I'm not going to be quick to jump to conclusions here, but one thing I predict is a 5 setter.

Love my gophers, but Creighton looks strong. MNs sad play peaked through in set 3 against Utah State. It could go either way!

This is a tough one for the Gophers. Hope for a competitive match. Go Gophers.

I am a big KBB fan due to fellow Bulldog alumni ties, but Creighton has been prone to upset losses in the NCAA Tournament, and the Minnesota pin hitters are not easy to stop. I am going Jays in 5, but I am not confident in that!

I am going Jays in 5, but I am not confident in that! TayLa and Wookie were held to a combined 15K, 10E, 53Attempts (0.094) by Utah State. That's not gonna cut it against Creighton. |

No, but that was a great effort by Utah State against them! |

I really need for Creighton to win please ❤️ Sorry, but I need Minnesota to win even more. And we all know that the needs of JT outweigh the needs of the many, or even the one-somebody-else.   |

This one has the makings of an all out war. In the end I think that Creighton wins in 5 tough sets over my Gophers. Creighton is my dark horse Final 4 pick.

Minnesota in 5.
The Gophers look ready to battle! They will need to hold strong and get consistent. TayLa and Wookie will need big nights as well.
I've only seen Creighton once and that was against Nebraska so I haven't seen Norah Sis in 2023. They were able to extend the Huskers and it looks like, per usual, the Bluejays have enjoyed a great season.

from Gopher thread:
These teams probably know each other's strengths and weaknesses
KBB certainly does
MN has been on a very good trajectory recently
The outcome, however, will come down to execution and the ability of the opponent
to deny the other their ability to execute
There is both a quantitative and qualitative difference between the B1G and the Big East
RPI| Team RPI
11 Creighton 1 Nebraska
23 Marquette 6 Wisconsin
47 Saint John's 9 Purdue
92 Xavier 15 Penn State
95 DePaul 31 Minnesota
103 Villanova 71 Indiana
160 Butler 74 Northwestern
173 Seton Hall 86 Ohio State
181 Georgetown 87 Michigan State
227 Connecticut 93 Illinois
272 Providence 107 MarylandThe B1G may not be as strong this year in producing tourney worthy teams
but there's no question that the conference season is a crucible that, from
extended pounding, can forge a more battle tested squad.
I know who both Louisville & Pitt will be rooting for.
