I'm out at soccer tonight, so I didn't see this one in person but the A&M volleyball team picked up their second conference victory of the season tonight with a 25-19, 25-21, 25-16 victory over the visiting Mississippi State Bulldogs. With the victory, the team now sits at 10-6 overall and 2-3 in SEC play. The loss drops MSU to 9-8 overall and 0-3 in conference matches.

A&M won the first set decisively, but had to battle through the second to take the 2-0 advantage. In fact, the Bulldogs led for the majority of the set until A&M closed on a 5-1 run to win it. The third set was all A&M as they led from start to finish before pulling it out 25-16 to conclude the match.

Statistically, A&M registered 42 kills, 22 blocks and 39 assists on their way to victory.

While beating a struggling Mississippi State team was expected, the win allows Corbelli and her team to get back on the right track after losing a heartbreaker to LSU on Wednesday 3-2. Next up, the girls travel to take on Alabama next Friday night.

Watched on the computer. You didn't miss much. MS was horrible. It's going to be a long season. Corbelli's decesion making is astonding. Playing a freshman setter on the right side is idiotic. I don't think she had a kill and didn't have good swings. It puts so much more pressure on the outsides and middles, because the blockers can camp on them. Their middle blockers only play half the court. I can't believe Corbelli can't see this. When we play better teams we will get crushed.

Corbelli had a slight uptick the last few years, but it looks like we're headed back down to .500 type seasons and no NCAA tourneys. And that's in a weaker conference in the SEC. She survived the Byrne era but I'm not sure she'll survive the Hyman era.

... because BB let $100K over three years kill a very promising hire. He got away with not spending to improve the program because he knew very few GAS about vb, and that has not changed.
