Talked briefly with Allie McNeal yesterday. She said Kentucky was a pretty good team, didn't seem to think their ranking justified how good they were.
We got through this one OK. Now we have to navigate our way through: #18 Iowa State in Ames, #2 Penn State in Happy Valley and Ohio State, unranked as of the most recent AVCA rankings (as I type this), but who were essentially #26 in the last rankings, and Michigan State at home, who is essentially ranked 30th.
That's a pretty tough gauntlet, and I'd be thrilled to get through that at 3-1, with three of those matches on the road.
We have the team to do this. We have the team to go 4-0 in this stretch, but you can't expect that, as good as the competition is that we'll be playing.
