Previewing Wisconsin volleyball's Final Four matchup vs. Kentucky
Let's break down the national semifinal matchup between the Badgers and Wildcats, with the help from the voice of Wisconsin volleyball.

It’s now the University of Wisconsin volleyball program’s turn to face a Kentucky team in a Final Four matchup.
Wisconsin (28-4) looks to dethrone yet another No. 1 seed, Kentucky (29-2), during one of the national semifinals of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday. The Wildcats, who won the SEC regular season and tournament championships, are riding a 26-game winning streak into Kansas City, Missouri, and boast a few All-Americans the Badgers will need to contain.
Whichever program comes out victorious will face the winner of the other national semifinal between Pittsburgh and Texas A&M on Sunday.
