Ahhhh so basically who do I dislike less if Nebraska gets by Pitt, Nebraska fans have a dilemma: do they root for the conference colleagues (default choice), or being more calculating, root for the team they think Nebraska could more likely beat (which is not the Badgers)? It seems like most of the posts I see are corn huskers hoping the Badgers don't get to the final. |

(It would be like us rooting for the aggies) |

Hey Texas fans, is this accurate:
"I thought that was Shaff? Is Swindle also hurt?
yeah she injured her foot early on in the tournament. If you look at some of Texas's most recent games, you'll see that she doesn't jump set to save that foot/ankle"
I hope everyone is at full-strength for the match. That's the way it ought to be.

Is it confirmed this is the 2nd match on Thursday? I looked at the bracket on NCAA.com and both matches have TBA for a time. That's what ESPNU announced at the end of the Texas-Stanford match. |

If Texas can play at the level they did yesterday, this is a very intriguing match-up. Both great blocking teams with a terminal and clutch OH. Who will win serve and pass? I say Wisconsin 3-1, they have a better block and floor d than Stanford.

She’s been in a boot for weeks and weeks, I put the chances of her being completely healthy in Tampa at 0%. She and the coaching staff seem to be managing it well (limiting her jumps by not jump setting) but it seems to have affected her foot speed at times |

It’s the final four. Everything on the line is now. |

I was dead wrong about Texas before so I’ll refrain from making any predictions until the all BIG final

Wisconsin has put on some of the best performances I've seen this season. I also think they're the only team that can put up any challenge to the Huskers and I want that knock down, dragged out National Final.
Texas 2023 has been incredible with how they've come back from an uncharacteristic non-con and conference season.
I could be wrong and anything can happen at this stage in the tournament but I'm going with the Badgers in 4.
