Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 3538482, member: 2117"] I agree it isn't quite the same, but they essentially had 1 match all season that was competitive which was the Nebraska match. Aside from that match, the only times all season where Penn State had opponents come within 2 points in a set were vs Stanford and Ohio State. Every single other set was won by 3+, and vast majority were blow outs. Almost every single match had 1-2 sets that were absolute beat downs. If you compare it to UCONN's best teams during that stretch (IMO 2014/2016) you have: 2016: a couple of games where other teams hung with them through the first half (Notre Dame/DePaul and the game vs. Maryland when they were only up by 4 at home with a minute to go. 2014: played dead even with Maryland and BYU into 2nd half, played very tightly by Baylor through most of 2nd half. For their overall consistency and never having a threatening game aside from Nebraska, I think Penn State's season as a whole was more dominant than any individual UCONN season, but it's apples and oranges and there's ample room for interpretation. Both programs dominated their respective sport unlike anyone else had ever done during their 6 title stretches. [/QUOTE]
