Yeah, they still need 3-4 or more wins, which isn't automatic. But they have great opportunities in Iowa, Michigan State (twice), and Indiana. Plus they could pull another upset - Illinois (would that be an upset at this point?) and/or Penn State. The only wins I would absolutely count on are Michigan State. But, I think they get enough wins for the tourney.
Mostly joking. It’s a great win, and would be great to have such a good academic school improve its place in BIG volleyball. I don’t really follow Purdue closely, but I have it in my mind that they seem to be prone to mini-collapses during the course of the season over the years. Any idea of attendance?

Any idea of attendance? 1624 according to the box score. nusports.com/sports/womens-volleyball/stats/2022/-12-purdue/boxscore/20199I was in Welsh-Ryan Arena last year when the Gophers won in 5 against the ‘Cats. 1119 in attendance with good energy. Lots of club/high school teams there. It’s a great venue for watching volleyball.

NW floor defense was very impressive in the fifth set. I thought losing Rousseau would be a blow, but the 'Cats persevere
They remind me of flypaper... They stick to you and you just cannot shake them off.
It's easy to tighten up in crunch time. They were willing to swing to win... not swing not to lose
IMPRESSIVE.
