four seasons, Wisconsin has been ableto capture the Big Ten championship, and
the twenty twenty three conference season startstonight at Northwestern. From Walsh, Ryan
Arena and Evanson, John Audius andJessica Williams with you as Wisconsin, the
number one ranked team in the country, takes on the Wildcats. So what
does the start a Big Ten playmean for head coach Kelly Sheffield and the

(01:08):
Badgers. Here's the head coach,What's the next phase of the season.
It's one that you you certainly geta lot a lot of more excited about
playing playing in this league and andyou know, in your pursuit of a
championship is is always a goal,you know, and you're going to get
tested night in and nine out.We had a we had a great non

(01:32):
conference schedule. I think it wassecond toughest UH non conference schedule in the
country core in RPI, and youknow, and it it gets even more
challenging. I mean, you openup with Northwestern and you know, apparently
they're looking at having a record crowdthis evening, which would if that's the
case, that means that every roadtrip we've been on so far as had

(01:55):
record crowds, which are which arejust great for our teams to be a
part of that. Yeah, Iwas going to ask you what do those
crowds mean because you mentioned the potentialrecord here. Their program record is four
thousand, nineteen. They're going toget close to that. Seven thousand a
night at the field House, seventeenthousand in Milwaukee, forty three hundred Arkansas,
that program record, ten thousand,Florida, that program record. So

(02:16):
what does what do these environments.Do they help the team? Oh,
they have to. You know,it's uh, you know, I think
for a long time we've been gettingeverybody's best shot. But you know when
you walk in and there's a evendifferent buzz and level of excitement from your
front the opposing team because they havea different level of support. Uh,

(02:38):
it's a uh. I mean theycome after you with everything and everybody's and
it's kind of us against the worldmentality that's that they can't that that has
to help a team come together,and it has we have. I'm so
proud of our team of being ableto fight and battle in some really tough
environments. It's been it's been cool. Yeah, they've come through, Like
you know, the seven oh runin front of that crowd at Arkansas,

(03:00):
the five will run against Marquette,the down oh two. They've really responded
in front of those big crowds forsure. Talking with Kelly Sheffield, Big
ten play starts number one Wisconsin atNorthwestern, I want to ask you about
the play of Anna Smex. She'shad back to back matches with season highs
in kills. When she has thattype of success, do you think that
makes teams need to prepare perhaps alittle bit differently had they had she not

(03:24):
had those those impactful matches. I'vesaid, somewhere down the line, she'll
be one of the top five playersin the world, and I think that'll
happen after after she's done with college, but at some point at will and
she's just on the path of that. She's she's starting to figure out the
timing and the rhythm, share handcontact, is getting better connections with the

(03:46):
setters. But she's able to managesituations much better than what she was a
year ago. Yeah, it's ashe's a player that can that can carry
us, and and we're leaning onher and she's she's playing a lot better,
a lot cleaner in bigger moments.Sometimes in the past she'd get kind
of wound up tight and kind ofhad a tendency of maybe airing a little
bit more in those. But she'sgetting a lot more confortable. She has

(04:09):
no fear. That's the other thingI love about her. All Right,
Well, best of luck tonight,Thanks John. That's Wisconsin head coach Kelly
Sheffield. We will get a scoutof the wild Cats coming up next or
listening to Wisconsin Badger Volleyball presented byGoodman's Jewelers, providing Sparkle to Madison for
ninety years. This is Wisconsin Volleyball, brought to you by good Mun's Jewelers,

(04:30):
Madison's Diamond Store, and a wholelot more. I walcome back to
Walsh Ryan Arena number one Wisconsin,opening the Big Ten season taking on the
north Western Wildcats. You know,one thing that Gary talked about in the
weekly press conference was it was kindof good to get on. I guess

(04:50):
what's considered a normal practice schedule thisweek with a Sunday match against Florida and
then Friday here tonight. Does thathelp as you know, as you prepare
for two Big Ten matches, There'sno question it helps. I think.
You know, we've been learning insome pretty high intense pressure moments. You
know, we don't get a practicemuch, especially you know, sixty six

(05:13):
versus each other or working on thingsthat we really want to work on.
Most of the practices leading up tothis point, prior to this week has
just been touches really and getting loose. Let's talk about Northwestern. Alexa Russo
is a very active setter. She'saidtriple doubles in the past. I think
her season high this year as faras kills is seven. What will it
be like to face an active setterlike that. Well, you know,

(05:36):
they cause a lot of stress atthe net for your middles, and when
that happens, there's a trickle effectthat that can create, seems, you
know, in the block and thendefensively, your second line of defense needs
to kind of jump into that.So, you know, I'm excited for
our middles to see how they handlethat and the information and are they getting
hyper, are they getting jump inthe net or are they just cool,

(05:57):
calm, collective and making really goodreads and good moves their offense. I
know San Jacimo likes to, youknow, take a lot of swings to
what is their offense kind of consistof. Well, you know, like
I said, the center creates alot of holes for their attackers, and
she'll go to the go to hitter, and she'll keep going to the go
to hitter, but can move itaround really well. Best of luck tonight,
Thanks John. All right, that'sassociate head coach Brittany Dildne. Keep

our question again, play in WellsShane Arena and see everyone. The team
is off to a great start throughthe non conference. Big tem play obviously
is here nine and oh got therewith that huge win Sunday against Florida.
What has allowed this team to beable to start undefeated? I think in
those hard moments, we kind ofcome together as a team and we just

(56:20):
pushed through together, and we staytogether throughout those hard times. I think
having that kind of base of knowingthat we're all in this together, we
can push through things if we keepfighting as a team has helped us pull
through in those hard moments and thoseresults. I mean, that's got to
give the team confidence. You know, you can look back at the seven
old run to end one of thesets against Arkansas five own a very pivotal

(56:42):
set against Marquette of course down ohtwo to Florida. Does that just give
the team more confidence when those thingsactually come through with success. Definitely.
It gives us more confidence through thosehard times and also shows us who we
can be if we stick together.All right, rapid fire time Talking with
Timmy Thomas Ailara here at the what'syour favorite part about Madison so far?

(57:02):

(01:23:06):
Coast match show underway, John Odiouswith you as the Badgers able to beat
Northwestern here tonight in three sets atWelsh Ryan Arena in front of a record
setting crowd for the Northwestern Wildcats,four thousand, eight hundred was the final
number. Four thousand, eight hundredeighty nine final number of fans of program

(01:23:30):
record for the Wildcats. As they'reable to take on Wisconsin here tonight,
Let's take a look at how everythingwent down. Badgers able in that first
set to go on a seven ohrun which kind of separated the two teams.
Got it to eighteen to ten.Badgers hit four hundred in that match,

(01:23:55):
one to forty three for Northwestern twentyfive. I've eighteen in the second
set. Batcher's cruise twenty five totwelve thanks to the serving of Jolie Oshoe
and Batchler's cruising the third twenty fiveto thirteen. I joined with one of
the stars of today's match, DevinRobinson. Eleven kills, you hit five
fifty six. What was working foryou and your teammates out there the most?

(01:24:19):
I feel like our first contact wasjust really good. We just kind
of stayed steady the whole time.And I don't know, he had all
the trusts in the world to me. So I gotta ask you about the
end of this one. Because coachSheffield leads your teammate Timmy Thomas Ailar and
and of course she hadn't served allmatch. What was it like to see
her get that final ace to endagainst her former team. I feel like
we all knew it was gonna happen. You know, it was just the

(01:24:40):
only only right way to end thismatch. You know, Timmy getting the
ace where she used to come from. All right, So you had three
blocks as a team, the Batcher'shad eight, and that seemed like a
pretty solid block there against Northwestern.How would you rate the block tonight?
I feel like our blocks it's beenbetter than hus been you know, great
touches a lot less negative. Soyeah, we've been working a lot on
it. Well, congratulations on thevictory and congratulations on your art Sandy match.

(01:25:04):
Thanks step Devin Robinson with the victory. Here the Badgers win it.
Here comes Coach Sheffield. Sorry coach, we've had some technical difficulties here tonight.
Uh so we're doing it over thephone. So he just kind of
talk about I was just asking Devinabout it. She said, you know

(01:25:25):
when Tammy ends it at the end, you knew that was coming as kind
of what she said. Uh,it was pretty cool to see Tammy ended
with an ace. Yeah. Firstof all, how a football team doing.
I have no idea. Okay,all right, shuh Yeah. She
goes back here and I serve andI turned to the bench. I said,

(01:25:46):
I said, watch, this shouldbe pretty badass. If she aces,
I'm right now, turn around justin time to see or drop right
inside the end line. But yeah, it's a fun way to end it.
I mean your team. Uh,in this match, I thought one
of the keys was Julia Ojo inthat second set, which really just busted

(01:26:06):
it wide open. Not only wasshe getting a couple of bass but she
was getting Northwestern out assistant. She'sbeen like very consistent over her last few
matches behind the service line. Howdo you see her behind the line recently?
Well, she's she's serving with alot more pace and uh, you
know, and hiding it nice andclean and flat and got a little bit

(01:26:28):
of a run, you know what. I see her errors are going up
a little bit more. But heropponent's passing percentage is really UH is really
dropping and we're scoring a lot ofpoints off of her serve. She's applying
a lot of pressures, so she'strying to find that a little balance bit.
UH. The kid has a lotof confidence that her serve is better

(01:26:51):
than other people's UH receive and she'sbeen like app for a little a little
while. It's fun, it's funto watch. What's also fun to watch
is these UH program records that keepfollowing this team around Arkansas program record in
attendance, Ye had the seventeen thousandAdviser Florida program record over ten thousand tonight

(01:27:13):
four thousand, eight hundred and eightynine. That's a new school record for
Northwestern. What does it mean tohave this type of following wherever you go.
Yeah. Well, I mean it'sa every road trip we've had,
some bars had has a record crowdingand you know, but but you're also
seeing around the country. It's Ithink people are uh, it's we're promoting

(01:27:35):
this board better. We're on TVa lot more. I think it's,
uh, love the direction, youknow. But I thought we did a
great job switching gears. I thoughtwe did a great job receiving serve.
Uh you know that they were reallygoing after GG a lot tonight. I
thought she did a did a greatjob of keeping us in system her well,

(01:27:57):
I mean, I don't know.I mean we got a lot of
them on. They're trying to getthe ball on Timmy Frank handled the ball
real well. Defensively, I thoughtwe were fantastic. We it was good.
We haven't really been able to putback to back practices in in a
few weeks, and I think anelement of that has shown in our in
our match play this week. Wewere able to put two really good defensive

(01:28:21):
practices out there where that was thesole focus, and I thought we were
really good defensively. We were wewere pursuing balls, we were balanced,
we got you know, great blocktouches. We didn't get toot a whole
lot at the net, and withthe speed that they're wanting to run,

(01:28:43):
I thought we had great discipline andgreat deflections up of the net defensively this
we were pretty solid in those practices. The results of just the way the
schedule fell right where you had allthese days off in her own. Yeah,
it's a little bit funky of howwe how we've gone. And then
we've also sure for opportunities where wedon't. We don't do a whole lot
of back to back days off inpractice in season that if there's one or

(01:29:08):
two opportunities, we'll look for that. We threw one of those in because
we've been playing a lot of fivesettlers. So when you're playing a lot
of five setters, you're doing alot of traveling and you're not playing back
to back days, whether it's aday or two in between, it's hard,
you know, it's hard to getpractices in there, and so we've
been a lot more of recovery modethan being able to get in there and

(01:29:31):
go. We got a couple ofdays, a couple of days of that
this week, and I thought itshowed in our play congrats on the victory.
