PSU - MSU women's VB Regional Final Match Thread
- Thread starter ChiTownLion
- Start date
Looking at your title, I first thought that they were going to re-run the football game. My reaction was "no thanks". 
There's been some excellent Regional Final matches so far today.
#5 seed Nebraska defeated #4 seed Kentucky, @ Kentucky. They'll take on the winner of the PSU - MSU match in the NCAA Semis.
#10 seed USC is currently up 2 sets to 1 over #2 seed Florida, and it's tied up 15-15 in the 4th set. They are playing in Florida.

crap, the PSU match is starting, and the USC - Florida set is tied 21-21 in the 4th set. If it goes to a 5th set, it could be some time before ESPNU shows the PSU match.
Always impressed with the level of competition and pace of these games. Very watchable

Didn't realize Stanford's coach retired. Just when all those crazy recruits were about to blossom. Did they find his replacement from within?

PSU wins the match, 3-0, and advances to the Final Four. They will play Nebraska in the NCAA semis.
Penn State sweeps Michigan State 3-0! They win game 3 28-26 and it is off to the final 4 to play Nebraska.
Well I think Nebraska is probably thinking that PSU will be challenging. No doubt the ladies want a revenge win.
And Stanford sweeps Texas, 3-0, to advance.
So PSU will face Nebraska in 1 semi (at 7 or 9 pm EST on Thursday)
And Florida will face Stanford in the other semi (at 7 or 9 pm EST on Thursday)
So PSU will face Nebraska in 1 semi (at 7 or 9 pm EST on Thursday)
And Florida will face Stanford in the other semi (at 7 or 9 pm EST on Thursday)
PSU, Stanford and Neb = 19 titles, heaps of final fours and they are the three most winningest tourney teams. Florida is in their 8th FF, no title yet. Gators and Minnesota remain programs that just can’t win it all, Gophers have 5 FFs. Some day . . .
No doubt Stanford and PSU each want to get to their 8th title first.
Nebraska is tied with UCLA at 4 titles.
I did not know Neb is the only other team next to Stanford with 100+ tourney wins. If PSU wins out they will reach the 100 wins in tourney play.
Bottom line: PSU’s 4 consecutive titles (07-10), I think two of those seasons undefeated, remains the benchmark in tourney history thus far; and the sport.

that will definitely work for me, as I'm going to see The Last Jedi at 9.
The Last Jedi.....so you’re going to go see Russ Rose as soon as the match is over?
AWESOME!
