It was a great day of volleyball at Maturi Pavilion on the University of Minnesota campus as Nebraska took on Kentucky and Minnesota fought Oregon for the right to continue on to the Final Four.
The crowd was pretty good for the Nebraska - Kentucky game. There were a fair amount of Nebraska fans, and the Kentucky fans I spoke with were happy to be in Minnesota, although a few said they wished they’d made the trip in June or July.
Nebraska took care of business in relatively short fashion, sweeping Kentucky in three sets. It looked like the Wildcats might win the third set, but our beloved Huskers caught them in the end with the help of a timely challenge from head coach John Cook.
