Just having skimmed the last 6 or 7 pages of this thread (cannot say I read them - at my age I don't have that much time to waste) I assume there is nothing going on in the B1G volleyball world this week? Well...not much. There's this tournament that 8 teams have been invited to, but other than that, nope, not much going on. Proper names for the institutions that make up our conference is vital dialogue that takes top billing Skunkbears |

Really excited to see IU play Mulan. However, I think her ancestors will carry Mulan to the 3-0 sweep. |

Hope this does not continue. Some of the tourney opponents seem to be disrespecting BigTen.

Every single Big team has lost a set today that has played. Will probably go 2-2 of the matches currently on.

I’m honestly cracking up at these B1G teams dropping sets to schools from ‘lesser’ conferences.

Just woke up from a horrible nap nightmare that everyone was beating up on the BigTen.

So what was the total damage at the end of the day? Michigan losing to Ball St 2-3?
Is that really worse than Oregon getting swept by Kansas?
Every other Big Ten team swept in the first round, except Illinois won 3-1 over West Virginia.
Then Purdue "only" beat Dayton, who had just beaten Marquette, 3-2 in the West Laf. sub-region final. Was a "reverse sweep" or whatever the term is.
Institutionally and men's basketball wise certainly, Dayton is a Big East institution. Don't know about volleyball program generally, but this year would seem to belong as well.
I think the Big Ten is just fine.

They dropped a set to Towson and I’d hope the rest of the big ten swept their opening round matches against those aqs….. |

Every other Big Ten team swept in the first round, except Illinois won 3-1 over West Virginia. Not that it really matters, but Towson won a set off Penn State too. The big tests are today. The B1G needs a couple upsets to get 7 teams into the Sweet 16. It's possible. 4 is possible too, with both unseeded falling + 1 of Minnesota/Ohio State falling. I would be stunned if only 3 make it into the Sweet 16. There could be a chance that all 5 of the P5 conferences get 3 teams into the Sweet 16. And the P6 gets 1  I'd say these are in most likely to win to least likely: Wisconsin/FGCU Nebraska/Florida State Ohio State/Tennessee Minnesota/Stanford Penn State/Pittsburgh Illinois/Kentucky |
