‘Sea of blue’ awaits KU volleyball in Kansas City, but will Jayhawks make it there?

The red was overwhelming.

When walking onto the court two years ago at the Final Four in Omaha, Neb., Kansas outside hitter Madison Rigdon remembers being welcomed by 17,000 fans — most of them wearing Nebraska’s school colors.

“It’s definitely intimidating, looking at it and being like, ‘Whoa, we have all the pressure,’ ” Rigdon said. “ ‘Everyone’s rooting for them.’ ”

Turnabout could be coming for Rigdon and her teammates this season … if the Jayhawks are able to advance far enough.

KU, ranked eighth in the AVCA preseason poll, has an additional reward if it makes the Final Four this year.
