Maryland vs Nebraska is sold out according to Maryland Twitter - pretty cool! Assuming a good amount of Husker fans from the East Coast will be there to represent. I was pretty impressed, since the XFINITY Center seats 17,000 fans, but a bit of searching says their volleyball/wrestling arena seats 1,500.

No, I don’t think so. One production company doing the game. NPM gets the leftovers at home that the BTN or Fox Sports doesn’t do. But it isn’t at all second rate quality. IMO, as good or better than any network that broadcasts major college women’s indoor volleyball. Does NPM ever do the Omaha (UNO) volleyball games? Or is there interest in that? I'm just wondering from a grow the sport interest outside UNL and since NPM appears to just get the UNL leftovers. I think if UNO played Nebraska for sure, and possibly Creighton, that a broadcast would/could happen. But i don’t know for sure. But it makes sense.

The highest attendance figure for a volleyball match there is 2,225, set in 2019 against Nebraska.

UNO hosted Creighton at Baxter Arena a couple weekends ago.

I really want to see Lauenstein hit the super sharp cross court shot like Sarah Franklin last night in the loss vs. Minnesota, anybody else? With the heat Whitney puts on the ball that could be unstoppable.

Future broadcasts might be based on the preferences of their donors in surveys.

(even at this level) Heck that's the shot I was wanted to see from Jazz Sweet as a lefty on the right side but it never materialized. Love Franklin, she's one of the best pins in the country.

If we keep running the 6-2 I could see us not getting a weekly award this year (except for maybe defensive). Isn’t necessarily a bad thing, just means offense is more spread out, less likely for a player to go off. I’ll take the team wins!

Ignorant question possibly, but does Lindsay have some difficulty hearing? Saturday was the first time I'd noticed an earpiece of some sort.

I spent a few minutes trying to find pictures of Lindsay Peterson before realizing you meant Krause. Doh! Krause has jewelry in her ear. There are pretty clear pictures of a stud in her right ear. But there's something bigger in her left ear, possibly jewelry, possibly an assistive device. You can see it in the Stanford and Michigan State match galleries. There's another good shot in the LBSU gallery. It doesn't seem to be there in the Pepperdine match, but it does in the LMU match. Maybe it's a new piercing covered by tape? huskers.com/sports/womens-volleyball/schedule/2022

With the heat Whitney puts on the ball that could be unstoppable. It looks to me like Whit has taken a little bit of heat off her swing in last 2 games. It’s made her less effective, as her stats were lower this past week. Think she’s best when she’s going full bore…her power is Foecke-esque. Mix in some off speed placement shots, sure, but the power shot needs to be her bread and butter.

Stanford block may have gotten in her head, so maybe a mental thing?
