Baffling that 6 people thought NKU would win this. Almost like they didn’t really the NKU had more losses playing in the Horizon than Michigan did playing in the Big Ten. Probably the same people that wanted half of the Horizon League in the NCAA tournament... I mean. Did Northern Kentucky play piss poor here? They lacked a terminator, but they were in this match. Look at Northern Iowa who got an at-large - did they even score 40 points over 3 sets against Missouri?

Look at Northern Iowa who got an at-large - did they even score 40 points over 3 sets against Missouri? I have now seen NKU play 5 times this season. None of those times would have given me even the slightest reason to believe they would win a match against Michigan. Anyone who has seen both teams play would come to the same conclusion. Why bring up UNI? NKU earned their spot in this tourney fair and square. Do I think other teams from the Horizon shouldnhave gorten in? No. Do I think the A-10 and MVC should have been 2-bid conferences? No. But i understand the rules that the NCAA selection committee operates under. It just leads to lots of boring games for audiences in my opinion. Plenty of these mid major squads with RPIs in the 30s or 40s have shown no ability to compete with tourney teams from the BIG or PAC and it often shows in the matches.
