Against a crappy Alabama Volleyball team. They are resilient.
Volleyball with the reverse sweep...
- Thread starter HotMop
- Start date
Just checked our record - State is 17-5 (7-4). Had no idea volleyball was doing that well.
What’s a reverse sweep?
Being down 2-0 and coming back to win 3-2. Very uncommon in volleyball
IT happens more than you think. Momentum in volleyball DOES NOT carry over set to set. They sets are really separate games within a match.
I mean its not the rarest thing in sport, but it is uncommon in a five set match. I'd estimate you see it once or twice a season.
Chat GPT says that in ten years of Division I volleyball, when a team wins the first two sets, they win the match 95% of the time. When going to all levels of volleyball, that number goes up to almost 98%.
A good day to play Alabama.
The volleyball team was very lethargic, going down two sets to none but somehow found 'it' and managed the win. Alabama had lost a lot in a row and losing to them would have been humiliating.
The soccer team - I saw some of the match - was up against a physically superior Alabama team. Bama was controlling early on, but, as they have done a number of times this year, the Soccer Dogs shut them out.

Arkansas lost to Auburn earlier this year the same way. I am not so sure 95% is an accurate stat.
If I thought it happens 1 out of every 10,000 matches, then yeah sure- it happens more than I think.
It is uncommon- simple as that.
It's our first reverse sweep in 3 years.
