    Dec 2 2024

    In this episode of Volley Talk, we do a deep dive into the battles for the ACC and Big 10 Championships. Pitt claims the ACC crown outright with a 3-1 win over Louisville, while Penn State stuns Nebraska in 4, handing the Huskers their first Big 10 loss of the season and forcing them to give up a share of the Big 10 Conference title.

    The NCAA Championship Bracket was released, and there are some TOUGH potential second-round matches. We take a peek at what the Regional match-ups could be, and if all holds true, it looks like it will be an ACC and Big 10 Final Four.
