Gazelles finally fall

Texas faced it's toughest test of the season last night, and despite another stellar performance from Destinee Hooker they couldn't get the job done, falling in five sets to ISU in Ames. It was close (12-15 in the 5th set) but no cigar for the no-longer-perfect Gazelles. The loss to the 8th ranked Cyclones on the road shouldn't knock Texas from the #2 ranking, but probably puts paid to any hopes of the overall #1 seed in the post-season, as PSU has no more challenges left on their schedule. Texas will now likely end up with the #2 seed and be sent to Minneapolis for the UM regionals.

Still all to play for at this point, but a perfect season sure would have been a nice way for this remarkable senior class to finish their careers.

Gazelles clinch Big XII

In a sweep of Missouri that included the lowest point total scored against Texas this year, the Gazelles returned to the form that had them rolling towards an undefeated season. That win combined with an inexplicable 0-3 loss at home against Nebraska (letdown match anyone?) means the Gazelles will win at least a share of the conference title. More likely they will win it outright.

The question now is whether Texas will stay at #2 in the rankings, as they should. And what sort of seeding they will get for the post-season.

Still a Blaine Irby fan
