If we go ahead and beat USC today it just shows the level of play we have reached. Used to be UCLA and USC were so far ahead of us in VB it was like the dream team playing Uganda in basketball. I would love for this woman to get that title. It says only men coaches have won the NCAA VB titles. I just want her to cap her career with one.

Mary needs to have that championship. It is really the only thing missing from her great career.

Pac 12 use to be the volleyball conference. But, Minnesota is no slouch. They are #3, and have been very very good the last few years.

I didn't see any of the USC-Gophers game but if the Gators play like they did yesterday I like their chances. The defense was outstanding.

I was at the Social before the game and was watching the PennSt-Mizzou game; PennSt looked impressive from the little bit I saw.

The problem is this...........you live in Minnesota you got nowhere to play except inside for 5-6months...........so the VBplayers play. Here in fla not so much. But our golfers are better as they can play golf all year............but why is Calif. so good. They picked it up first (like the fast pitch softball) and found the beach was the place to play..........

I hadnt seen the USC vs Minnesota matchup results. I like our chances a lot vs USC....and at home.

Penn state is a volleyball powerhouse. They have won 6 championships since 2007.

Unbelievable win by these ladies! They looked off for a while, but the fight they showed was incredible! They should be very proud of themselves for this one.

You think volleyball players aren't recruited from all over the US?

Was watching men’s BB vs cincy. Who does VB play next? Agree it would be awesome for Coach Wise to win it all. Go Gators!!!

Looks like we'll be playing the winner of Stanford/Texas, which starts at 10 tonight. The other side of the Final 4 is Nebraska facing the winner of Penn St./Michigan St.

What a comeback!! They looked done after that third set. Carli was a non-factor until that fourth set. Amazing turn-around. Now on to face the Stanford-Texas winner.

Great match,
Gator VB beat USC 3-2 in sets going to semi finals. We play the winner of Texas vs Stanford. We have already beat 1 of the final four at the beginning of the season, Nebraska. Plus we beat Texas , which might be a final 4 team.

But the final 4 is a different season.

I was flipping back and forth between this match and basketball. It was a thoroughly nail biting experience, and I can’t believe they both came out with a W. So awesome!

Penn State made the semi finals, Only Texas and Stanford to decide the 4th team(our opponent).

Awesome! Mary Wise is one of the best VB coaches in college history. I want her to win one badly.

... and the worst fans in the world cheer fantastically. That excitement of significant winning. Surely, Gator fans can spice up their sports' rewards by these significant national tournament wins.? Especially when our multi-million dollar HC gives us BBQ sauce.

One of you VB-faithful should have the honors of starting the official game thread.
We play Stanford, Thursday, 12/14, 9:30 PM, ESPN or ESPN-watch.
Our VB team is 29-1 and 17-1 SEC. = 97.4% season winning percentage.
