VBALL - NCAA Tournament Regional Finals Schedule

Seems like a tight TV schedule to get games finished in 2 hours if they go 5 sets.
If a match runs over 2 hours, the next game starts on ESPN News and is streamed on ESPN+. It switches to ESPNU once the previous match ends.

So much parity in volleyball. Like I dont follow the sport but I bet I could predict a high percentage of winners. No upsets in this sport.

The only way a match finishes in two hours is if it only goes three sets. The issue for ESPN is if they plan for longer matches and then they do end in three sets they have a lot of dead air to fill waiting for the next match to start. They have clearly decided they would rather have matches potentially running over each other rather than have to fill dead air.
