I was really worried after the first set. Pitt was on fire. All Big 10 final. As we have seen, Wisconsin will be really tough to beat.

Should be a very tough match tonight. Looking forward to seeing how our freshman do against Wisconsin. Their front line is so tall.

I watched the first 3 sets and Nebraska had match point a couple times in that second match but service errors hurt them.

Wisconsin star player is 6’8” and they had an outstanding freshman who is 6’9”
We are the people our parents warned us about.

I was going to try and watch the game last night, but I couldn't because I have YouTube TV and the Disney channels including ABC and ESPN were dropped from their lineup. But I guess in a way, I'm kind of glad I didn't.

Anyway, the Disney channels are now back on YouTube TV.

Would have liked to have one but I will say it was one of or the highest level college volleyball games I have ever seen. Just incredible level of play sustained over several hours.

Understand what you are saying but from what I read it was more that they got pulled by Disney and not dropped.

It was the same battle that the channels go through with cable and satellite providers. Their agreement expired and they were fighting over costs. YouTube and others, as they grow are now facing what the cable providers have for years, higher costs. You are correct, DIsney pulled them.

I have been with Dish Network since 1999. They have had their share of channels pulled.
