Back when Marquette volleyball was scheduled to play at Wisconsin in Madison earlier this fall, MU head coach Ryan Theis mentioned to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he would like to see his Golden Eagles face Kelly Sheffield’s Badgers at Fiserv Forum. At the time, I thought it was just Theis doing a little PR out in the public eye, throwing out a trial balloon and so on.
About a week after that happened, #17 Creighton and #2 Nebraska broke the NCAA regular season attendance record for their match at CHI Health Center in Omaha, drawing 15,797 to the building that plays home to CU’s men’s basketball team.
