Huskers @ #2 Minnesota, #18 Michigan

[BigRedBuster]

Wow.... They fell apart in the forth after losing the third 28-26.

 

Might be good for the team to lose this one.

B1G Champs boys and girls

 

If Minnesota beats Wisconsin than I believe we out right win the Conference

[Landlord]

Congrats to the girls on being outright conference champs. That's probably a bigger accomplishment than winning the national championship honestly.

To win the national tournament you need to win what, 4-5 games, at least 1-2 of them against lowly seeded teams. To win our conference you need to win about 20 games, and it seems about half of them versus other top 10/top 5 teams that know exactly how you play.

 

The B1G is in a totally different stratosphere when it comes to volleyball.

Ya but you can still lose 2 maybe 3 games in the conference and still win the conference championship where else in the actual NCAA tournament it's one and done.

 

Besides winning the Natty is the most prized possession

[Mavric]

Yeah, I think "bigger" is probably not the right term. Winning a natty is as big as it gets.

 

You could make an argument for "tougher", though you do get more chances as Dewiz said.

[GBRFAN]

This is a great agruement because both sides have a valid point.

NCAA - zero room for error and the top prize

Big10 - longer road to victory and smaller prize.

 

Competion is about equal in both tournaments - I could easily see it go something like this:

R1 small conference (similar to worst teams in big10)

R2 mid level power 5 conference (similar to average big10 team)

R3 top 10 power 5 conf (similar to top 5 big10 team)

R4 Minnesota or Wisconsin

R5 Minnesota or Wisconsin
