Couldn't make it through the entire match after a long day but as I woke from my slumber, my wife smiled and asked if I wanted to know who won. I'll watch the last two sets later today but it looks like it was an absolute thriller.
Tip of the cap to the Huskers on a huge win.

Ok, I couldn't wait to watch so I did this morning. LOL
To start the 4th set, the biggest adjustment for Nebraska was backing their hitters off the net and they started getting kills off the block rather than getting stuffed on a tighter set. Smart move. Wisconsin also helped them a lot of unforced errors... missing serves, overpasses and hitting a lot of balls wide on good sets, including Smrek, of all people, hitting one into the crowd at 23-22.
Hard to believe a replay review of a net violation is how the match ended but give John Cook credit, he rallied his troops for a huge win. And did on the back of a freshman, setting Murray three of the last four points for the win.
Great volleyball match.

Nebraska comes out strong and takes the first set then the Badgers put on a blocking clinic in the second set, scoring 12 of their 25 points on blocks. That is unheard of. And impressive. It went 5 sets as most thought it would. I watched it on b1g. A real nail biter. This was thought to be a rebuilding year for Nebraska. No seniors on the roster and four starting freshmen. They have risen to every test. The NU home court is something else. Extremely loud in excess of 100 at times.

Yes, they are young but they weren't ranked #5 in the preseason poll because everyone thought they were rebuilding. While young, they are loaded after pulling in four of the top 7 recruits and finished with the top recruiting class in the country. And if that wasn't enough, they have two of the top 5 recruits in 2024 already committed for next year. Nebraska doesn't rebuild.

And if it wasn't him, someone else made shit up. They were ranked #5 preseason, Nationally, as you pointed out and #2 in the B1G behind Wisky. Wisky may meet Neb two more times this yr. Once more in the reg season.

A rebuild is different at different places. Even reloads don’t often do as well as this group is doing. I like the recent and current recruiting classes. This group of freshmen could have an awesome four year run.

Wisky gets revenge in resounding fashion. After two close sets, they dominated Nebraska in the 3rd to finish the sweep. Very impressive win.
Undefeated no more!

There aren't many things I am better at than WVB. 🙂 Just kidding but I watch a fair amount of volleyball and despite the three losses, they are as balanced at all 6 rotations as anybody in the country. And they're battle tested. On their side of the bracket Texas can definitely play with them, although Smrek should have a field day against their young outsides and Stanford is the 2 seed for a reason. They have veterans up front in Baird and Kipp that can bring it. Whoever comes out of that region will definitely give Wisky a good match. On Nebraska's side, keep an eye on Arkansas. Quick team that can swing but maybe a little undersized and inexperienced to go all the way. Certainly a team that could hang with the Huskers if they can get by Kentucky and are on their game. Other than their middles, Louisville is also a little undersized but they block surprisingly well and are much more experienced. Very good team that swept Penn State and Kentucky then took Stanford 5 sets all in a week's span. Their only "bad" loss is to NC State. The others were to #4 Pitt in 5 and #12 GT in 4. They swept Pitt in their first meeting so definitely a team capable of a beating the Huskers. It's interesting to see the brackets, too. Five B1G teams made the tournament and they put three of them in Wisconsin's region. They made sure to keep them from getting three or four teams in the Final Four. LOL Should be fun.
