Playing last regular season match against Auburn today at 4 at Newell-Grissom.
Florida and Kentucky play today and tomorrow. If State beats Auburn and Florida wins 1 of 2 against Kentucky (extremely likely), Mississippi State is the SEC Champions in what is historically our worst sport. MSU Volleyball is the only program in any sport at any SEC school that has never been to the NCAA postseason. That changes on Monday. But the girls have a chance to win a title today.
Don't know anything about volleyball? Who cares. Show up in maroon and be loud. Here's a quick primer.
1. The goal is for the ball to touch the ground on your opponents side of the court in bounds or have your opponent hit it out of bounds.
2. You need to do this 25 times to win a set. You need to win three sets to win a match. If a fifth set is played, they go to 15.
3. Don't touch the net or touch the ball four times on one turn.
There is obviously a lot more to the game, but that's what you need to know if you just want to cheer for these girls today.
