Im no longer amazed by the work of Shondell, but yeah,  having 2 elite AAs transfer out, expectations were low.

Who has a stronger setter, between Nebraska and Texas?

[MarqHusker]

Nebraska lost.....a set.  First set loss since mid September v. Creighton.    Record crowd at Pauley Pavilion.    Good to hear Paul Sunderland again.  Nebraska now 15-0 in conf, 25-0 overall.

meanwhile, Penn St, now 8-7 in league, 14-11 overall, legitimate jeopardy of being on the tournament bubble.  they are the only program to never miss the NCAA tournament.

[FearlessF]

obviously a LOT of RED in that record crowd!

I was afraid they'd drop a set on this weekend trip (Damn!)

Not college, but our HS team just won states 

Our District has 32 teams in AAA.  Top 12 advance to district playoffs.

With 2 games left, our girls needed to win both to guarantee a playoff spot.  Turns out that they didn't actually need to win their last one, but they didn't know that at the time.  They were the #11 seed out of 12.  Beat the #6, #3, #2 and #1 seeds to gonto the 8 team state playoffs, where they won 3 more

four matches to go.    Nebraska can clinch share Thursday vs Iowa.     Meanwhile, can Rutgers avoid the cellar for once?

My girls went to the match in Bloomington tonight, while i hustle to make this DFW late flight home.  

Depending on which daughter answered,  Nebraska toyed w IU or they looked flat.

[FearlessF]

I think Nebraska is pretty good & Busboom can flat out coach

[ELA]

Must win for MSU against OSU this afternoon.

Probably need to win today and split with USC and UCLA next weekend to get in

[ELA]

Big MSU challenge late in the 2nd set to flip it from OSU set point to MSU set point, and MSU wins the set on the next point 26-24

Huge swing
