VB - The Top Teams Remaining Matches

[vantheman1976]

Heading down the home stretch....3 more weeks before tournament selection. Each team has 6 matches remaining in the regular season......but these are the top matches left for #1 Pitt, #2 Nebraska, #3 Louisville, and #4 Penn State. The only head to head matches are Pitt at Louisville and Nebraska at Penn State. Creighton (#5) is breathing down Penn State's back and probably won't lose again. One loss by Penn State will likely kick them out of the top 4. Home matches are in bold.

• #3 Louisville at Louisville on 11/27

Great info -- thanks for posting. I guess (?) Nebraska has the overall toughest finish based on rankings. However, we play Louisville, and we all know what that means. And if memory serves, GT always gives us a battle, so some work to do to grab a top 4 seed. It all begins by taking care of business this weekend in Florida.

Not too concerned about Fla St and Ga Tech, if Pitt plays with focus. Pitt at Louisville will be a brawl.

Kind of wild that Pitt has had this kind of season, could drop a tough road game at Louisville (because they usually split) and not win the ACC.

Was thinking the same thing recently. On the one hand, would love to see Louisville drop one somewhere so Pitt is still guaranteed a share of the conference title, even if they lose that game. On the other hand, a high pressure, winner-take-all game in a tough environment is exactly what this team will eventually need to win to achieve their goals. Might as well start that in two weeks!
