Is Louisville an exhibition or actual game? It's one of 2 matches comprising the inaugral 2024 AVCA First Serve Showcase. Nebraska plays Kentucky in the other non-conference match. |

Some ugly travel requirements - At Rutgers on a Wednesday, at USC on a Thursday (followed by UCLA on Saturday, giving then Sunday to get home etc). At Minn on a Wednesday, at Indiana on a Thursday.
The Thursday matches mean only once do they play on consecutive days. So that probably helps.

No way they play AT Nebraska TWICE The Nov 1st says "Lincoln" but at the left on the schedule page, there is a "vs" instead of an "at". So I'm guessing the Nov 1 is in Madison. |

That stretch from Nov 9th to the 23rd is something: PSU, USC, UCLA, Minn, Neb. Three of them away from home.
Also interesting that both Neb matches are in Nov. Should be interesting.

Kelly’s poll expires in 5 hours, let’s hope for some good news?? Would be a sick joke if there was no real news to break

"The Badgers will play host to the Cornhuskers on Nov. 1 and then travel to Lincoln for a rematch on Nov. 23."

Kelly’s poll expires in 5 hours, let’s hope for some good news?? Would be a sick joke if there was no real news to break Apparently, Sheff has time on his hands and was looking for something to do "for fun". Meanwhile, the lack of any real news is puzzling is light of Sheff's public pronouncements in April, 2024:
“We absolutely will be bringing in at least one more person through the portal,” Sheffield said. “What that is, we don’t know. We have one scholarship and we absolutely are hoping to use that. That is the plan. Ideally, we would like two attackers, whether that’s a left and a right or a left and a middle. That’s one of the advantages of our big kids being capable of playing multiple positions.”
As it is, Wisconsin will have just three outsides — Franklin, Orzol [final year for them] and Trinity Shadd-Ceres [true freshman].
"I feel like we’re in as good a position with those three as anyone in the country,” Sheffield said. “But I’d feel a whole lot better if it was more than just three. We’ve had years where we’ve had five. And it’s an incredible opportunity because two of those are graduating after this year and one of those was our libero. So is it possible to break into the lineup this year? Yeah. Does it give them an advantage for the year after to break into the lineup? Yeah. That’s a position we would like to add a little bit more."
While we wait for portal-related news, it will be great to see some 2026 BINGOs soon [?]

Maybe we'll get an OH who's around a Sophomore or Junior. Hopefully we also get another Libero/DS especially with Sage's injury history. |
