#9 Creighton at #4 Louisville at noon today on ESPN. Great national exposure after a competitive loss at Nebraska.

Tough to drop two fifth set games in a row, but against two top ten teams on the road that's a fair showing.

Creighton beat two top 10 teams over the weekend, including a sweep over #6 Purdue, to win the Jayhawk Classic. Huge wins!

We traveled to Lawrence for those two matches. For the Purdue match, it was pretty cool to see so many Creighton fans and students. Creighton students came on a large bus. CU has three starters from Kansas, so there were also quite a few relatives and former club and high school teammates there to watch them.

This week's rankings came out and Creighton is now ranked 6th, which is the highest in program history after being ranked 7th several years ago.

Big win for Creighton today as they played well and beat Big East rival Marquette in a match televised nationally on Fox Sports this afternoon. This is CU's second win against Marquette this season and gives the Jays at 2-game lead with only a few matches left to play.

Side Note: We'll never see another player like setter Kendra Wait again.

Great photos as always, Brad!

Jays get the 2-seed, best in school history, and home court for the first two games of the tourney.

We were at the Big East Tournament, and looking forward to the NCAA tourney beginning Thursday at 7. It's the last run for Kendra Wait and Norah Sis.

We have two extra tickets for the NCAA tourney matches on Thursday and Friday in case anyone is interested. Very good seats on the 2nd row.

I know they have advanced further, but is today the biggest game in CU volleyball history? There are watch parties all over town and I have been in several CU volleyball discussions in the last 24 hours....

First game didn't go so well; they let Texas walk right back in the door. Hopefully they can maintain their lead in the second set and tie things back up. Huge test this afternoon.

Thanks for mentioning this. I don’t watch a lot of volleyball, but I just turned it on and Creighton won the second set and they’re off to a good start in the third

Well it was Texas and everyone in Nebraska seems to hate Texas. That and Texas won it the past two years.

Yeah. Honestly with how they lost set 1, it was more impressive to win how they did today instead of just sweeping. And high profile on ESPN2 against the 2 time defending champs.

What a great match by Creighton tonight vs penn st. Ended up losing in 5 but they looked good all night except the last game.

Congrats on reaching the elite 8 though.

Yep, great effort by the team. That last set was a rough one.

Though, like Rob Anderson posted last night, the VB squad lost three games all season. Each of those losses went to five sets and each to a team currently in the final four. Any suggestion that they were a Cinderella team is laughable.
