Shockers and the NCAA Tournament

[JayJ79]

Since my cable subscription does not include the "U" and the selection show is not part of ESPN3, is anyone aware of any online access to the selection show?

Given the past few selection shows that I watched, you won't be missing much. Other than being able to learn the brackets a couple minutes sooner than you will be able to see them online (i.e. posted on volleytalk).

The talking heads will spend 99% of the time discussing the Big10, Pac12, and Big12, with maybe some of the other BCS conferences sprinkled in. Actually, a good 80% of it will probably be talking about Penn State, as usual.

If it is, the NCAA isn't promoting it.

Sometimes you can get a seat on the front row, but personally I don't reccommend that....I'll try and update here as quickly as I see it on TV.

If there are specifics you'd like to know (other teams or seeds) just let me know here, and I'll look for it and post asap.

Will this include discussions of showers, young boys and assistant coaches?

this is the volleyball forum. Please take discussion of your video collection elsewhere.

Yes, that was as far as I got also. I assume ESPN has a lock on WVB, but I thought there might be an "outlaw outlet" somewhere. I'll just grab it off here and VT. Thanks.

Wichita State draws Arkansas at Lawrence on Friday. Winner gets the Jayhawks (probably).

It is an effing GREAT day!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arkansas in Lawrence and then KU, I don't think it could have gone any better for us.

[JayJ79]

UNI is in pretty much the exact spot that WSU was in last year. Taking on K-State in Lincoln, with on tap for the second round.

Is there a date/time for the match(es) yet?

We can win this regional. We can get swept by Arkansas but we can win this regional. For only the 2nd time in the history of the program we have a legit chance to advance to a regional, and without question, this is the best chance.

KU beat CU in Lawrence in 5 tough sets earlier this year. They are really good, but a lot like UNI if you ask me. They can score from a variety of people but they get to everything. They don't beat themselves.

But first things first, the Razorbacks. They beat KU in Fayetteville early in the year. They lost at home to OU 3-1. They were swept by Tennessee the only time they met and they ended the season losing 3-1 to a bad South Carolina team. They also swept Auburn at home but lost at Auburn 3-2.

As of 1 minute ago the gayhawk site wasn't updated.

All we know so far is that we play friday and that we will be in the 1st game. IIRC the 1st game is usually around 4:30 or 5 but we will have to wait to find out for sure.

Awesome!! Take out the hogs and then take down the Chickenhawks in their own gym! Ahhh, that'd be sweet!

Given the location, I'd expect a healthy number of Shocker fans in Lawrence. Go Shocks!
