Someone else with a big game?

For the past month the football team has been able to say they were playing in the biggest game on campus.  Not that the Hawaii game isn't big, but this week that honor goes to the volleyball team as they enter post season play.  Sunday night they were selected and given an at large bid to the NCAA Tournament.  After winning 25 games and a share of the Big East title they were waiting on pins and needles during the selection show because they lost in the opening round of the conference tournament.  But, the committee saw two months of perfect play by the Bearcats, not one bad day.

 

The first round game comes against Western Kentucky Friday afternoon at 5:00, a team UC beat in four sets on the road back in October.   The first round games are being played in Champaign, Il.  A win Friday would likely have the Bearcats facing the #9 seeded Fighting Illini in the second round.
