I'm anxiously awaiting this match and am pumped that I'll actually be able to watch it. I know Mizzou has been having great crowds but the Huskers did just fine with that last year. I'm quite suprised with their success given Hunter's departure. Still several Nebraska kids on their roster although as many play as before, Wilson and Ailes. Personally I think this match is more important for Missouri than for Nebraska. The Huskers are a team they just haven't solved.....YET. Let's hope it's not this week. ;D

The game will start as a close one because Missouri will be playing on a lot of emotion. Once the emotion subsides, and it will, the Huskers will take over and win handily. If the Husker win the first game, it will be a sweep, otherwise Huskers in 4.

If Misouri takes a single game off Nebraska I would be shocked.......

Oh come on Beachman. 1 game would shock you? Mizzzou beat Tx, and is at home vs their biggest rival. There are Nebraskan's on Mizzou's team who live for this game. I will not be shocked, but I will be suprised if Missouri doesn't win one game.

Long Beach is a mediocre team this year and we swept them, and it was out first mtch of the season but not theirs.....I didn't see a ton of talent on the floor on their side of the net, quite frankly......Nebraska would have to really play down to the level of the competition

According to Beachman an entire team's season and talent level can be determined by a team's second match of the day played on the road during a tournament at the beginning of the season. Also teams do not gain experience and improve as the season goes on.
This is so obvious! Why did I not think of this first?

All we can say is that the Missouri team has improved and played better (and hence better wins) since their loss to LBSU while LBSU has remained languished with few visible signs of improvement (as compared to Missouri).
Whatever has happened to LBSU over the last few years? A rash of injuries, transfers and poor post season performance show that Brian G has lost his toupee, ooppss...mojo!

Does this explain the Beachman vendetta against Missouri? If only I cared.

Nebraska is not the team they were last year. This one might go to 5.... love to see Penn State rightfully take over the #1 spot...

I would be shocked if JC uses all of his alloted time outs.

Missouri's defense is outstanding, while Larson and Pavan can put most anything away. this game is like the Olympics- U.S. hitters vs Chinese defense! I expect Nebraska in 4- but should be interesting.

Well, in Beachman's defense, Long Beach only gets worse as the season goes along, so he's not used to seeing or believing that teams might actually improve as time goes along, cause it doesn't happen over there. I wonder if Brian is still giddy?

Missouri will take a game off of Nebraska. But Missouri will eventually fall to them.

Larson is playing at a high level this year and their team Defense is much better, the Huskers still have questions in the middle. I think Missouri takes 1 game just on emotion but great teams with superior talent just where opponents down physically and mentally. That's what Nebraska will do to Mizzou. By the way I didn't know Long Beach still had a team. I thought they moved to intramurals.

Nebraska has problems in the middle?j Stalls is having an awesome year, and they have two middles Cooper and Gates who could start for about anyone battling it out for one spot
