Nebraska volleyball (21-7, 15-4) has earned the 10-seed in the NCAA Tournament and will be a host site for the first weekend.
The Huskers were given some love from the selection committee with their seed. Much of the decision making around the NCAA Tournament involves the RPI rankings, which had Nebraska slated at No. 13.
Nebraska will host Campbell Friday. The Camels won the Big South Conference and have an overall record of 21-9 on the season.
With a win, Nebraska would play the winner of Kansas State and Florida State Saturday.
Should the Huskers advance past this first week, other national seeds on their side of the bracket include No. 2 Texas, No. 7 Kentucky, and No. 15 Washington.
In the spring, the Longhorns eliminated the Huskers in four sets in the Regional Final.
The top four national seeds are No. 1 Louisville, No. 2 Texas, No. 3 Pittsburgh, and No. 4 Wisconsin.
The undefeated Cardinals are coached by former Husker Dani Busboom Kelly. It is the program’s first No. 1 national seed.
The Big Ten Conference landed eight teams in the tournament: No. 4 Wisconsin, No. 6 Purdue, No. 9 Ohio State, No. 10 Nebraska, No. 12 Minnesota, Michigan, Penn State, and Illinois.
