Texas 3-1 over UNI.

Many perfect PTW scores so far. Looks like Hawaii v. USD might be the game changer.

Is that after the Utah v Kentucky debacle?

I do not know what you mean. If you have a score I don't show, please post it!

Just mean that Utah crushed Kentucky in 3 this evening, and only 15% of PTW voters went with Utah...

Also, Tennessee v Illinois was a marathon, with both teams having multiple match points in the fifth set, but the PTW favorite Illinois eventually pulled out the win.

Nebraska beat Creighton 3-1.

Arizona swept LMU

[Diggin' Water]

Illinois def. Tennessee 3-2

[vbbetterthanbb]

Wow! Only 4 12/12 out of 158.

[Diggin' Water]

Hawaii def San Diego 3-2

Hawaii over San Diego in 5. All Friday results in OP.

C4ndlelight, wiswell and eastside have early bragging rights with perfect 13 for 13 picks.

Only 3 lucky/smart people picked Florida State over #3 Minnesota. FSU is 2 points away from a sweep.

Get out the broom.  25-17, 26-24, leading 24-17...Minnesota on a 4 point run...

FSU wins 25-21.
