Jeff doesn't love the possibility of a Louisville-Nebraska Elite 8 match-up, though...Nebraska would probably have a pretty good scout. 😏

Nebraska Earns the No. 1 Overall Seed in NCAA Tournament Nebraska finished Saturday night as the only undefeated team in the country with a 20-0 perfect record in the Big Ten, dropping only one set.  On Sunday, after

Nebraska earned the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament and will start their postseason journey at home.

“New record, clean slate, every team is a brand new team. It's a new journey from here on out, and we know that,” Andi Jackson said.

The winners will meet in the second round on Saturday, Dec. 6 at 7 p.m.

All the matches will be steamed on ESPN+

Nebraska will play Long Island University in the first round. The Sharks will return to Lincoln where they played in 2023.

Kansas State and No. 8 seed San Diego will play the other first round match in Lincoln.

Nebraska is the No. 1 overall seed.

Kentucky, Texas and Pitt are the other No. 1 seed and will host regionals.

I think the No. 1s will be Nebraska, Kentucky, Texas, Pitt.

My guess on visitors to Lincoln for the first weekend are Florida A&M, South Dakota State and Kansas State.

We are live now on ESPN for the NCAA Tournament selection show.

My bold prediction is Nebraska will be the No. 1 overall seed.
