This is the time of the season when one team in the NCAA volleyball tournament will often be referred to as the defending champion. This year, that team is Nebraska.
But Nebraska coach John Cook doesn’t want the Huskers to look at it like that. He wants the team to be on the attack, and look at it like the Huskers have an opportunity to do something that no team in program history has by winning consecutive national championships.
The Huskers are the No. 1 seed and open the three-week tournament with a first-round match against New Hampshire on Friday at the Devaney Sports Center.
