Lexi Rodriguez has been absolutely unreal, my goodness what a defender!!!!

No wonder Lexi Sun transferred. The Texas environment looks incredibly hostile.

the texas crowd was so disrespectful! booing Nebraska during warm ups and the team dynamic is terrible. i’m glad Nebraska won! they are a solid team with respectful fans. Fans that actually appreciate their efforts and support the sport in general not just their team.

I dont think anyone realizes how young Nebraska is and how scary this team will be next year!

Wow, what a game. Congrats to Nebraska, you guys really stepped it up in this match. Your back court defense is RIDICULOUS. It was so entertaining to watch your libero and DS' at work. I was rooting for Texas and they could NOT get a good pass. That destroyed them. It's a shame because I really wanted them to go all the way, especially after last year's loss to Kentucky. Logan, you really did your best!! You should be proud.

WARS WERE FOUGHT FOR THIS MOMENT. pure serotonin, god i can’t stop shaking. i love this team.

The only player I can stand on Texas’ team is Parra. Everyone else comes off so cocky it’s ridiculous. The team chemistry doesn’t appear to be very good either.

[colewindhorst]

Could not be happier for Nebraska and their younger players! Was cheering you on the whole time as a die hard Wisconsin fan!

[jacobvommaro]

So glad to see Texas fans and their entitled players silent... Nebraska really deserved that win. For Eggleston to stare down someone for blocking them ONCE when her team was down by 6 points AND a set really says something about a person.. nasty and unsportsmanlike.

Nebraska tightened up and got significantly better in the past few weeks. They were out of sorts in the beginning of the season but overjoyed to see them upset Texas. Must've been sweet for Lexi Sun who started her career here in Texas. Washington almost had them but recovered, Nebraska took notes and improved on that working formula that almost killed Texas. Congrats Nebraska! Tough games ahead though.

I don't normally root for Nebraska, but this was so clutch. Well played Huskers, from a Gophers fan.

[ncaavolleyballlover]

With all respect Texas lost this match because of the attitudes from the players, there's no chemistry compared to last year's team. And passing weakened when Obrien left. Big arms and good passing wins but also attitude and sportsmanship, and that is why Nebraska won along with their strong defense.

Texas beat Nebraska last year at home in Omaha during the NCAA Regional Final and Nebraska beat them this year in Austin

[constancebeckham]

Nebraska sat & watched how Washington displaced Texas & did the exact same thing except Nebraska can handle the pressure & Texas ran outta time to recover! Nebraska didn’t allow them to get in rhythm! Good job Cornhuskers I now see Louisville taking it all

[RatchetRalph]

The passing killed Texas it was horrible. Akana had Iosia’s number all night. Area 1 for passing & defense literally lost it for Texas. Nebraska scouted that really well. Texas was dead locked, no passing means they can't run anything. No adjustments from Elliott. Between the attitudes and non-production from the libero, It will forever be Texas legacy in the NCAA tourney. The serve receive curse in the tourney. Congrats Nebraska great defense tonight and the freshman’s went awf! Defense wins games end of story.

[kiaram]

Texas’ terrible passing once again killed them. It got a bit better with Parra but this is something they’ve needed to work on for years.

[christinadobz]

I’m speechless when it come to Lexi Rodriguez. Is she human?

[MegaLalaland]

Congratulations to both teams for the way they played and left everything out on that court both teams should be proud for the way they played.

[garymorris]

Very impressive to beat Texas 3-1, on the Longhorn's home court, and they almost swept them !

[ajollypanda]

Thats what playing in a tough conference does for you...nebraska went from 0 to 100 as the season went on....and texas, faulters in the tournament when they finally play teams that can challenge them; when they switch conferences they will do much better! I also wished lexi got to play at least near the end to get a little revenge for last tournament lol
