The NCAA Volleyball tournament semifinals are nearly here!

The Final Four will be played at Target Center in downtown Minneapolis, Thursday December 13th and Saturday, December 15th.

It will be interesting to see how well-attended the matches are in Minneapolis.

Nebraska is closest (obvious?) and Husker fans travel well. Illinois isn’t that much further, then you have BYU and Stanford. Here’s distance and driving time according to Mapquest:

• Nebraska 6hr 26min - 433mi
• Illinois - 7hr 47min - 512mi
• BYU - 18hr 15min - 1,284mi
• Stanford - 29hr 7min - 2,074mi

We will have another game thread later for the actual match!
