I'm not.  They have mastered the art of slowing anybody's offense down, with tough serves, forcing team's out of system, making team's set to the obvious and only choice and then having such great block and floor defense.   All of this with a 'not bad' offense and a freshman setter, who has come on lately.   The reason Minnesota handled them so well this season is they had several reliable options when out of system and an elite setter.   Illinois can be that good and were in Lincoln this year.

Illinois' got that too (at least the setter part).  They are red hot.  Stanford and BYU have lots of weapons too and plus Setters.   The 3 best players in the FF are on other teams, fortunately, only one on each of them.  Nebraska will have to have good production from Sun, and particularly Sweet.  Oh yeah, Foecke has to be Foecke it is December after all.

I don't think Nebraska was the best team in the final 4 last season, yet..... there they were

in a 4-team single elimination tournament - almost anything can happen

I should probably put $100 on Illinois

experienced setters matter at this point...    Regardless of what happens, UNL fans and program have to be thrilled with the improvement over the season, especially considering they had a true freshman setter.

Alright. I am pulling for BYU to win this thing. If Stanford wins tonight then I will be rooting for the Big Ten team in the final. Thus my rooting interest in the Nebraska-Illinois game depends on the outcome of the BYU-Stanford game. If the Y wins then I will be pulling for the Illini. If Stanford wins then I will pull for the Huskers. I apologize in advance to anyone whose feelings might be hurt if I am rooting against their team.

It would actually be pretty funny if we had some random Stanford fan lurking who was inspired to create an account just to cuss me out for rooting against the Cardinal in both games.

Of course I'm pulling for Nebraska but I do want to see some new blood win the title for this sport.   There is so much more depth of competition than the old days but it is still dominated by the vball helmets.  Only one new champion since the 90s.
