Volleyball to play Nebraska tonight

Members of the IU volleyball team celebrate after a point is scored during their game against Rutgers on Nov. 12 in University Gym.

The last time IU played Nebraska, the Hoosiers lost in three sets and weren’t competitive.

IU Coach Sherry Dunbar-Kruzan said she had a long talk with her team after the game about what their expectations should be for the rest of the season.

At 7 p.m. tonight in University Gym, IU (15-13, 6-10) will once again play Nebraska (20-7, 12-4), one of the best teams in the nation.

The Cornhuskers are No. 11 in the country and a traditional volleyball powerhouse.

To have a legitimate shot at the NCAA Tournament, the Hoosiers need to finish at about .500 in the Big Ten for a chance to earn an ?at-large bid.

The last time IU went to the NCAA Tournament in 2010, they finished 9-11 in the Big Ten. Right now, the Hoosiers’ record stands at 6-10 in the conference.

So with just four games remaining in the regular season, IU has to earn a few upset victories.

After IU plays Nebraska, it will play No. 10 Illinois on Saturday night. IU finishes the season against Minnesota and Michigan, both teams it has already beaten this year.

The video stream for ?tonight’s game is available on BTN Plus and the radio broadcast is available on iuhoosiers.com .
