>> Alex: HEAD COACH JILL KRAMER AND RIGHT BESIDE HER IS ASSISTANT HALEY ACKERMAN, ONE OF THE GREATEST TO EVER DO IT HERE IN GREGORY GYM FOR THE LONGHORNS. WE'LL GET MORE INTO HER AS THE MATCH GOES ON, THE COURTS LEADING THE LONGHORNS SHARON ELLIOTT, 519 CAREER WINDS AS HEAD COACH OF THE LONGHORNS. TEXAS COMES INTO THIS ONE AT 13-0 ON THE SEASON AND THEY HAVE WON 53 CONSECUTIVE BIG 12 MATCHES HERE. THEY HAVEN'T LOST A CONFERENCE MATCH SINCE 2014. MELANIE PARRA SERVING FOR TEXAS. TOP TEN IN THE NATION AN ACE IS A 26 AND THERE IS ONE TO START UP THIS MATCH! >> Salima: YOU TALK ABOUT THE NUMBER OF ACES AND IT'S REALLY JUST SUCH A UNIQUE THIRD. SHE'S GOT POWER ON IT, BUT THE SPIN ON IT. VERY DIFFICULT TO HANDLE. >> Alex: AT TEAM-HIGH 27 ACES ON THE SEASON FOR PARO. 28. JUST THE START THE HORNS WANTED. >> Salima: AND FOR THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN WATCHING TEXAS VOLLEYBALL, SHE'S BEEN GETTING SOME ACES BUT SHE'S BEEN A LITTLE UP AND DOWN WITH HER SERVE. BUT COACH ELLIOTT SAID SHE'S STUDYING OUT AND GETTING BETTER AND BETTER FROM THE SERVICE LINE. >> Alex: THERE IS A RETURN BY TCU COURTESY OF JULIA ADAMS, THE JUNIOR. TEAM LEADER IN KILLS WITH THE NOW 170 ON THE SEASON. 16 AGAINST OKLAHOMA. EGGLESTON WITH THE POINT! >> Salima: SMART, TOUGH SERVED BY TCU DOWN THE LINE TRYING TO WORK EGGLESTON AND HOLD THE BALL OFF THE NET WHICH THEY DID. BUT THIS IS WHERE IT TEXAS IS SO GOOD. >> Alex: LOGAN EGGLESTON DOMINATED TCU A YEAR AGO. IOSIA SERVING FOR TEXAS. LOGAN EGGLESTON ADDED AGAIN. SHE'S COMING UP HER SEVENTH DOUBLE-DOUBLE OF THE SEASON. LAST SATURDAY AGAINST KANSAS, 18 KILLS AND A CAREER HIGH 20 DIGS IN THAT ONE. TEXAS 20-1 ALL-TIME AGAINST OF THE HORNED FROGS. 10-0 HERE AT GREGORY GYM. THAT ONE SENT DOWN BY ASJIA O'NEAL WHO'S BEEN ON FIRE OVER HER LAST THREE MATCHES. >> Salima: I THINK THERE'S A CALL ON ASJIA O'NEAL. THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT BEHIND HER HEAD AND SHE HIT THE BALL DOWN. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. THE REFEREES ARE CALLING THIS A LITTLE BIT TIGHTER THIS YEAR. HOW LONG WAS THE BALL IN HER HAND -- ACTUALLY THROW ACTUALLY THROW THE BALL DOWN. >> Alex: SERVICE ERROR, MEANWHILE, BY THE HORNED FROGS. OR NEIL CAME INTO THE SUN HITTING .570 OVER HER LAST THREE MATCHES. SO THE TEAM'S TRADE POINTS HERE AND IT'S NOW 5-2. SYDNEY PETERSEN, THE SENIOR FROM IOWA SERVING. >> Alex: TOO MUCH POWER FROM O'NEAL, THAT ONE COUNTS. >> Salima: IT SURE DOES. THAT CONNECTION HAS BEEN SO GOOD LATELY. WATCH HOW SMOOTH SHE IS GOING BEHIND THE SETTER. >> Alex: THE LONGHORNS ARE COMING OFF AN INTERESTING PERIOD, SOMEWHAT OF A CHALLENGING WEEKEND ON THE ROAD. BLOCKED BY EGGLESTON AND IT STAYS AND THEREFORE THE POINT! >> Salima: ARE REALLY NICE LATE MOVED BY O'NEAL. YOU SEE, SHE HAS TO PICK UP SOME GROUND, THE BALL RICOCHETS ACTUALLY OFF OF HER LEFT HAND. >> Alex: TEXAS AFTER 7-2 SPEECHES ARE DOING IT FROM EVERY SINGLE PART OF THE GAME. IT STARTED AT THE SERVICE LINE. THEY'RE ATTACKING THE BALL REALLY WELL, HITTING .500 AS A TEAM AND THEN USING THE BLOCK. SO RIGHT NOW, TEXAS PLAYING WELL. SPEECH YOU LIKE TO SEE THE START FROM TEXAS. LAST WEEKEND AGAINST KANSAS THEY REALLY DROPPED THE FIRST MATCH UP ON THE ROAD, LOST THE FIRST TWO SETS OF THAT FIRST MATCH. HOW TO RALLY TO WIN THE FINAL THREE. COACH ELLIOTT SAID IT WAS CERTAINLY SLOPPY. THEY SLEPT KANSAS THE NEXT DAY AND HAVE CARRIED THAT MOMENTUM HERE TO MATCH NUMBER ONE AGAINST TCU TONIGHT. >> Salima: I THINK IT'S SUCH AN IMPORTANT POINT, WHEN A MATCH IS GETTING AWAY FROM YOU AND YOU CAN RALLY BACK. IT'S HUGE FOR TEXAS TO BE ABLE TO COME BACK AND HOW THE SUCCESS THEY DID IN THE SECOND MATCH. >> Alex: ASJIA O'NEAL ADDED AGAIN, 9-2, TEXAS. O'NEAL THIRD IN THE BIG 12 IN HITTING. IT CAME INTO TONIGHT WITH A HITTING PERCENTAGE OF .394. PETERSEN WITH EIGHT ACES ON THE SEASON. SET THAT UP. NICE DIG BY IOSIA. THE RALLY CONTINUES. EGGLESTON BLOCKS. IOSIA BOX OUT. BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN TEXAS AND TCU. OH, SOMEHOW THAT ONE STAYS ALIVE AND PLAY CONTINUES! AND TEXAS GETS THE POINT! OH, MY! >> Salima: RALLIES LIKE THIS, STAYING IN IT. PUTTING SOME PRESSURE ON TEXAS. THAT BALL IS RATTLING. >> Alex: LONGHORNS NOW ON A 6-0 RUN. THAT ONE SLAM DOWN BY TAYLOR BEING YOUNG. THE HORNED FROGS WITH THE POINT. SPEECH YOU REALLY NICE DOWN THE LINE. YOU'RE GONNA WATCH HER HIT THAT SLIDE. SHE PLAYS ON THE RIGHT SIDE BUT SHE'S REALLY COMFORTABLE TO KEEP THE BALL IN FRONT OF HER AND SHE DOES A NICE JOB ATTACKING THE BALL. SPOON FIRST BIG 12 MATCH OF HER CAREER CAME IN TEXAS, BY ASJIA O'NEAL IS THE STORY SO FAR TONIGHT. >> Salima: THE THING I'M IMPRESSED WITH IS THE QUALITY OF THE BALL THAT'S GETTING TO JHENNA GABRIEL RIGHT NOW. RIGHT ON THE MONEY, SHE'S ABLE TO RUN WHATEVER SHE WANTS AND THAT'S WHY O'NEAL IS HAVING SO MUCH SUCCESS. >> Alex: GABRIEL WITH FOUR ASSESS AND TEXAS HITTING .462. TCU HITTING .083. 11-4. FIRST SERVICE ERROR OF THE NIGHT IS TEXAS. THAT ONE DEFLECTED OFF A TCU PLAYER, POINT TEXAS. >> Salima: THOSE OF THE SWINGS THAT COACH ELLIOTT WAS TALKING ABOUT. GOT SOME HIGH HANDS TO LOOK FOR AND SHE'S DOING A NICE JOB HITTING OFF THE HAND. >> Alex: COMING OFF A CAREER HIGH 26 KILLS AGAINST KANSAS. O'NEAL SERVING. TAYLOR RAIOLA, THE SOPHOMORE FROM SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA. >> Salima: THAT'S A NICE, HARD RIP INSIDE THE BLOCK. YOU GOT BUTLER IN FRONT OF YOU, REALLY GOOD VISION. >> Alex: RAIOLO WAS TREMENDOUS AGAINST THE LONGHORNS LAST YEAR IN THEIR FIRST MEETING. PASSOVER AND WRITE BACK. TCU. >> Salima: GOT THERE, WAITED FOR THE TIP. SHE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THE TALLEST PLAYER ON THE FLOOR BUT SHE CAN GET OFF THE GROUND, WAIT FOR THAT TIP AND THROW IT BACK DOWN. >> Alex: TEAM LEADER IN HITTING PERCENTAGE, SECOND IN KILLS. WEHRSTEIN SERVING, TCU TRYING TO PUT TOGETHER A RUN. >> Salima: SERVING THAT SCENE DOWN THE LEFT SIDE OF THE COURT. BETWEEN EGGLESTON AND PETERS AND THEY WANT TO TRY TO PUT SOME STRESS IN THAT AREA OF THE COURT. >> Alex: THAT ONE A BIT TOO FAR. WELL, TCU, COMING OFF THAT WIN OVER OKLAHOMA BUT IN THE FIRST SET OF THAT MATCH, JILL KRAMER CALLED IT THE WORST SET IN PROGRAM HISTORY, DESPITE THE WIN, HAD 14 ERRORS. HIT AT MINUS 465 AND THAT ONE BUT BOUNCING BACK HERE IN THE FIRST SET OF THIS OUT AGAINST TEXAS. RAIOLO AGAIN, HERE'S THE FIRST SET TWO WE MENTIONED IN THE WIN OVER OKLAHOMA AND THEY OBVIOUSLY BOUNCED BACK AFTER DROPPING THE FIRST ONE. >> Salima: IT'S INTERESTING, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO START THE NEXT MATCH? FOUND A WAY TO COME BACK AND WIN. >> Alex: SAVING THAT ONE FOR THE HORNED FROGS, SHE'S BEEN EVERYWHERE EARLY IN THE SUN. BOYD, TEXAS! SKYLAR FIELDS! >> Salima: THAT ONE WAS HIGH AND TIGHT. SHE COULD JUST GO OVER THE TOP AND PUT THIS BALL DOWN. >> Alex: HIT NEARLY .500 LAST YEAR AGAINST TCU. COUPLE OF KILLS SO FAR TONIGHT. ANOTHER ACE FOR POWER APPEARED LONGHORNS CAME INTO THIS ONE AND THAT TREND CONTINUING. SPEECH YOU WATCH IT COME OFF HER HAND AND TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF A CURVE AND IT'S GOT POWER BEHIND IT. >> Alex: UNSTOPPABLE RIGHT NOW. EGGLESTON WITH THE POINT. >> Salima: THEY HAVE EGGLESTON AND FIELDS THAT CAN MANAGE THESE SWINGS, THEY CAN GO OVER THE TOP. IF IT'S TIGHT THEY CAN STILL FIND A WAY TO HIT THE FLOOR. >> Alex: PARO WITH THREE ACES SO FAR. >> Salima: THAT BALL DIDN'T END UP CLEARING THE NET AT ALL. >> Alex: LONGHORNS UP 17-8 IN THE SUN. AGAIN, THIS IS A TCU TEAM THAT IS NEVER WON HERE IN AUSTIN. WE BROUGHT UP THE FIRST SET AGAINST OKLAHOMA AND THE LAST MATCH AND HEAD COACH JILL KRAMER SAID THEY WERE PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS BECAUSE IT WAS THEIR BIGGEST CROWD AT HOME IN YEARS. SEVENTH LARGEST IN TCU HISTORY SO WE ASK FOR THIS WEEK, HOW ARE THEY GOING TO RESPOND WHEN THEY COME TO GREGORY GYM, ONE OF THE MOST ELECTRIC CROWDS IN THE NATION? SHE SAID LISTEN, WE PLAYED ON THE ROAD. WE PLAYED AT WISCONSIN. HOW DO YOU THINK THEY'RE HANDLING IT HERE TONIGHT? >> Salima: NOT RELEASING AN ATMOSPHERE THING AFFECTING THEM. IT'S REALLY JUST A TACTICAL THING. RIGHT NOW THE SERVING IS REALLY TOUGH FOR TEXAS. THEY DON'T LOOK AT RATTLED IN THAT SENSE, I DON'T THINK SO. THEY HAVE TO STUDY OUT AND SEE IF THEY CAN HANDLE THE BALL A LITTLE BIT BETTER AND FIND A WAY TO PUT THE BALL ON THE FLOOR. I THINK THEY'RE HANDLING IT OKAY BUT AT THE SAME TIME A TOUGH SET SO FAR. >> Alex: FOUR OF THEIR LOSSES HAVE BEEN FIVE-SET NAIL-BITERS INCLUDING THREE THAT WERE DECIDED BY THREE POINTS OR LESS BUT RIGHT NOW THEY TRAIL TEXAS 17-8, LONGHORNS ON A 4-0 RUN. >> Salima: YOU'RE ALSO SEEING THAT HITTING PERCENTAGE, TEXAS HITTING .400, SO TEXAS IS ABLE TO GET IT DONE FROM EVERY POSITION RIGHT NOW. TCU A LITTLE BIT OUTMATCHED AT THIS POINT BUT WE'LL SEE IF THEY CAN STUDY OUT A LITTLE BIT AND MAKE A LITTLE PUSHBACK THERE. >> Alex: TCU DID COME INTO THIS ON NUMBER 21 IN THE NATION IN BLOCKS PER SET. SO DEFENSE HAS BEEN THERE FOR THE SQUAD. SHE CALLED THEM A SCRAPPY DEFENSIVE TEAM. SHE SAYS I NEED TO FOCUS ON THEIR PLAY AND THEY DO THERE. >> Salima: AND IF ANYONE CAN GET THEM GOING, IT'S ADAMS. IT GET HER THAT BALL NICE AND FAST. SHE GETS ON IT QUICK, IT BEATS THE BLOCK WITH SOME SPEED. >> Alex: COUPLE OF KILLS TONIGHT. .171 ON THE SEASON TO LEAD THE SQUAD. LOGAN EGGLESTON, THAT IS INCOME UP POINT, TEXAS. >> Salima: NICE VISION BY LOGAN EGGLESTON BUT IT'S GETTING HER BODY POSITION TO START SUPER D. SHE COULD GET IT IN FRONT OF HER NAME FOR THAT DEEP AREA OF THE COURT. >> Alex: TEXAS CAME IN TO THIS ONE-THIRD IN THE NATION IN HITTING PERCENTAGE HITTING .326. SO FAR TONIGHT HITTING .429. POINT, TEXAS. >> Salima: SHE'S GOTTEN THE GREEN LIGHT TO GO AHEAD AND USE THIS JUMP SERVE. COACH ELLIOTT SAID, WHAT WE WANT TO LET HER GO. SHE'S MORE CONSISTENT WITH IT. A COMBINATION OF KEEPING THAT BALL IN. >> Alex: 14 ACES ON THE SEASON. RAIOLA DENIED EGGLESTON AND COMPANY. TEXAS PLAYING WITH THE PURPOSE ART TONIGHT. >> Salima: GETTING THAT BALL IN PLACE. THEY KNOW IT'S GOING TO THE BACK ROW. ALL THREE BLOCKERS IN PLACE AND THAT'S O'NEAL TAKING CARE OF IT. >> Salima: LEADING THE TEAM IN BLOCKS PER SET TONIGHT. BY THE WAY, IN THE MATCH FOR TEXAS, THE TRANSFER FROM UTAH SAGE KA'AHA'AINA-TORRES WHO'S PLAYING IN HER SEVENTH MATCH AS A LONGHORN, DOUBLE-DIGIT ASSISTS IN TWO OF HER LAST THREE MATCHES. SERVICE ERROR FOR TCU. >> Salima: TEXAS WANTS TO CONTINUE TO GET HER INTO THE GAME. IT'S SOMETHING THEY'RE GOING TO NEED DOWN THE STRETCH. A BIGGER BLOCK PRESENCE AT THE NET AND SHE REALLY HAS BEEN DOING A NICE JOB WITH THE OFFENSE AS WELL, FIGHTING THE TIMING AND BINDING SOME OF THAT RHYTHM. >> Alex: OFF THE PETERSEN SERVE. POINT, TEXAS. LONGHORNS PULLING AWAY HERE IN THE FIRST SET. TEXAS WITH THREE SERVICE ACES, ONE SERVICE ERROR FOR TCU. LOOKS LIKE ETCHING STEP. THE SPEECH I THINK SO. >> Alex: ARE RARE SERVICE ERROR FOR THE LONGHORNS. >> Salima: PETERSEN WAS TRYING TO GO RIGHT ACROSS THE COURT ON THE SIDELINES. DIVING FOR THAT ONE WITH PETERSEN. FREE BALL FOR TCU. SLAMMED DOWN BY MANYANG, THE JUNIOR FROM FORT WORTH. >> Salima: IT'S SHE STARTED OFF WITH THE BLOCK TO BEGIN THE RALLY. THAT'S ONE THING THAT COACH KRAMER SET IS BUT HER BIGGEST AREA OF IMPROVEMENT, GETTING HER HANDS IN THE RIGHT SPOT. >> Alex: EGGLESTON BLOCKED AGAIN. POINT TCU. AGAIN, TOP 25 IN THE NATION IN BLOCKS PER SET ARE THE HORNED FROGS. >> Salima: GETTING THEMSELVES CLOSE SO THEY CAN GET A BIG BLOCK TOGETHER AGAINST TEXAS. >> Alex: EGGLESTON WHAT THE SOFT TOUCH. RAIOLA. EGGLESTON. RAIOLA OFF A TEXAS PLAYER TCU POINT. SPEECH IS SOMETHING THEY WANTED TO DO WAS BE ABLE TO SLOW THE BALL DOWN AND PLAY SCRAPPY DEFENSE. IT'S ALL DEFENSE AT THE NECK BEHIND THE BLOCK. EGGLESTON BLOCKED FOR THE THIRD TIME. SPEAK TO THEIR BLOCKING IN REALLY GOOD SPOTS, LINING UP PERFECTLY. BUT IT'S FROM THE SERVICE LINE. DRIVING THAT BALL DOWN INTO THE ZONE ONE NOW. WE HAVEN'T SEEN O'NEAL GET ONE SET IN THE LAST FEW PLACE. >> Salima: THE ONLY TEAM IN THE BIG 12, ONE OF JUST FOUR TEAMS IN THE NATION THAT MULTIPLE PLAYERS RANK IN THE TOP 50 IN BLOCKS PER SET. 7-0 RUN, TCU. TIMEOUT IS CALLED BY TEXAS, JUST WHEN IT SEEMED LIKE THEY WERE ABOUT TO PUT THE FIRST SET AWAY. >> Salima: IT'S BEEN IMPRESSIVE, WHAT THEY'RE DOING, AND IT STARTING AT THE SERVICE LINE AND SERVING AND BLOCKING IS CONNECTED. YOU HAVE A STRATEGY OF WHERE YOU WANT TO GO SO YOU KNOW WHERE THE BLOCK IS GOING TO BE AND THAT'S WHAT WERE SEEING RIGHT NOW IN TEXAS. >> Salima: THEY AVERAGE A LITTLE LESS THAN THREE BLOCKS PER SET THE SEASON. A BIG IMPROVEMENT FROM LAST YEAR. ALREADY TONIGHT THREE BLOCKS FOR TCU AND TEXAS WAS HEADING RIGHT ABOUT .430 FOR MOST OF THE FIRST SET AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE LONGHORNS HITTING .286 ON THE NIGHT. >> Salima: IT'S TEXAS HAS TO BE ABLE TO SET SOMEONE ASIDE FROM EGGLESTON CERTAINLY IN THIS ROTATION, EITHER INSIDE OR IN TRANSITION. THEY'VE BEEN GOOD AND HITTING EFFICIENTLY WHEN THEY BEEN ABLE TO MOVE THE BALL AROUND. >> Salima: THE RECORD A BIT DECEIVING, 7-7, WINLESS ON THE ROAD, 1-3 IN BIG 12 PLAY BUT THEY'VE TAKEN SO MANY TEAMS TO THE WIRE AND THEY PLAYED IN FIVE FIVE-SET MATCHES. SHE SAID, THIS MIGHT BE THE MOST FUN SHE'S EVER HAD COACHING A TEAM. SHE SAID THEIR CHEMISTRY IS OFF THE CHARTS. EVERYONE IN THE SAME DIRECTION AND THEY ARE DOING THAT RIGHT NOW. A BIG BLOCK AND FRONT OF EGGLESTON RIGHT NOW. SHE'S GOING TO TRY TO FIND A WAY TO HIT AROUND. >> Alex: SO HERE WE GO OUT OF THE TIMEOUT. DOING A NICE JOB FROM THE SERVICE LINE TODAY AT ANOTHER POINT FOR TCU. WITHIN FOUR! >> Salima: THIS IS THE THING ABOUT THIS TCU TEAM. THEY CAN GO ON LITTLE RUNS, THEY'RE DOING IT FROM DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE COURT, DRIVING THE BALL STRAIGHT AHEAD ON THE SERVE. >> Salima: TCU NOW WITH FOUR ACES. 8-0 RUN, HOW ABOUT THIS? >> Alex: SEE IF SHE CAN MOVE THE BALL AROUND A LITTLE BIT MORE. SPEECH HE SETS UP EGGLESTON AND TEXAS FINALLY STOPS THE RUN WITH A POINT. >> Salima: A SMART SWING OFF THE EDGE OF THE BLOCK. A MUCH-NEEDED SIDE OUT. >> Alex: LEADS ALL PLAYERS WITH SEVEN KILLS. 12 IN THE NATION IN ACES PURSE THAT. SPEECH IS SO MUCH FUN TO WATCH. SHE HAS A FAST ARM. IF SHE CAN BEAT THE BLOCK SHE'S GOOD TO BE ABLE TO BEAT THE DEFENSE AS WELL. TAPPED OVER, RAIOLA, GREAT DIVING STOP. EGGLESTON THERE. TCU NOW WITHIN THREE. IT WAS 22-10 AT ONE POINT IN TEXAS' FAVOR. A TEN-POINT RUN FOR THE HORNED FROGS. >> Salima: TCU IS SHOWING ZERO FEAR AND REALLY INCREASING WHAT THEY BEEN DOING ON THEIR SIDE OF THE NET. THAT'S WHAT COACH KRAMER SAID THEY NEEDED TO DO. FOCUS ON THEIR SIDE OF THE NET AND EXECUTE AT A HIGH LEVEL. >> Alex: DO YOU THINK TEXAS WITH THAT HUGE LEAD LET UP A LITTLE BIT? .OKAY, WE'RE DOMINATING, OR FEELING IT RIGHT NOW? >> Salima: THAT'S CERTAINLY WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. BUT YOU HAVE TO ALSO GIVE CREDIT TO CCU, TOUGH SERVING COMBINED WITH SOME OF THAT. THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS. SETTING UP FIELDS. SET POINT COMING UP FOR TEXAS. BOUNDS ON THEIR FEET. AND THE POINTS BY THE PLAYER THEY CALL SMILEY. KEEPING THIS FIRST SET GOING. >> Salima: SHE HAS AN ABILITY TO GO EVEN OVER THE TOP, SHE'S PHYSICAL, SHE'S GOT A LONG REACH AND SHALL HIT DEPENDING ON WHAT THEY NEED FROM HER. >> Alex: DOUBLED THE BIG KILLS AND THREE STRAIGHT MATCHES. SET POINT COMING UP AGAIN. GABRIEL SETS UP BRIONNE BUTLER AND TEXAS TAKES THE FIRST SETS. IT WAS AN EASY BUT THEY GRAB SET NUMBER 125-21. EGGLESTON LEADING THE WAY WITH SEVEN KILLS AND TEXAS TAKES THE 1-0 LEAD OVER THE VISITING TCU. WE WILL BE BACK. >> A NUMBER OF LIFETIME LONGHORNS WILL BE HONORED TONIGHT. INDUCTED INTO THE TEXAS HALL OF HONOR THIS YEAR. THEY GOT A GOOD LOOK AT THAT FIRST SET IT WHICH TEXAS LED 22-10 AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN TCU WENT ON A 10-1 RUN, TCU THAT IS NEVER WON A BATCH HERE IN AUSTIN. WOULD YOU MAKE ABOUT RUN LATE THERE IN THE FIRST SET? >> Salima: IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT COME UP TEXAS KNOWS THEY CAN'T GIVE UP. NOBODY CAN GIVE UP EIGHT POINTS IN A ROW AT ANY STRETCH. THAT'S A DANGEROUS POSITION TO PUT YOURSELF IN. TCU PICKED IT UP A LITTLE BIT. TEXAS SAT BACK A LITTLE BIT ON THEIR HEELS, THEY'RE NOT IN CONTROL BUT THAT'S NOT DEAD. YOU EARNED THE FIRST POINT OF THE SET. HORNED FROGS DELIVERED 69 KILLS IN THEIR LAST MATCH AGAINST THE SOONERS, THAT'S THE MOST EVER RECORDED BY TCU. SO THEY CAME IN TO TONIGHT SOME MOMENTUM. JILL KRAMER SQUAD 1-3 IN BIG 12 PLAY. STARTED OFF THE NIGHT ON FIRE WITH TO GO STRAIGHT ACES TO BEGIN THE MATCH. LOGAN EGGLESTON WITH THE POINT. KILL NUMBER EIGHT. >> Salima: TRANSITION DIG. GABRIEL GETTING THERE, SLIDING ON HER KNEES. >> Alex: TEAM-HIGH FIVE DIGS. TOO STRONG. ONE OF JUST TWO UNDEFEATED TEAMS LEFT IN THE NATION AND HOW ABOUT THIS START TO THE SECOND SET? YOU AND I WERE TALKING DURING THE BREAK ABOUT THAT KIND OF SHIFT IN MOMENTUM LATE IN THE FIRST SET. AND HERE'S TCU WITH THE EARLY LEAD. >> Salima: THERE DRIVING THE BALL, REALLY TRYING TO WORK TEAMS AND THUS RECEIVE THAT ACE ON THAT LAST SURF. >> Alex: TEXAS IS THE ONE WHO CAME IN THIRD IN THE NATION AND HOW ABOUT THAT KILL. HITTING .538. >> Salima: THIS IS A HIGH GAME THEY'RE PLAYING ON THAT SIDE OF THE COURT RIGHT NOW. >> Alex: THE HORNED FROGS I HAVEN'T EVEN WON A SET IN THESE LAST FOUR MEETINGS AGAINST THE LONGHORNS. THE SOPHOMORE FROM TORRANCE, CALIFORNIA. SETTING UP EGGLESTON. NINE KILLS NOW FOR LOGAN EGGLESTON. >> Salima: SHE CAN CHOP THE BALL DOWN THE LINE. SPEWING HEXES HITTING .242 ON THE NIGHT. BLOCK IN THE MIDDLE BY TEXAS. EGGLESTON BLOCKS. ASJIA O'NEAL. IT'S TEXAS WITH THE POINT AND THEY JUMP IN FRONT 5-4. >> Salima: TEXAS TAKING CARE OF THEIR HEADERS, COVERING THE PLAY, AND HITTING AND READY. A REALLY NICE HEADSET PLAY. SERVING AGAIN FOR TEXAS. TCU COMING RIGHT BACK. NECK AND NECK HERE IN THE SECOND SET. >> Salima: HANDLING THE BALL WELL. A TIGHT PASS. THEY DO A FIVE ACES. SIX SERVICE ERRORS AS WELL. >> Salima: RIGHT NOW THAT'S NOT A BAD RATIO AT ALL. THEY HAVE TO DO THAT AGAINST THIS TEXAS WATER DIVING BIG BEAR, IT LOOKS LIKE BRAMSCHREIBER SAVING THE DAY. >> Alex: EVEN AT SIX. EGGLESTON, THAT ONE IS IN. KRAMER TURNED ON THE SECOND THING, DID NOT GO IN? ARE WE SURE? WILL LET IT GO. >> Alex: AGAIN, THAT'S CLOSE ENOUGH. IF YOU WOULD NOT, YOU KEEP IT. >> Salima: DOUBLE DIGIT KILLS NOW FOR EGGLESTON. SO WHAT WE MAKE OF THIS START TO THE SECOND SET? UNDEFEATED TEXAS IN A BATTLE HERE WITH TCU. >> Salima: I DEFINITELY THINK THAT TCU IS PLAYING BETTER. WERE SEEING A BACK-AND-FORTH WITH ANOTHER TEAM THAT'S PLAYING FAIRLY WELL. BRIONNE BUTLER. SHE'S TURNED IT ON OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS. SPEECH YOU WHEN YOU GOT SOMEONE LIKE HER SWINGING THAT HARD INTO THE BLOCK, I LIKE THIS BLOCK SET UP A GABRIEL THERE IN THE RIGHT SPOT, ALL THE WAY IN THE COURT. >> Alex: SET UP ADAMS. >> Salima: A NICE PLAY BY GABRIEL. THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, GET YOUR LEFT SIDE ATTACKER ON THE FLOOR AND EGGLESTON READY TO ATTACK, SEES THE BLOCK. >> Alex: 11 KILLS NOW FOR LOGAN EGGLESTON. BLOCKED OUT ABOUNDS COME A POINT, TCU. EGGLESTON, BY THE WAY, WITH THE EXTRA YEAR DUE TO THE PANDEMIC TECHNICALLY A JUNIOR WHICH IS UNREAL AND A BLESSING FOR TEXAS. SPEECH YOU CRAZY, SUCH A PHENOMENAL PLAYER THAT'S BEEN HERE SO MANY YEARS. ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITH A COAND COMING BACK, LOGAN EGGLESTON IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE BEST PLAYERS IN THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW. >> Alex: THAT EXTRA YEAR ACROSS THE NATION HAS LED TO A LOT OF PARITY AND A LOT OF EXPERIENCE COMING BACK FOR EVERYONE. >> Salima: WITHOUT QUESTION. I THINK IT'S GIVING A LOT OF TEAMS A LEG UP, SOME TEAMS THAT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD A LOT BETTER NOW THAT THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED. >> Alex: TEXAS GETTING SOME MOMENTUM HERE. JUST AS WE SAY THAT, SERVICE ERROR NUMBER FOUR FOR THE LONGHORNS. THAT'S A TOUGH LINE TO BALANCE RIGHT THERE, OBVIOUSLY TRYING TO REMAIN UNDEFEATED BUT YEAH, TRYING TO SAVE YOUR BEST FOR LAST, OBVIOUSLY. >> Salima: EVERY TEAM DOES IT DIFFERENTLY IN THE WEIGHT ROOM, HOW THEY LOAD AND MENTALLY HOW THEY TRAIN. >> Alex: RIGHT BACK. HE SAID, LISTEN, THEY DON'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO THE RANKINGS. THEY HAVE A MOTTO, THEY TRY TO REMAIN HUMBLE, HUNGRY, AND BE HUNTERS OUT THERE, NOT WORRYING ABOUT STAYING UNDEFEATED. >> Salima: YOU HAVE TO DO THAT. ONCE YOU START THINKING ABOUT IT IN YOUR HEAD IS THERE, IT CAN REALLY MESS WITH YOU. >> Alex: THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE GOING WITH THE SEASON IS OVER THE MOTTO IS PAID OFF. CHRIS BEARD RECENTLY CALLED IT RAT POISON, WHEN YOUR TEAM IS GETTING A LOT OF PRAISE, A LOT OF HYPE, THAT IS, AS FAR AS COACHES ARE CONCERNED, DETRIMENTAL. EGGLESTON WAS THERE ON THE DEFENSIVE END FOR TEXAS AND ON THE OTHER SIDE, O'NEIL AND PHILLIPS GETTING IT DONE. >> Salima: KEEPING THE BALL ALIVE, THEY GET A BIG PLAY, START THINGS OFF AND IT'S REALLY THE BLOCK SURROUNDING THE BALL. IT'S HARD. >> Alex: SO GOOD BACK THERE DEFENSIVELY. TEXAS NOW WITH THEIR LARGEST LEAD OF SET NUMBER TWO. FIVE DIGS AND SIX ASSISTS OF OUR TONIGHT. TCU ENDS UP AT THE POINT, NO, POINT LONGHORNS! >> Salima: SHE HIT THE NET RIGHT AT THE END OF THAT PLAY. >> Alex: DIVING FOR ANOTHER ONE. THE SOPHOMORE FROM CALIFORNIA BUT THE HORNS UP BY FIVE INSET LONGHORNS LOOKING TO MAKE IT 54 CONSECUTIVE BIG 12 VICTORIES HERE IN AUSTIN IN GREGORY GYM. THEY HAVE IT LAST BIG 12 PLAISANCE 2014. TEXAS LEADING UP BY FIVE. TOPS IT FORWARD. TAYLOR RAIOLA 1 OF 2 HORNED FROGS, DAUGHTER OF FORMER NFL PLAYERS, HER DAD WAS A LONGTIME CENTER FOR THE LIONS BUT YOU ALSO HAVE MICHAELA BYERS, NUMBER THREE, WHOSE DAD WAS A LONGTIME DALLAS COWBOYS AND DENVER BRONCOS ON THE DEFENSIVE LINE. BEEN EVERYWHERE TONIGHT LEADING THE TEAM WITH SIX KILLS. THAT'S THE SECOND FEAST TONIGHT FOR THE HORNED FROGS THAT IS BOUNCED OFF THE NET. SPEWING TEXAS CAME INTO THIS ONE AS A THIRD-BEST TEAM AS FAR AS ACES WERE CONCERNED. EIGHT SERVICE ERROR NOW BY TCU. EGGLESTON BATTING IT BACK OVER. AGAIN, GETS A PIECE OF ONE. OH, RIGHT IN THE FACE OF RAIOLA, TCU KEEPS THE POINT GOING. SMASHED DOWN BY ASJIA O'NEAL, POINTS TEXAS. SPEECH IS IN PLAYS IN THIS RALLY. I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS ONE STAYED ALIVE, BIG RIP ACROSS COURT. >> Alex: TEXAS RATCHETING UP THE INTENSITY. 17-12 LEAD, MAKE IT 18-12. THE SUM WAS TIED AT 7-7 BUT NOW TEXAS PULLING AWAY AND TIMEOUT IS CALLED. WE SAT TCU HAVE MOMENTUM IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE FIRST SET IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE SECOND SET. WHAT IS TEXAS DONE TO TAKE BACK THAT MOMENTUM? >> Salima: TEXAS HAS BEEN SMARTER WITH THEIR SWINGS RIGHT NOW RUNNING THE OFFENSE, THEY ARE HITTING THE BALL AROUND THE BLOCK BEFORE THEY WERE GETTING TOUCHES OR HITTING IT RIGHT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE BLOCK. NOW THEY REALIZE, ALL RIGHT, THIS IS A BIG BLOCKING TEAM. WE GOT TO DO SOMETHING ELSE, AND HANDLING THE BALL JUST A LITTLE BIT BETTER AT SERVICE E. AND WE SELL IT TCU COULD DO IN THE FIRST SET. I WAS SUPER IMPRESSED WITH HOW THEY CAME BACK. TEXAS HAS TO MAINTAIN THIS LEVEL OF PLAY. >> Alex: AFTER HITTING .517 AGAINST TCU A SEASON AGO LOGAN EGGLESTON DOING A NUMBER ON THE HORNED FROGS AGAIN, SHE LEAVES TEXAS WITH 11 KILLS CURRENTLY HITTING .346 OF THE SUN. >> Alex: VERY SMART WITH HER SWINGS RIGHT NOW. COUPLE OF BLOCKS. SHE GOT BLOCKED EARLY ON IN THE MATCH. NOW SHE'S PICKING DIFFERENT SHOTS. ALL READY HAD A COUPLE OF CLEAN BOWS DOWN THE LINE WHEN THE BALL IS OFF THE NET, THIS TEAM IS SMART. BLOCKED EGGLESTON A NUMBER OF TIMES. ALL OF THEIR BLOCKS COMING IN THE FIRST SET. TEXAS HAS ADJUSTED NICELY HERE INSET NUMBER TWO. LONGHORNS YET TO COMMIT AN ATTACKING ERROR HERE IN THE SECOND SET, AND WE ARE JUST ABOUT READY TO RESUME PLAY. THE LONGHORNS ARE NEVER LOST A TCU HERE IN AUSTIN. 10-0, ALL TIME. >> Salima: THEY MOVE HER IN AND OUT OF THE COURT SO YOU'LL SEE HER COMING ON THE INSIDE BALL, AND TO KEEP GOING WITH IT INSIDE THE BLOCK. A SERVICE ERROR THERE FOR TEXAS. >> Salima: JUST A PHENOMENAL PLAYER. SHE CAN BE THE BALL'S FEET AS WELL. LOGAN EGGLESTON WITH 24 ACES ON THE SEASON. PETERSEN. ASJIA O'NEAL MAKING HER PRESENCE FELT AT THE NET. >> Salima: IT ALL STARTED WITH SYDNEY PETERSEN BEING IN THE RIGHT SPOT, MAKING THE MOVE INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE COURT, CONTROLLING IT. EGGLESTON. FIFTH SERVICE ERROR BY THE LONGHORNS TO GO WITH THREE ACES. TEXAS WAS UP 22-10, PULLED WITHIN THREE. SEE IF THE LONGHORNS CAN FINISH OUT THE SECOND SET IN A DIFFERENT FASHION. LOGAN EGGLESTON, AS SHE HAS DONE SO MANY TIMES CHARGING AND FROM THE BACK TO GET THE POINT. >> Salima: NICE TRANSITION PLAY. SO MANY ATTACKERS AVAILABLE. THERE'S A SLIGHT ATTACK COMING,, AND OUTSIDE BALL COMING. >> Alex: ASJIA O'NEAL. SHE WAS HITTING .570 IN HER PREVIOUS THREE MATCHES. >> Salima: ADAMS WITH THE BIG SWING OFF THE HAND. GOING TO EVALUATE THE BLOCK AND THEN JUST BLASTED OFF. >> Alex: TIED FOR THE LEAD COMING INTO THE SUN WITH 11 ACES. DIVING FOR THAT ONE WAS NICHOLS. 22-15, TEXAS. >> Salima: TCU MAY HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A TOUCH THERE. BUT NOT CONVINCED, NOT ENOUGH TO USE A CHALLENGE. >> Alex: NOW HITTING .097 IN THIS SET. PHILLIPS. ADAMS ON THE FAR SIDE. PHILLIPS AGAIN. AND FINISHED OFF BY SKYLAR FIELDS! >> Salima: THE BALL IS DUG BEAUTIFULLY BY IOSIA. >> SKYLAR FIELDS UP TO SIX KILLS NOW AND THE LONGHORNS AT LEAST LOOKED LIKE THEY LEARN FROM THE FIRST SET, COMING CLOSE TO PUTTING AWAY TCU HERE INSET NUMBER TWO. IT >> Salima: THAT'S THE BIGGEST THING. YOU WANT YOUR TEAM TO LEARN, GROW, WE SELL WHAT THEY DID COME OUT WHERE THEY DEFENSIVELY AND HOW ARE THEY BEATING US RIGHT NOW AND HOW DO WE MAKE THESE ADJUSTMENTS? AND IT'S ONE THING TO WANT YOUR TEAM TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS AND TELL THEM TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS BUT THEY HAVE TO EXECUTE IT AND THAT'S WHAT TEXAS IS DOING RIGHT NOW. OTHER PLAYERS ARE EXECUTING THE GAME PLAN RIGHT NOW. >> Alex: JERRITT ELLIOTT SQUAD COMING OFF A TRIP TO LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WITH A DROPPED TWO SETS IN A MATCH FOR THE FIRST TIME ALL SEASON AND LEARNED ABOUT THEMSELVES ON THE ROAD. HE WONDERED MAY BE LATE IN THE FIRST SET ARE WE SEEING A LITTLE BIT OF A REPEAT? >> Salima: THESE THINGS AREN'T PERFECT. THEY MIGHT BE NUMBER ONE IN THE COUNTRY NOW BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO WIN. THEY'RE BETTER AT EVERY POSITION THIS YEAR, THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE MISTAKES. THEY DON'T NEED TO SWEEP EVERYONE TO PROVE THAT THEY'RE THE BEST TEAM IN THE COUNTRY. THERE'S A LOT OF REALLY GOOD TEAMS IN THE COUNTRY THAT ARE FEELING THAT SAME WAY. >> Alex: JERRITT ELLIOTT HAS SET THE BAR SO HIGH THAT THE PRESSURE IS ON EVERY YEAR. FANS THINK CHAMPIONSHIP OR BUST YEAR IN AND YEAR OUT FOR THIS PERENNIAL CONTENDER. SERVICE ERROR BY TEXAS, NUMBER SIX ON THE NIGHT. THREE ACES SO FAR FOR TCU. BLOCKED BY THE HORNED FROGS. TRYING TO PUT TOGETHER A LEASE THAT RALLY. >> Salima: YOU DON'T SEE THAT VERY OFTEN, SKYLAR FIELDS GETTING BLOCKED, A BIG BLOCK IN FRONT OF HER, BUT AGAIN, IT'S A SERVING STRATEGY. TRYING TO PULL THE PASS OFF THE NET OR FORWARD TO MAKE TEXAS A LITTLE BIT MORE ONE-DIMENSIONAL SETTING JUST THE LEFT SIDE. >> Alex: TCU HAS GOTTEN A HUGE CHUNK OF THEIR POINTS TONIGHT WITH THE FRESHMAN SERVING. HER THREE ACES A CAREER HIGH. FOUR ACES NOW FOR THE FRESHMAN! SHE CAME INTO THE NIGHT WITH SIX THE SEASON. >> Salima: SHE'S SUCH A COMPETITOR AND SUCH A TOUGH PLAYER, MOVING THE BALL AROUND A LITTLE BIT. THE BALL RIGHT IN THE SEAM BETWEEN EGGLESTON AND FIELDS. >> Alex: 3-0 RUN FOR TCU. RAIOLA, BRIONNE BUTLER THERE IN THE MIDDLE. SO HERE WE GO. SET POINT. THIS IS WHO THEY WANT SERVING, MELANIE PARRA STARTED OFF THE NIGHT WITH TWO ACES. ANOTHER GREAT CROWD HERE. COMES FLYING INCOME UP BLOCKED BY BUTLER. SHOULD GIVE IT ANOTHER SHOT. TCU NOT GOING AWAY LATE IN THIS SET. >> Salima: THAT WAS ALL HER, UPPER LEFT HAND ON THE BALL. >> Alex: THE ONLY PLAYER ON THE TEAM WHO'S PLAYED ALL FIVE YEARS AT TCU. ANOTHER ACE, EIGHT ACES FOR THE HORNED FROGS TONIGHT. >> Salima: THEY ARE PUTTING A TON OF PRESSURE ON THE SERVICE LINE, JUST GOING FOR RIGHT NOW. >> Alex: THEY PULLED WITHIN 23-20 AFTER TRAILING AND HERE THEY GO AGAIN. A 5-1 RUN. IT'S 24-20. UNREAL. AND THEY'RE GETTING IT DONE AT THE SERVICE LINE. >> Salima: AGGRESSIVE BEHIND THE SERVICE LINE. IT REALLY DRIVING THE BALL DEEP AND IN THE SEAM. THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE DOING REALLY WELL. THEY ARE WORKING THIS SEEMS REALLY WELL. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO. SERVE TOUGH INTO THE SEAMS. >> Alex: EIGHT ACES. MOST EVER THREW TWO SETS AGAINST THE LONGHORNS. TCU WILL AGAINST TEXAS, 0-10 HERE IN AUSTIN. HERE COMES THE QUESTION YOU'RE DREADING. I'M NASTY. HOW DO YOU STOP THIS RUN THAT TCU IS ON RIGHT NOW? >> Salima: YOU CALL A TIMEOUT, GO UP TO SERVE A LITTLE BIT. RECRUIT AND TALK TO YOUR TEAM. I MEAN, THAT'S THE MOMENT IN THE SET WHERE YOU HAVE A CONVERSATION, PASS THIS OFF TO ONE ANOTHER AS PASTORS ESPECIALLY IN THE SEAM.

THEY CAME INTO TONIGHT'S 75TH IN THE NATION IN BLOCKS PER SET. THAT'S DOWN FROM LAST YEAR WHEN THEY WERE 11TH IN THE COUNTRY. WHAT HE THINK OF THE DISCREPANCY THERE? >> Salima: IT'S HARD TO SAY BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT'S WHO YOU'RE PLAYING AND HOW THEY'RE ATTACKING THE BALL, HOW QUICKLY ARE YOU WINNING MATCHES? THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS INVOLVED BUT HE DID SAY IT'S AN AREA THEY DO NEED TO IMPROVE ON. THAT WAS A BIG POINT OF EMPHASIS WHEN THEY STARTED THE SEASON.

LONGHORNS ON AN 8-2 RUN, MAKE THAT 8-3. >> Salima: QUICK SAT OUT OF THE MIDDLE. JUST WORKING AT THE NET. GETTING SOME TOUCHES, MOVING LEFT AND RIGHT. WE DON'T SAY HER NAME A TON FOR KILLS BUT DOING A LOT FOR THIS TEAM. TAYLOR RAIOLA NOW AT TEN KILLS TO LEAD TCU. >> Salima: YOU SEE HER SAYING YEP, EXACTLY, THAT'S WHY I WANTED YOU TO PUT THE BALL AND SHE'S MAKING THE MOVE UP THE NET AND SHE HAS TO TRANSITION BACK.
