Nugz gives you some Insight - 12.07.09

Gopher Volleyball is garnering the lead today as they have advanced to the NCAA Regionals.  This past weekend the Gopher women defeated Louisville and Tennessee.  Up next they are hosting the Regionals and will face Colorado State on Friday at 7 pm.  Kentucky and Florida State will face off in the early game.

Minnesota should be favored in the Colorado State game but Florida State is the #4 overall seed and therefor is the favorite to make the Final Four.
