just a PSA, if you're looking to watch BE volleyball, dont pay $30 a month for FloSports.
There's ways to navigate the site to get it to at least $15/month.
(If you have a BEast email, it might be even cheaper)
if you need help, send a message/tag me on here. I have a comment with the method (well, for last year) on here somewhere.

All of them! Not really.
Marquette isn't in a tournament and only has one match, but plays Stanford next Wednesday (9 days from this post).
Xavier is playing in the Ohio tournament so there is some intrastate rivalry matches, Wright State and Ohio.
Villanova is in the Catholic challenge with (at)Santa Clara and Notre Dame
Creighton's home tournament features NC State (39), Missouri (33), and Drake (41). Last year's final RPI in parentheses. I don't follow other teams really, so I don't know who picked up what/lost what, but if the teams are similar to last years teams, should be some close matches outside of the contests vs Creighton.

Missouri will be the biggest test. I'm not too sold on Drake (Given what they lost, but we love an old MVC friend) |

I'm not too sold on Drake (Given what they lost, but we love an old MVC friend) The promotion for the Creighton vs Drake match is "Rally in the Valley (throwback)" per the schedule page. Apparently raffles for retro MVC Volleyball jerseys. I just hope to make at least the end of one of the non-Creighton matches. It will depend on wife/kids. Friday is difficult because kids are in school. |

St. John’s plays three cupcakes to open the season but knowing the Johnnie’s they’ll find a way to go 5 with Niagara or something.

Xavier losing to App St, GT swept by American isnt a great start.
St Johns took care of business (Although Niagara played b2b which is bizarre??)

Xavier going 0-2 to App State/Ohio is not ideal.
At least Uconn won a game lol
