2024 Volleyball Thread

Wow, beat down in Lincoln. #5 N sweeping #2 Stanford easily and #1 Pitt sweeping #3 PSU.

I'd still expect to see Stanford in Louisville for FF in December.

I think everyone on our street went to the Pitt-PSU match, based on social media posts

John Cook just won his 700th match as Nebraska’s head coach, making him only the 3rd coach in Big Ten volleyball history to win 700 or more matches.

Also, the Huskers win over UCLA tonight extends Nebraska’s home match winning streak to 32, which is the second longest in America.

Friday Ohio St at USC, UCLA at Nebraska
Sunday Ohio st at UCLA, USC at Nebraska. 

Wtf.

On other hand, the west expansion has provided for easy Friday night late DH for BTN.

Paul Sunderland working pbp BTN is pretty cool

MSU gets their first Big Ten win of the year.  Naturally it's an upset of #16 USC on the road, in a match that started at 11PM ET

just one reason to ALWAYS carry a ball point pen

just one reason to ALWAYS carry a ball point pen

I always assume you carry a sword, but that’s probably more convenient

[FearlessF]

pretty quiet in the fieldhouse tonight

SWEEP!

[MarqHusker]

back row dominance, pretty big gap (not surprising).   i bet the passing stats will show a big delta.
