Pitt hasn't seen a Defense anywhere near as good as ours all year. We're also 14-0 all time against them, and swept them last year with a team nowhere as good as this years squad.
Husker VB is Louisville bound! On to final 4!!!

- Start date
Trying to take that winning aura from the vb team to the men’s basketball program.
He has a very punchable face. Probably because he was a Badger.
We'll sweep Penn St Thursday. Their 2 losses were sweeps to Pitt and Wisconsin. The same team we swept 3 times this year. The game in Happy Valley was a fluke as we left our A game at home and played like total garbage and deserved to lose. Even though they are 33-2, not all 33-2 records are the same. Penn St isn't in our league and really not close, they aren't even in Wiscy's league either.

Before we lost to psu, I said Pitt and NU were the 2 best teams and then there was everyone else.
I still feel that way but we gotta bring our A game. There's no gimme at this point

You claimed Penn st “isn’t that good”. That’s a laughable remark. A team that “isn’t that good” playing in the big ten would have less that 15 wins.
They have no chance in hell Thursday. They are nowhere near as tough as Wisconsin. Had Wisconsin been in their bracket, Wiscy woulda bounced them. no if's and but's about it.
Age is definitely over but brain mass is well below average
It’s not charitable to generalize like that. Some of the most amazing Catholic priests I know are Jesuits.
Dammit. I thought I saw earlier that we played the early game. The later game potentially screws up my wife & I watching it with friends. We'll still watch at home, though.
I say he writes like an excited 7th grader looking for approval from the adults in the room.
You are clueless, but that is fine. They have the #1 player in last year’s class in Izzy. They also have the best player in the 25 class and the best class overall. So to say not in our league is idiotic
Congrats to the ladies on the final four berth! I do wish they were playing Penn State in the finals rather than the semis to assure one of them would win it all. I'll always root for Nebraska in football but in the case of volleyball it's difficult to root against a local (in my case) team.
I'm still upset at myself that I didn't realize they were in State College a few weeks ago. Missed an opportunity to see a high caliber matchup. Good luck to the ladies at any rate - always nice to get a shot to avenge a loss

Clueless not so much as our seniors minus Beason and Landfair were the 2021 number 1 ranked class coming out of HS headlined by the number 1 player in the country in Kennedi Orr.
2021 Class
Ally Batehorst Transferred to USC and she killed it there this year and woulda done really well in the rotation here this year had she stayed adding to the unlimited number of weapons we curretly have.
Riley Gray Retired
Lindsey Krause
Whitney Lauenstein Transferred to Texass
Lexi Rodriguez
Kennedi Orr
Penn St may have a couple of good players, but compared to ours their overall roster is a joke and even a joke compared to Wisconsin's roster. This is fact. Penn St is gonna get curb stomped Thursday. We have unbelievable depth on this roaster, which is pretty much plug and play without missing a beat boasting uber quality all the way through the roster. Which is something Penn St, nor Wisconsin has the luxury of having. Wiscy does have some good quality depth though, can't say the same about Penn St.
Who we have back next year
Bergen Reilly
Laney Chaboy
Andi Jackson
Rebekah Allick
Harper Murray
Olivia Mauch
Skyler Pierce
Seniors
Merritt Beason
Taylor Landfair
Lexi Rodriguez
Lindsey Krause
Leyla Blackwell
Kennedi Orr
We have more than enough returning to make a legit run at it again next year.
While Izzy was the number 1 overall, their number 1 ranked class isn't there yet, to be honest even with that class I don't see them winning a natty. It'll be awhile before they win one again. Their current coach is a FAR cry from Russ Rose and is nowhere near Cook's level and proboably never will be. Coaching matters.

and, just a side note.....chicoine and hudson are leaving purdue. rumors are chicoine is headed to Penn State. she is GOOD.
I bet Nebraska picks up another major transfer this year with 2 leaving. Wonder if Kennedy Martin from Florida would be interested? Just look at how well things worked out for Merritt. Plus I've heard Florida's coach is possibly retiring. Who knows
Pretty sure Landfair has one more year (thanks Covid!). And I have to admit, I don’t share your optimism, and I am an eternal optimist!
I think we absolutely can win it all this year. But not convinced that we will. I believe we should, but the last 2 games will not be easy. I hope I’m wrong. But this optimist doesn’t share in your optimism.
Edit: this article from August 2024 says she has 2 years of eligibility left.
Landfair
