I'm well out of my depth, but what seems to be killing them are Creighton's front-line players on blocks. MU has tried repeatedly to put those spikes just over the net and Creighton repeatedly sends them right back into the floor. Feel like they either need to adjust their angles or try to attack deeper.

Creighton wins the third set 25-21, finishing on a 7-2 run after MU took the lead. Jays lead 2-1 going into the fourth set. Do or die time for MU.

Yup. Part of the problem is the passing fell apart and left the setter with 1 option so Creighton could just sit and wait on that hitter. MU is not very good at using the block to get kills off of while Creighton has been.

Missed the fourth set, but MU fell 25-21. Creighton wins their fifth straight Big East title. MU should still comfortably be in the tournament, though their odds of hosting the first two rounds probably took a hit.

Wow. Very nice. I’m surprised they got a seed with 3 losses to Creighton.

Doesn’t show on the bracket but if I remember correctly it should be similar to the men’s basketball tournament. Either Thursday/Saturday or Friday/Sunday. I could be wrong on that though.

I already have tickets for the Final Four. MU might as well just make a run all the way there and I can follow along.

After I posted I actually thought I did remember games being back to back nights in the past. Kind of odd but saves money and the game is not as taxing on someone as a basketball or football game is.

Marquette plays an crazy tough non-conference schedule. BYU, Wisconsin, Syracuse, Illinois State & USC were terms at the Al who are in the big dance.

That's fantastic.  I think that they absolutely deserve it, but I had my doubts that the committee would give it to them.  The VB committee often is not very friendly to mid-majors (which MU definitely is in VB).  This year, however, they showed a lot of love.

Here's hoping Marquette (and Creighton) can make it through the first weekend.  Go Warriors!

Any word on when tickets go on sale?  And if the Al will even be ready by then?  (I assume the answer to the second question is yes, as it looked like there was more damage to the car than the floor)

MU takes out High Point 3-0. Different atmosphere at the Al with the MU Dance Team in attendance. High Point brings their pep band and cheerleaders. Solid crowd at the Al.

Marquette will play Cincinnati on Saturday night at 7pm. Winner to the Sweet 16!

Tickets are $7

Was there. I don't know the first thing about volleyball but it was a lot of fun. Felt like complete domination from the word go.

That's a great achievement for Marquette.  Now, on to the second weekend.  It sure would be an awful lot of fun if they could knock off Illinois, and then beat the Badgers in both Volleyball and Basketball next Saturday.

Go Warriors!

I have the day off from work Friday and I'm thinking about heading down to Champaign for the match. Anyone interested in carpooling?

Unless you're willing to drive a good 6-8 hours out of your way (each way), I'm not a very good candidate.

Wish I could, but more importantly mad respect to your handle. RIP Mitch, the funniest person to ever walk the planet. At a game earlier this year the escalator stopped and both my sons (14 and 12) turned to me, smiled, and said sorry for the convenience. Proud dad moment. Cheers!

Women's team lost in 3 sets tonight.  Great season.
