During a regular season game on April 1st, Texas State beat Baylor. Then in the tournament on April 15th Nebraska beat Texas State. Stands to reason then that tomorrow, April 18th, Nebraska will beat Baylor. That is how a math equation would go, but sports are more complicated than math, everybody knows that!!
The match between the Huskers and the Bears will be a clash of two of the great powerhouses of volleyball. Both teams have four all-regional players. Both teams have regularly been deep in the tournament before and won’t likely have nerves for long in the match. Both teams have older players on the court that won’t make “freshmen” mistakes. These factors lead to big time hits, even bigger blocks (it always comes back faster) and dazzling defense.
