That 5-8 left side for Pittsburgh is an absolute monster, Member-Meneh? Unreal physicality.

A 4 seed vs a 10 seed in the Championship game. Has that ever happened before?

Giorgia has a shot a National Championship ring. Hope she gets it.

Nebraska started the season with some injuries and new faces. They were not playing like a #10 at the end of the season though, and many thought they would win the Austin Regional. Still, Wisconsin has to be the favorite. But I would not expect a 3-0 match either.

In the 41 years of the NCAA Volleyball Championship there have only been 11 different schools to win the NCAA Tournament. Nebraska is a 5-time champion. Nebraska has lost the championship match 4 times. Wisconsin has been to 3 finals losing all 3 including once to Nebraska in 2000.

Of those 11 schools 9 of them have multiple championships. Only Kentucky and Washington are one-time winners. I would like to see another school added to the list.

In Big 10 play Wisconsin swept the Cornhuskers in Lincoln and won in 4 sets in Madison.

Wisconsin will be the favorite butIi would not be shocked if the Cornhuskers managed to pull out a win.
