Volleyball notebook: Cook says Creighton will be best team Nebraska has played this season

When the Nebraska volleyball team plays Creighton on Thursday, coach John Cook says the Bluejays will be the best opponent Nebraska has played this season.

That gets your attention, considering the Huskers played Florida in the first match of the season in a rematch of the national championship from 2017, and Nebraska got beat. The Huskers also played Oregon, a top-20 team playing in the Pac-12 Conference.

But, Cook was ready to defend his statement about Creighton, which is ranked No. 14 in the AVCA poll, with a list of reasons why. It starts with Creighton having two good outside hitters in Jaali Winters and Taryn Kloth, which is something Nebraska doesn’t have right now.
