The NCAA women's volleyball semifinals are here. And the buzz? It's all about Texas A&M.
AGGIES' UNLIKELY RUN
Texas A&M just pulled off what might be the biggest upset in NCAA volleyball history. Taking down Nebraska, the No. 1 seed, on their home court? Straight up legendary. Coach Jamie Morrison built this squad for moments like these. Two five-set battles later, and the Aggies are in their first national semis. Morrison was spot on: "Watch out world, A&M is on a mission."
PITTSBURGH'S MOMENT?
Then there's Pittsburgh. Five straight semifinal appearances. Zero titles. This time, the Panthers are hoping to rewrite that script. Olivia Babcock, the reigning National Player of the Year, is leading the charge. You could feel it coming. The question? Can they finally break through?
KENTUCKY VS. WISCONSIN: THE SLUGFEST
Oh, and don't sleep on the other semifinal. Kentucky and Wisconsin are set for a showdown that promises to be a heavyweight clash. Craig Skinner and Kelly Sheffield aren't just coaches—they're lifelong friends. But when the whistle blows, it’s all business. Kentucky might be the frontrunner, but never count out the Badgers.
NEBRASKA'S ABSENCE
Without Nebraska's red wave of fans, the final four vibe shifts. But make no mistake, the intensity won't drop. As Michael Voepel notes, "It will be more like a neutral environment." All four teams bring their own followings, but the Huskers' absence changes the atmosphere.
Mary Wise called A&M's win in Lincoln "the biggest road win in NCAA tournament history." She's not wrong. But this Cinderella story? It's not finished yet.
And from here… anything can happen.
