Nebraska volleyball (32-0) enters the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament after sweeping Kansas State last Saturday. The Huskers face the Kansas Jayhawks (24-10), who defeated Miami in four sets.
Nebraska’s offense ranks first nationally with a .353 hitting percentage. The defense is equally impressive, ranking first nationally in opponent hitting percentage, holding teams to a .124.
Kansas is in the Sweet 16 for the fourth time in school history and the first time since 2021. The Jayhawks stand at 24-10 in Matt Ulmer’s first year as head coach. Ulmer previously coached Oregon for eight seasons, compiling a 166-77 record.
Nebraska is 88-0-1 against Kansas all-time. The teams last met in December 2022, where the Huskers defeated the Jayhawks 3-1 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Nebraska also played Kansas in a spring scrimmage at the Devaney Center back in April.
The winner of the Sweet 16 gets to meet Texas A&M in the NCAA Regional Final on Sunday. The Aggies pulled off a miraculous reverse sweep over Louisville to reach the Elite Eight for the first time since 2001. The start time and TV network are to be determined.
