Should be quite the match! Does anyone have an indication on how many people will be on hand?

I do not follow the volleyball scene, but how are you a seven seed when you are ranked fifth in the nation?

 

[tejasclone]

Any chance this match gets televised? I see TBA listed for the television; when will an announcement be made?

It's not like basketball - vball only seeds the top 16, and at the time we were right about 7th. Not saying there's not questionable seeding in this bracket *cough*FSU*cough*, but there you have it.

Any chance this match gets televised? I see TBA listed for the television; when will an announcement be made?

My guess is that if it's televised it would be on NET, Nebraska's PBS, but I don't see it on their schedule so who knows.

Florida State does have the #3 RPI. (Tx, PSU, Ill. Stanford #6)

But point well taken.

We're still number 7, btw. NU #10. So it's kinda holding up....

 

[NETransplant]

RPI, yeah. I'm just not really a big fan of its rankings when compared to the coaches'.

Alot it will be a very good and close match that will be very intense. If its not on anywhere then there might be even more people
