Nebraska Huskers have been playing quite well since the commencement of the NCAA Volleyball Tournament this season. However, the main aim of the team has yet to be accomplished. Despite winning the last Big Ten Volleyball Championship 2023 title, Nebraska Huskers were left defeated by arch-rivals, Wisconsin Badgers in the concluding showdown.
Therefore, Nebraska Huskers are seeking redemption in the NCAA Volleyball tournament. Certainly, the NCAA differs from the Big 10, and Huskers would get only one chance to beat the Wisconsin Badgers. In the semifinal match against Pittsburgh, Nebraska displayed their dominance by securing a berth at the NCAA finals with a clean sweep 3-0.
