We’ll wrap up this thread with a few thoughts … A. Match was a bit disappointing in regards to being fun to watch (from an unbiased viewpoint). B. This particular Wisconsin lineup is a bit tough to imagine as National Champions. C. Nebraska should have another shot at the big prize and it will be interesting to see the performance of Landfair.

Why was this match not fun to watch? As a Nebraska fan, I thoroughly enjoyed it of course. However, what about the match made it not fun to watch? I am genuinely curious. 

This wasn't a blowout win. Those first two sets were very close up until the last few points. Both teams played pretty good defense, which made for some entertaining rallies. It was only the final set where Wisconsin kind of ran out of gas at the end. 

agree with you, gazelle1. This was not a match that Nebraska was even close to dominating. And even though the Huskers rarely seemed stressed, neither were they in control for most of the match. So I think it was qualitatively different from many of the other matches between top teams on networks ending in sweeps.
