***2026 ISU Volleyball Thread***

Let’s hope the ladies show up and show out. Would hate to see another Hawaii after this magical season. With it being close, hopefully some Cyclone Power will show up in the crowd.
 
We play St. Thomas-Minnesota (21-9) in 1st Round at University of Minnesota. IF we win would play the winner of Minnesota-Fairfield .

If fortunate enough to get out of the 1st Weekend would likely play #1 Region seed Pittsburgh.
Is there a date and time yet, may try to make it to this match.
 
High and low flashback to playing in Mpls in 2011. The high was beating the Gophers in 4 sets with the 4th set being 31-29 after beating Milwaukee and Miami to advance. The low, turning around and losing to Florida State in 5 sets. So close to the Final Four. We were the higher seeded team and just didn't play well vs Florida State.

We definitely have the ability to win 2 matches this weekend. I will not doubt CJL, but will be interesting after a lackluster last week of the season.

Just bought tickets! Don't get Cyclone games in my backyard too often.
We moved to southern MN this Summer and just bought tickets to the Friday matches. If ISU advances to Saturday night, we’ll unfortunately be at a wedding reception in Des Moines. I’m hoping for strong ISU representation this weekend - let’s go State!
 
All B12 VB awards came out today:

RVG 1st team and Libero of the Year (both unanimous)
Brandt 1st team and Setter of the Year
T.Jackson 2nd team
Goolsby/Hanfelt All-Newcomer

CJL should be COY but didn't get it, went to ASU's coach
