Creighton has great back line defense and good coaching, but the athleticism difference is so apparent between them and elite programs like USC and Neb. Creighton really is building a nice program though.

Nebraska defeats Washington and is coming to Omaha!

[Coyote]

Minnesota defeats Hawai'i (which just beat Defending National Champions Penn State)
Making half the Finals B1G teams!

[skinzfan23]

Should be some great crowds again.

[Coyote]

#3 Texas wins 17-15 in the 5th, so they will play #2 Minnesota in the Semis, so it's chalk so far in the Finals.

[Coyote]

Down goes USC, Down goes #1 USC!!!
Kansas wins the first 2 sets, USC the next two, and takes a 13-9 lead in the 5th, but loses 13-15!
|expletive| the West Coast, the MidWest (plus Texas) is the home NCAA Volleyball!!!

Nebraska vs Kansas... For the Finals.

[iamjacobm]

Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota and Texas are all pretty close regional teams. Going to be a hot ticket at CLC this weekend.

Heard on the Radio this AM that the court will have "OMAHA" on one or maybe both ends. This is like has been done for NCAA basketball but I guess it is the first time for NCAA Volleyball

When did they add the upper deck seats above the Bud Bar? Trying to remember if those seats were there last time we hosted the Final Four.

Those seats were added in 2006. They were there.

Those seats were added in 2006. They were there.

But since then they have figured out how to close off the south east tunnel for big Creighton games and also have added up to 6 temporary seating sections in the Bud Bar for some events. Since there is no beer sales, the might consider adding the 6 seating sections to the bud bar again.

They just announced that tonight's crowd broke the record for the largest crowd to watch a volleyball match. I didn't hear how many though.

So cool that it was Texas we swept. Lawlor's has some great National Championship sweatshirts in that are reasonably priced.

We bought our National Championship Tshirt from inside Centurylink Center right after the match. That wasn't a very smart decision because it cost $30 for one Tshirt.
