2019 B1G Volleyball Thread

Big Ten might be third behind the ACC after tonight. 

Notre Dame wins the state title vs Purdue, and OSU was the main course in a Panther feeding frenzy. 

One was an upset, the other went chalk. 


Of course ND lost to wright state last week, so... by the transitive property...

Rough day for BIG.  ND over Purdue, wash wins in 5 vs Ill,  CU handled Iowa.  Baylor in 4 at UW. Mich. Hammered by Mizzou. 

NW beat TT,  Nebraska beat AZ in 4.

While the BIG has Rutger,  the ACC has Clemson, Virginia, BC, etc.  Clemson actually has a nice setter, Omaha just smoked them.

Though,  Maryland lost to UT Rio Grande Valley.

Baylor at UW another nice match,  though blacked out for utee.  How are the Cajun fellas.

Yeah it really sucks when you B1G and PAC folk fail to put these matches on TV.  Good thing every Longhorn game and match in every sport makes it to the airwaves.

Lotta lumps this weekend taken.  At least Minnesota bounced back over Fla.

N being pushed to a 5th at #25 San diego but wins 15-11.

I haven't seen Penn State yet this year, but hard to say 1 and 2 are not Stanford and Texas.  Great match.   Stanford pulls it out in 5.

That was a great match.  Always more fun to win, but the wonderful thing about college volleyball is we get to see lots of these types of matches at both the beginning AND end of the season.

This weekend OSU takes on the defending MAC champions, the BGSU Falcons, in Bowling Green!

Of course it will be in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Not Bowling Green, Ohio.

Stanford v PSU tonight on BTN. 9pm est

[MarqHusker]

UT takes down BYU in 4 sets.  Eggleston is really improved.  With White they might be the best pair of OHs anywhere. 

[Brutus Buckeye]

OSU upends the defending MAC champion. 

[MarqHusker]

Perhaps the travel and gauntlet catching up w Stanford.   They beat PSU in 4 tough sets last night but Minnesota takes them down in 4.  

The AVCA poll is a joke and will further that rep. if they vote Nebraska #1 this week.   They have looked very mediocre.   Helmet status.   Nebraska hosts Stanford on Wed.

The Nebraska volleyball team moved to No. 1 in the American Volleyball Coaches Association Poll, which was announced on Monday.

The Huskers received 37 of 64 first-place votes and totaled 1,550 points. Stanford dropped from No. 1 to No. 2 with 23 first-place votes and 1,538 points. Texas, Penn State and Baylor rounded out the top five.

It marks the first time the Huskers have held the No. 1 spot since the final poll of the 2017 NCAA Championship season. It also marks the Huskers' nation-leading 100th week all-time holding the No. 1 ranking in the AVCA poll.

On Wednesday at 7 p.m., the Huskers will host No. 2 Stanford, which held the No. 1 spot all season until a 3-1 loss against Minnesota on Saturday. Wednesday's match, which will be televised on BTN, will be the first time NU has played a match as the No. 1 team in the nation since Nov. 26, 2016. It will be the fifth all-time No. 1 vs. No. 2 match-up in program history. The Huskers are 2-2 all-time in No. 1 vs. No. 2 match-ups. The only other No. 1 vs. No. 2 match played in Lincoln was on Aug. 26, 1995, when No. 1 Stanford beat No. 2 Nebraska, 3-1.
