The Nebraska volleyball team could have probably received better news than it got on Sunday when it learned what its path will be if the Huskers are going to reach a fourth consecutive NCAA Final Four. But Nebraska’s No. 7 overall seed in the tournament is about what it could have excepted after losing six matches this season.
Nebraska (24-6) will get to host the first round of the tournament on Friday and will play Hofstra (25-7) in the first round. The other first round match in Lincoln is Arizona vs. Missouri.
If the higher-seeded teams in the bracket win in the first two rounds Nebraska would face a challenging second weekend of the tournament, having to win a regional played at Minnesota.
