NU came back from being down 0-2 to beat #7 Wisconsin.
In eight days they beat the previous week's #1, #2, and #5 teams.
This young team is coming together!

It is amazing how fast this young Husker team has come together and is not just getting by but dominating some top competition. Glad to see there is still one great coach in Lincoln.
For the record  NEBUGEATER does not equal BUGEATER    !!!!!!!

#7 Nebraska goes on the road to beat #10 MSU in 4.
Nebraska's is done with regular season big B1G matches and should have an easy rest of the season, tied for 1st place.

#16 Creighton beats Providence for their 6th straight victory, after their earlier road loss to 2nd place Marquette.
They remain 1st in the Big East. BTW... Creighton improved to 73-8 all-time in regular-season play in the Big East.

Creighton wins a thriller at Butler: 1-25, 38-36, 25-19, 25-27, 15-11
clinching a share of their 4th straight Big East title,
and has now won five conference titles in the last six seasons.
They have won 11 straight games and have two more road game left on the regular season.
Creighton's 124 points in the match are tied for sixth-most in NCAA history for a five-set match since the move to 25-point sets in 2008.

Volleyball Claims Outright BIG EAST Title With Win at Georgetown
The No. 13 Creighton Volleyball team earned its fourth straight outright BIG EAST regular-season title with a 3-2 win at Georgetown on Saturday night at McDonough Arena in Washington, D.C.

Creighton is the first team since Notre Dame to win four straight outright BIG EAST titles, with the Fighting Irish having done so from 1999-2002. It is CU's fifth league title in the last six seasons, when you factor in its 2012 Missouri Valley Conference title.

Stanford takes out Texas

And they play Florida on Sat evening at 8:00

The game last night against PSU was not give me and would never expect it to be. Watched to whole thing. Almost three hours of intense VB. I really thing the Huskers are in the heads of PUS with the seven straight wins. Not sure how else to explain some of the things that PSU inflected upon themselves.

I was a little worried after the third set, but going up 10-2 in the fourth it was Husker dominance!One for the Thumb.

Even when playing at their worst in the 3rd, they were still able to close the gap there at the end (despite some shitty calls by the refs). They carried themselves into the 4th with purpose and boom, never looked back. Fun to watch.

I watched the game at Burger King on 48th and Holdrege here in Lincoln. It was great to see Nebraska win. As I walked home, folks were setting off fireworks. No doubt they watched the game, too.

It's party time here in County #2!

From the OWH today.
The crowds at the Sprint Center became the two largest surpassing theCenturylink crowds from 2015.

The top five college VB crowds of all time and 9 of the top 11 all have come with the Huskers on the court.
