NCAA volleyball tournament schedule: Full TV channels, live streams, scores to watch every 2024 college match | Sporting News
March Madness? No, it’s something better. The NCAA volleyball tournament is here, bringing big swings and big rings as 64 teams play for a chance at the national title.
After a near-perfect season, Pitt earned the No. 1 overall seed entering the postseason. The Panthers have looked unstoppable all season, powered by ACC Player of the Year Olivia Babcock. But claiming the program’s first championship will be anything but simple.
Nebraska returns as a top contender after falling short in last year’s finals. The Huskers are better than before, powered by their star sophomores. Still, it’s not a question of if a team can get it done, it’s a question of if anyone can stop Texas. The Longhorns are going for a three-peat in Madi Skinner’s final year. While a 3-seed in the tournament, everyone knows don’t mess with Texas.
Penn State and Louisville round out the No. 1 seeds as favorites to make a Run for the Roses. Who will make it to Louisville and compete in this year’s Final Four?
