Teams to Watch in the 2024 NCAA Volleyball Tournament

Pitt, Nebraska, Louisville, and Penn State are the four No. 1 seeds in this year's tournament. Pittsburgh just won its third consecutive ACC championship, while Nebraska and PSU each hold a share of the Big Ten title. Louisville has the worst record of the four at 25-5 but will certainly be motivated by the prospect of winning a title at home. All four of the No. 1 seeds advanced to regionals.

Within the 64-team field, two made their first-ever appearance—Chicago State and UTEP—though they were both knocked out in round 1.
