Nebraska broke from the pressure of Texas’ serve and never recovered

Three of the most biased announcers ever. They were in love with Lexi but didn't say a word when she missed passes... The announcers that did the Texas-Stanford game should have been doing the Championship game. They know how to praise players on both teams without it being favoritism. These three talked for four whole points about the setter for Texas having to change her style, meanwhile Aisha O'neal was serving up aces and points. The screaming by the lead announcer was embarrassing! Can you imagine if a male had done that!??
We are used to it. They were just as biased last year when Texas swept Louisville. 😅
I absolutely love coming back here and watching Texas demolish Nebraska🤘🏾🧡
I was hopeful Texas would win the Championship but I never expected such dominance! That was beautiful to watch!
How was this dominant? They barely won. I don’t understand this notion that they dominated
@@boomds5602what.. nebraska did not even get to 15 in the last two sets, do you only think dominance happens if it’s something like 25-5?
They keep saying "every single face" of the Nebraska team returning next season like we are supposed to be scared...uuhhh! Other teams will be returning, too!
Oh wait some are leaving…🤭🤣
@@MiguelHernandez-yv4frexactly !! There acting like there aren’t any DOMINANT teams returning as well 😭😭
Yep, we should all just quit before the season since that Nebraska player "guaranteed" they will win the next 3 natty in a row. We should all just believe her and forfeit the season. Writing checks her mouth can't cash. Other teams have some bulletin board material now when they face NU. Gonna be a fun season next year.
@@princeypooh9853 LOL! The comedy of it all!
@@Allen-hg2hu can’t wait to see how this turns out👀👀 noticed when they asked the same question to Ella, coach said no without hesitation cause he knows better😌🤘🏽
The refs missing that double call on Bekka Allick should be enough to get them fired. There’s no way you’re not cheating or blind if you don’t call that, and whichever it is, you shouldn’t be allowed to continue reffing
that and the out-of-rotation from Bergen when Halter was serving... and then Texas got the red card??? idk..
@@amaya3768 Bergen wasn't the one out of rotation it was the middle, she was supposed to be behind Harper Murray. They're in R1 and the next server is Harper, so in no wayyyyy should the Middle be in-front of her
go to 38:17 and watch the same rotation but in order, not out of rotation.
i was waiting for someone to talk about this!!
Also, on the play where Becca Allick hit the ball three times. When they showed on the replay, you could clearly see her arm graze, the net before Wenas went into the net.
Yeah, this whole game seemed biased in favor of Nebraska, from the announcers to the the refs not calling very obvious infractions.
Texas still dismantled Nebraska though😂
Funny how Nebraska was talking smack all match and the refs did nothing but were quick to get on O’Neal… 👀
When?
@@maddiecurtis7945 1. Choboy is running around the court finger wagging and showboating all the time, yet that's not taunting??
2. Early 2nd set Murray says something before turning around, after blocking Phillips @37:38
3. @43:50 Jackson says something after the block
None of these even got warnings from the refs, but as soon as Asjia does it, the refs are on her... And keep in mind ALL of those things happened before Asjia "taunted" back.
@@W4TSKY well they didn’t back it up you can do all the talking you want but if your game don’t match it then it’s embrassing. Choboy got aced so many times Cook took her out. And Andi Jackson got what 2 kills the whole game? Other than that it was blocked our out or she didn’t get a set. Bekka got what two kills? Harper got aced how many times? And then got aced in match point😭 they had no reason to b taunting. And Texas didn’t even need to talk shit cause there game was gonna back it up 🤘🏾🧡
@@ashleeshenanigans You right. Texas stood on business and Nebraska looked like some clowns, especially when they doubled down in the press conference. I'm glad that Texas dog walked them because if it were close you know the NCAA/refs would've given it to Nebraska. Elliott's red card for being upset that they weren't called for being out of rotation and letting Nebraska taunt but not Texas are just examples of how rigged this could've been if Texas wasn't the clear better team. Hook em baby!!
@@ashleeshenanigans I was rooting for Texas tbh, I love Skinner & Halter, but I've known abt Choboy for so long I was so disappointed in the playing. Go Longhorns 🤘
The Longhorns proved they were the greatest team. Total domination of the supposed best team in college. This match wasn’t even close
1:14:30 The way the announcers react to this rally is all the proof needed to show how biased they are. Instead of complimenting Bella Bergmark on reading the play well and getting the kill, they’re talking about Harper Murray diving into the table. She had great pursuit of the ball, but maybe talk about the person who actually scored the point
These commentators were not it at all. Straight bias for Nebraska
They should have gotten Paul Sunderland and Karch Kiraly cause they KNOW volleyball not those ladies
Hold the slight. Really only the PBP announcer. The color analyst better at being even for both teams.
@@MaryYoungblood-xy8vg your right she is, but I personally just like when Paul does it not to mention his corny jokes and charisma just makes him really good.
lol no same i love when paul announces he’s so funny to me
Preach. I miss Paul Sunderland calling the championship
By the time Texas reached this stage of the tournament they where fully battle tested and had absorbed every team’s best shots. In the words Rudy Tomjanovich, “never underestimate the ❤️ of a champion”. HOOKEM 🤟🏽🤘🏼
I keep coming back to watch how Texas embarrassed Nebraska on national television! What a time 🤘🏽🧡 Hookem
I keep finding myself rewatching this game over and over again just to watch how texas completely dominated nebraska. This is like my 3rd time rewatching this game🤘🧡 Hookem
And also I think nebraska came to this game very cocky bc texas had a rocky start and they haven't lost a game but they got humbled real quick.
@@idek__anymore I’ve watched the Tennessee Stanford Wisconsin game & this one over 20 times! The way Texas dominated the post season is simply unheard of! The way they battled and fought back to win it all! Truly electrifying & gratifying
And here I am watching again. 🧡
up until this day, I can't believe the out of rotation play at 28:38 was not called, terrible work by the officials
I'm new when come to volleyball. Can you explain who was out of rotation? I think it was Murray.
@@KEAWE7 it was the middle and Murray, she (the middle) was supposed to be behind Harper Murray. They're in R1 and the next server is Harper, so in no wayyyyy should the Middle be in-front of her
Best season of all time for the Longhorns. Greatness comeback year of all time 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Love seeing a crowd that was head-deep into this game. Great showing by Texas, who was simply the better team that night. Hats off to Nebraska that they forced the absolute best out of the Longhorns.
Nothing better than watching Texas completely destroy Nebraska. Texas dominated, showed their perseverance this year. Deserved it!.
Nothing better than watching Texas completely destroy Nebraska
Why is that?
@@destinypirate Why do you ask why is that?
Nebraska needed a little humble pie. Texas gave it to them.
Concur. Husker tears are delicious. 😁
The first Big 12 football championship was super sweet by Texas as well. Everyone had Nebraska dominating and Texas pulled that win out 37-27 :)
as a texas fan, I told my friend that texas might not get past stanford, and I was wrong. then I said they def wouldn’t make it past wisconsin, but texas put wisconsin to bed with a lullaby. And as for the champ game, no words. did nebraska even show up for the game at all? or did their fans play for them because this was quite embarrassing to watch. they were all bark no bite when it really mattered. taught them lil girls a tough lesson. to the entire nebraska roster, TAKE SEVERAL SEATS.
Have all the seats!🪑🪑🪑🪑
DON’T UNDERESTIMATE TEXAS! Well they actually thrived on that all tournament! THEY WENT BEAST MODE to prove the HATERS WRONG!
Harper Murry made a very bold statement in her post conference interview I really think she better work on her passing and defense on the off season
other then that her hitting was better then her team mates
i agree with this. before this game i have never really watched neb through the season but i heard a lot about the freshman harper murray. i was disappointed with her performance and attitude in this game. her hitting was awesome but every play starts with a pass, which she was struggling with. its hard for someone who is tall/less experienced to play the backrow and harper murray was the definition of this. the head coach shouldve saw this and sat her out to reset for the front row.
@@mightbealyI agree!! I don’t know what John cook was thinking keeping Ally #14 in the game when she was clearly costing them points offensively like you have other talented outsides on the bench, put them in to see something different
Huge congrats to Texas! Props to their coaching staff as well for scouting Nebraska very well in order to pick apart their game play. And to Nebraska-better lock in during serve receive drills in practice in the off season.. Way to fight as a unit Texas!
Their serve receive is fine as well as everything else. People forget that they were 33-1 coming into the tournament. What they need is the right psyche to forget errors, hunker down and move on. As with any competitive sport, no amount of training or experience will work if you don't have the right mindset.
I think Nebraska was ready for Texas serve, because Coach Cook did stay and scout both Texas & Wisconsin. He knew Texas gonna serve tough, & likely prepared his players for it. @jonjonjrfrmcali is correct; gotta have right mindset.
If you know NCAA women's volleyball, that's why Super talents *Madisen Skinner and Asjia O'Neal are two of the best players in the NCAA at their respective positions, two future USA USWNT National Team players.* Asjia O'Neal has already played for the USA USWNT at the VNL 2023 Tournament. both will be TOP 5 world star volleyball players in a couple years. + Libero is a big talent. + Setter is a big talent. + Nebraska players have less experience their main players play 1-2 seasons in NCAA.

At 44:48 - The Curse of the Horns Down gesture. That was so disrespectful. But it was like the reverse Celie Color Purple curse. After that moment and timeout, the match was over! Everything that Nebraska did failed. 🤣🤣
texas will be even better next season. we’ll see a rematch between these two powerhouse programs again next championship. let’s hope nebraska will learn how to serve receive by then
Watching the neb players (talking smack) on the court THE WHOLE GAME and BEING SWEPT and Texas just shutting them up. just feels so correct🤭🫶🏼

If anybody remember that Coach Elliot said that he wanted to have a major volleyball game in a stadium right before Tx played for the championship in 2022. Then Cook jumps up and get it done at the beginning of the season. Also they played a team that wasn't ranked at all to insure they had a win.
28:38 I would’ve gotten a red card with the Texas head Coach. I can’t see how none of the officials or anyone at the table didn’t catch that Nebraska was out of rotation
Can you explain who was out of rotation? I think it was Murray, but I am not sure. i was trying to figure it out.
@@KEAWE7 They're in R1 and the next server is Harper Murray, so in no wayyyyy should the Middle be in-front of her, and since they're stacking in z4 with Murray passing and hitting there, the middle can't be where she is.
go to 38:17 and watch the same rotation but in order, not out of rotation.
@@nolajoe580 thank you very much!
Texas broke Nebraska's spirit in that second set.
23:26 such a good rally! But there was a pretty obvious double on #5 Allick that wasn’t called
Take a shot every time the announcers praise Lexi.
Drunk AF 😭
Right?! Literally all she does is pass free balls.
It was fun watching those Nebraska brats get humbled. Hard to believe with Jordan Larsen as assistant the team is allowed to have such stank attitudes. Then again Coach Cook is a crank, too, the way he whined about Asjia O’Neal in the presser.
he such a sore loser cause if they won he would not have mentioned anything about the portal or asjia
He will also mention the portal but a useless thing, if they have won.
Facts!
The announcers glazed Nebraska so bad just for them to lose
I CANNOT GET OVER THIS !! TEXAS DESERVES THIS 🤘🏼🧡
Why wouldn’t Nebraska take out that awful passing that literally lost them the game ??? #27? Just awful
In hindsight maybe they should have taken out Murray for a while. The problem is if they took out everyone that had a bad pass, they would have taken out most of the team. Players that got aced: Murray, Batenhorst, Beason, Choboy, and Rodriguez. Nebraska did put in subs and they almost got aced: Kubik and Boesiger. Every time Nebraska tried to adjust their passing, Texas countered by attacking the weakest player in the rotation.
I know the serve receive was horrendous, but another huge issue for Nebraska was their lack of hitter coverage. Texas kept giving their hitters second chances while Nebraska was one & done.
They where standing straight up on their hitter coverage every time
I think Emma Halter is amazing! She’s so quick. Her first step shows zero hesitation ever.
wish you could mute the annoying obviously biased announcers
If you look closely at 24:57, Becca Alec is in the net before wenaas. That should’ve been Texas’s point🤦🏻♀️ they probably weren’t even looking for another touch.
THATS EXACTLY WHAT I SAID!!!! Good thing Texas ended up winning
i’m still concerned that BOTH refs didn’t call or see a double contact on Alleck @ 23:30. it was so obvious she contacted the ball twice: once in the net, and 2nd time when the ball bounced off the net
I was yelling through my tv like “ that’s a double “ 😭 I was so pissed, I’m ngl I feel like the refs where pulling for Nebraska multiple times but it’s okay cause Texas won in the end
ref's had a lot of bad and none calling fouls. and not just this game.
And if you watch Jenna Wenaas also was raising 2 fingers. Letting it known that it was a double hit.
Not to mention that becka allick in the replay was also in the net two times 24:17 and 24:25 way before Jenna wennas
The ball had also hit the ground before Jenna was in the net. You can see it on the side camera at 24:57, so that’s at least three things they could’ve called to give Texas the point but didn’t
rewatching for the 132982018th time and i never noticed asija o'neal's reaction at 26:38 😭😭😭
Texas served them right off the court.
The quality of the video replay is actually insane. I was shocked by how clear it was and so easy to tell if there was a touch!
About to win a Football National Championship too baby we gon light the tower at least two times this year just shows how dominant Texas is in sports
I cant be the only one who thought that the Wisconsin vs Texas match was WAYYYYYYY more interesting than this 1 right.
that little stare down fro madison in set 3... the goddess that u are miss Madison, i love it
I love how Nebraskas player number 5 touched the ball 2 TIMES and Texas touched the net it was supposed to be suspended the point but it gaved it to Nebraska although they made a fault to
And not only that, but #5 touched the net, before Jenna even hit the ball or the net. Like how bias can the refs be?
@@lightkook lit they were so biased
i love nebraska and this loss was heartbreaking but they were just playing sloppy. the serve receive was just messy, and they just couldnt get balls up off the block.
They were made to play sloppy; they just didn't decide to play sloppy for the sake of it!
It’s very hard to serve how Texas did and do it consistently! Especially in Wisconsin n Nebraska game!
the nebraska glaze is insane
nobody talking about the double nebraska totally got away with
exactly i was so surprised when i saw it
This never gets old. Hook 'em!
Sad for the number #1 they cannot even pass the ball. Good job for Texas so awesome 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽☝️☝️☝️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Coming back to watch this match after all the excitement has settled I actually feel bad for Nebraska now 😂 they got embarrassed on national tv & Cook made no adjustments. I mean a literal beat down! After seeing how Texas did Wisconsin, Nebraska had to know they were coming next! 😢 Hookem baby 🤘🏽
I watched the first set in PE today and came home to watch some more
So glad the last point wasn't challeneged like in the boys game. Such a better vibe!
26:26 The play that beat Nebraska. Murry is incledible. But Ladies and Gentlemen. 2 × NCAA Champion hitting OPP for the University of Texas. Molly Phillips.
37:04 - T he F U moment 😂
44:49 oop, they looked so happy doing it too 🤭.
Hilarious that Texas took Nebraska’s soul with the 11-0 run immediately after this. 😁
HOOK EM 🤘🏾🔥🧡
Texas dominated Wisconsin and Nebraska! They showed up to defend their Championship. Kudos to all of them! Hook 'em Horns!
nebraska should stop staring down at texas’s side. maybe they should stare at their side of the net to see/talk through what they r doing wrong
Think the Commentators want N to win!?😂 same as last year’s final. 🤘🏽
i highly believe the entire NCAA program was favored towards Nebraska. why did they end the video so early? from the past, when i watched the NCAA championship VB women, there would always been some time of interview of the coach or a player ON THIS VIDEO. i know they did one afterwards, but not on this video, so why changed it. why were the confetti delay this year?
It was on ESPN this was a recording! They did player interviews aswell as entire spread on O’Neal
I would hope that next year whoever is playing in the finals will have non biased announcers . Just announce the game. Quit trying to sell the players , their past , their future . Fine someone Europe who will announce the game as a professional !!
Agree! And someone who knows their info/facts bc semi-finals with WI vs TX. They keep saying TX hasn’t beaten WI since 2006. When they literally went against each other in the 2020 semi-finals
tbh i’m starting to think the big10 isn’t as tough as people put it
First time watching ncaa usa. These teams are great. Nebraska jist got trouble with their reception I guess. Texas got their spikes and serves real good
Asjia popped off. Feels like she had more digs than blocks/kills. Responsible fore more points from the back court is above and beyond MB calling
Meritt B and Lexi R should rewatch this game. They should learn how to be better captains, like telling AJ, Bekka, Harper, and Laney not to stare down, talk crap, etc through the net too early or karma will hit. They clearly don’t do that and it happened throughout the season. They finally got humbled. Also Meritt should stop making excuses lol, I get that you are trying to defend your team and they did their best, but they literally gave up after those 4 aces straight, and couldn’t do it no more. Be better leaders and tell your teammates to be good sportsmanship
1:09:44 Congratulating Lexi Rodrigruez on stepping in for that 2nd ball to get Harper Murray that swing, as if Emma halter didn't just do the exact same thing for Madi Skinner the point right before and many more times before. 😐
The announcers excuse would be “well that’s Emma Halter’s job”. This entire match they mainly praised Nebraska even when Texas did the same skill. When they did praise Texas, they would still throw Nebraska in there because the announcers wanted NB to win
Also didn’t say a single thing about Lexi when she shanked a few serve received. They keep on saying Texas better be ready for NB bc they will respond or trying to correct Texas mistakes. They didn’t do that until half way through set 3 when they knew that there is no way that they were going to win / get back / get on top of their game
Anyone who beats Stanford deserves to win 😂😂 congrats, and hats off to Texas. Tbh I was one of them who counted them out but damn they hella played hard 💪
Facts!! But Stanford hasn’t been good since the 2016 class left
As a Texas fan, I was nervous 😅 Traveling to Palo Alto to face a tough Vols team and then Stanford after the early season sweep was a tall ask. But they played brilliantly.
@@ashleeshenanigans This isn't fair to compare a class that happen to win three championships to this years team. Stanford 2022 and Stanford 2023 teams where really good. They just got beat by other good teams. It happens. As a Texas fan, we have had plenty of teams who where talented enough to win a championship but would lose earlier than expected. Look at Stanford before the 2016 class. You could argue that they had sum of the most under achieving teams ever with all the talent they had.
What's so good about Stanford???
@@williamepperson4270they just kept getting better and better! They dominated Wisconsin and Texas.
I CANNOT GET OVER THIS !!
As the game went on Nebraska deteriorated in their play… I was like wait what ?
At 24:32 when Bekka Allick had the double touch and Madisen is talking to the up official you can make out the words “#5 yeah I think we saw a double touch” and the refs still didn’t say anything about it
9:50 "Becka Al lock with the set are you kidding me?! middle blocker with those pretty hands!"
1:02:36: Beth mark sets the exact same ball and Jenna gets a kill off of it: nothing?
Exactly 😂😂 these ppl are so biased
It's tough, when you lose a game like this is sticks with you for the rest of your life.
Texas spanked Nebraska! I knew it was coming tho after they completely dismantled Wisconsin. Back to Back Champs 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽 Hookem
Nebraska will be even more incredible next year - all players returning. Texas played amazing and had great chemistry after winning the 5-setter against Tennessee. Hook 'em.
You're probably a fortune teller😂😂😂
28:38 vs 38:17
That's why the texas coach was so upset, that was clearly out of rotation, why aren't you able to challenge that i have no idea
not only that, at 37:56 Kubic and Murray are out of rotation again, Koubik is in 4 and Murray in 2 before the serve, and they're not !!
i’ve watched this match so much times it makes me so happy 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Bekka Allick never demanded the ball!
this is sending me lol
“bekka allick demands the ball” yea twice maybe 😭😭😭
Texas is a great team but I didn't expect a sweep got to go get my broom congratulations
At around the 44:47 mark, Husker fans do the horns down, but shortly thereafter, the Huskers went on to lose BIGLY to the Texas Longhorns in straight and decisive sets. Hook'em!
