GCU vs USC Men's Volleyball 2023

[@kaidenharding7658]

The little twirly bird set at 6:30 into one of the cleanest slides i've seen. Smooth.

[@Lucalaurin]

That spinny set at 6:28 was such a flex

[@anglinoutdoors1307]

agh man that play was so satisfying

[@parveshkumar6865]

Awesome play,,never seen like this before

[@infmoon63]

DOesnt seemlike a flex because he does it multiple times I think it just throws the other team off

[@t.ward4]

GCU's middle back-set D-ball at 19:45 was imaculate

[@cameronstacy8785]

2:30 it looked like the outside hitter jumped too early but he's just built different

[@holyexcalibur9393]

Could’ve been expecting a tempo set rather than a 4, but he got MAD hops to make up for it

[@adrienk8166]

definitely early, but also definitely built different. he jumped high af

[@Jakesnake7878_]

I played against Dillion Klein (#1) on usc last year and that man ten foot over my block and I’m 6 ft 5 so it makes sense why he is starting as a freshman

[@ShieldHero1]

I was gonna say this is my first time seeing him and he looks very good

[@evanmaclean9774]

I mean he was the #1 recruit of his class

[@waterbottle515]

Man I really wanna go pro in volleyball as well but I'm 5'6

[@crumbdav]

Really great passing by both teams. It was fun to watch each team run their offenses...

[@thepretzelball]

For people wondering what touch happened at around 11:35 , the setter did BARELY touch the net. If you are on computer pause at 11:37 and press the period to go forward one frame at a time and you will see him BARELY I mean barely move the net down but it was a really good call by the ref to see that.

[@unosumill3]

Barely ?

[@thepretzelball]

@@unosumill3 Barely in this case is more relative. Usually a net violation is glaryling obvious. I had to rewatch it to see what even happened.

[@Sidguru101]

Yea the net moved

[@cc-cc4499]

It is disrespectful acting innocent when being caught by the referee.

[@andrewchen3591]

smart play from the setter to set him and get him going

[@SynthBK]

14:13 they both dived at the same time super satisfyingly

[@moisuan1828]

6:30 that set was livid

[@jameshmn]

No. 16 from GCU looks like a different breed

3:33 - 4:06 rally was insane

[@Tam3603]

I’m in 9th grade and I am amazed at these players and their game. I really hope I can get as good as they are in 4 years, if I practice hard enough, I can do it! Yeah!

[@Bigboibeven]

I remember thinking that too as a freshman, and back then the players in college were so much better than the players now. I was looking at players like Micah Ma'a, Kofi Gyimah, James Shaw, Michael Saeta, Scott Stadick, and several others. Then reality hit...

[@tom139o7]

Lol

[@matik4605]

What exactly is considered a hold in volleyball? 3:43 looks like he carried the ball for a decent amount of time. Just curious since I recently started playing volleyball.

[@prexcysicuya7477]

It’s called a ‘lift’ in volleyball. Yes i agree with you. Looks like a lift to me, hence the reactions of the crowd

[@seattlesportshighlights9046]

On the team's first touch as long as it's one attempt it doesn't count as a carry/lift

[@Lucalaurin]

@@seattlesportshighlights9046 exactly this. Doubles are also called more leniently on the first touch because you only have so much control when passing a hit. Most of the time if you do a light double on first contact it will be a disadvantage for your own team cause you didn't control the ball properly.

[@Lucalaurin]

Usually if you contact the ball below chest height and your contact is longer than just the impact it will be a lift. For example you try to push the ball up with two hands when it's level with your stomach that will be lift 99% of the time but also if it's a slow ball and instead of bumping it on impact you end up "throwing" it with your platform. It also all depends on how strict the ref is and what level you play. At the low level only the most extreme examples of a lift will be called as such.

[@winstonwu4622]

@@seattlesportshighlights9046 The first contact is allowed to be a double. Lifts are a foul everytime.

[@velvety2528]

19:41 beautiful swing

that #16 is insane with his kills!

[@justjam653]

i was hoping to see a comment like this. kid has bunnies

[@ShieldHero1]

GCU setter is very talented

[@Broanater]

That play at 10:30 was insane.

[@forme3h]

Hawaii always do the slides🤣

[@username15yearsago52]

Slide is not popular at all in the men's game. Hawaii started using their middle a few years ago on the slide and a lot of school uses them to diversify their attack option now.

[@winstonwu4622]

@@forme3h He's not referring to the slide by itself. The setter jumps while twitching making them believe he's gonna swing on two and gives the middle a free slide with no blockers. So yes insane.

[@GoldenChildBH]

2:31 this dudes knees are above the bottom of the net. That’s crazy

[@unokazuma140]

Cameraman is the best! Very good filming!!

[@Proalex-zd2uk]

woow perfect timing i just came home and i found this

[@VolleyballSan]

In the play at 0:30 the setter pass his whole foot through the line, that's a foul, but the referee didn't see it

3:43 looks like a lift tbh

Cuz it was

[@tyby3418]

Am I the only one who just roots for whoever is on the same side as he is... And then unconsciously switches over to the other team whenever they swap? just me? maybe...

Was that a carry at 3:44 ? Sorry I’m a newbie thank you guys in advance!

[@lucasraske5760]

might be a lift but I don't think do, a lift would be lower, but it might be because of how long it was in his hands and how far back the ball went in his hands

[@s5low738]

GCU setters are amazing

[@dtvolleyball]

I wish I could jump as high as #16! haha

do u know why they’re playing two libs for gcu?

@@calebt Yea teams usually play 2 libs because one of the liberos is better at serve receive while the other libero is better at floor defense

[@lightstruly]

you know his @ by any chance?

[@calebt]

@@joshprospero oh interesting. so 22 is the defense and the other lib is serve receive?

[@calebt]

i thought the rule though is that you can only do one swap per full cycle of rotation, which is normally for middles. so wouldn’t that be a swap every single rotation?

[@JohnMKim-nt2li]

doesn't get any better then this... just much more of this... if you don't like this.. you don't like volleyball.
