I know the volleyball coverage around here has been slacking lately, but let’s not let that distract us from the fact that KU Volleyball has just advanced to its first Sweet 16 since the Final Four run of 2015.
In case you don’t remember, only the top 16 teams are seeded in the NCAA Women’s Volleyball tournament. They all host a quad, and the winners advance bracket-style. Creighton was seeded #14, and hosted Ole Miss, Oregon, and Kansas.
KU drew a pretty tough quad, as Oregon and Creighton finished the season ranked #19 and #20 respectively in the the AVCA top-25 rankings prior to the tournament.
