Nice rebound from last weekend's disaster. Nice confidence booster. Let's keep it up tomorrow!

On the other side of the bracket, after being down 2 sets, 7-seed Southern Miss upsets 2-seed WKU in 5.

RE: CUSA Volleyball Tournament
Looking good for us at this point, especially with FAU and WKU eliminated. We simply have to keep the focus and energy (which has been an issue at times this year). Let's get it done, ladies!

RE: CUSA Volleyball Tournament
The bad thing though (and FIU is looking like they'll upset UTSA so that will mean the 2, 3 and 4 seeds are all gone if that happens) is from an RPI standpoint, we're not helping ourselves with any more wins. So I do think it's looking like NCAA if you win the tournament, and NIT if you don't.

Yup, but we should win it. We just need to go out and do it.

RE: CUSA Volleyball Tournament
It makes no sense to play the tournament at Marshall. The tournament should be at the school that wins the conference.

Or at least a school that is IN the tournament?

Rice had a big lead in the 3rd but North Texas keeps chipping away. Rice up 14-10.

RE: CUSA Volleyball Tournament
Announcer just mentioned a surprising factoid... That Rice is sub 500 in conference USA volleyball tournament play. Hopefully, we win the next 2 and move over .500
