Patch just hits it out-of-bounds, tied at 27-27, prime opportunity squandered there

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 6:37pm

and Sander, who is a very good server, hits his serve OOB. Tied at 28-28

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 6:38pm

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 6:38pm

Patch serving, BYU up 30-29

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 6:39pm

air mails it, and back and forth we continue, tied at 30-30

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 6:40pm

Ohio State finally takes a lead at 31-30

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 6:40pm

Cougars drop the first set 32-30. Incredible play in that set, BYU had it, but couldn't make do on several set point opportunities

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 6:41pm

OSU had one set point opportunity and took advantage

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 6:52pm

Patch gets beaned in the face and Ohio State leads 10-10...high-pitched gasps heard from Provo

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 6:54pm

second set setting up like the first. BYU maintaining a very tight lead, but Ohio State refusing to go away

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 6:56pm

OSU mishit puts BYU lead at 15-12, timeout Buckeyes

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 6:57pm

great set by Durkin, way out of position, Langlois puts it away and BYU leads 17-15

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:01pm

Sander kill puts BYU in prime position, up 19-16, OSU calls timeout

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:02pm

BYU held a 19-18 lead in the first set, for reference. Should put this one away, but OSU has shown all tournament a great comeback ability

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:03pm

Sander again playing incredible volleyball. 10 kills and no hitting errors. Hitting .667

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:04pm

hard to tell what the call is from up here, but refs taking away a point from BYU and calls a do-over

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:07pm

And OSU takes advantage, cuts BYU lead to 20-19...not entirely certain why it didn't go to 21-18 after an apparent clean Patch kill

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:08pm

being told a premature whistle ended the rally. Patch killed it over the net and it ricocheted off an OSU player into the crowd. tough break

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:08pm

alright, jury in. It was fan interference

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:09pm

sorry, way up here on top and real hard to know the exact call. Appreciate everyone chiming in. 20-20 now

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:09pm

that fan interference was a huge momentum swing. Now tied at 21-21...OSU now leads 22-21, BYU takes timeout

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:10pm

Patch kill would have put BYU up 21-18

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:11pm

Cougars had Buckeyes down 19-16. OSU now leads 22-21

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:12pm

Patch air-mails a kill, OSU pushes lead to 23-21

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:12pm

bad pass puts OSU at set point, 24-21

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:13pm

Cougars score two straight. OSU leads 24-23

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:14pm

Sander serving

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:14pm

OSU predictably calls a timeout. Sander is the guy you want serving in this type of situation, no doubt

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:14pm

looked like a questionable call, at best, but I'm really too far away to say for certain

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:15pm

Sander service error gives OSU the set 25-23. OSU leads 2-0

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:16pm

Biggest adversity BYU has faced in a long, long time. We'll see how the young team responds

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:17pm

starting to remind me of the 2013 championship match versus UC Irvine. Just a lot of missed opportunities to close sets out

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:18pm

Cougar fans seriously shocked right about now

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:20pm

OSU jumps out to a 3-1 lead in set 3

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:21pm

BYU ties it up 3-3

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:22pm

Ohio State with the momentum, BYU just not a lively bunch and Buckeyes lead 6-4...now 6-5 after a service error

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:25pm

Cougars passive on OSU serve, lets it go and it gets inside the line. OSU up 10-7 and Cougars take timeout

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:28pm

Cougar crowd in collective shock. OSU fans loud and raucous

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:28pm

7 set points and fan interference....

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:29pm

OSU scores a service ace out of the timeout, pushes lead to 11-7

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:29pm

12-7 Buckeyes

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:30pm

13-7

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:30pm

feel free to step away from the twitter machine...things looking very, very dire

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:31pm

Dobbert in for Patch, and not in the usual substitution

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:33pm

not the one rotation out, and then back in. Dobbert staying in. Chang also in at libero

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:33pm

BYU scores two straight, cuts OSU lead to 13-9

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:34pm

two straight from OSU, lead is at 16-11

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:36pm

Dobbert staying in there, so is Chang. Has helped a little bit, so far

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:37pm

OSU scores 3 straight, pushes lead to 18-12

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:38pm

19-12

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:38pm

BYU flat-footed as OSU pounds through an ace. Lead now at 20-12. Patch back in

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:39pm

OSU leads 22-15

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:41pm

MVP and All-tournament team ballots just asked for...is that the equivalent of the fat lady singing?

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:42pm

OSU now at championship point, up 24-16

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:43pm

Ohio State wins it rushes the middle of the court

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:43pm

shocking way to end BYU's season. Cougars had been completely dominant, but get swept in championship match

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:44pm

Cougars had prime opportunities to close out the first and second sets, sort of sleep-walked through the 3rd

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:44pm

LOL, BYU's own 5-o'clock Charlie (twitter version) as soon as BYU loses. Love it. Seriously. https://t.co/dN9V5C5dRJ

@BrandonCGurney

5/7/16 7:46pm

at least as shocking as the UC Irvine sweep of the Cougars in the 2013 championship match
