The Big East elected to expand the volleyball conference tournament to six teams this year. Sure, why not. I have serious questions about why this was done, although I suspect it has a lot to do with “Marquette and Creighton are going to keep running away with the league, let’s give everyone else something to keep them interested in playing out the last few weeks of the season.”
While this may work on the back end of the six team field, the fact of the matter is, at least for this season, Marquette is on the verge of clinching a top six finish in the Big East with six matches left to go.
