Nebraska volleyball will have home court advantage for the first two weekends of the NCAA Tournament.

The 29-2 Huskers are the No. 2 overall seed in the postseason. The top overall seed is Pitt, while Penn State (3) and Louisville (4) are the other 1-seeds in their regions.

Back-to-back Big Ten Conference champions, this year sharing with Penn State, the Huskers are back in the NCAA Tournament for the 43rd consecutive season.

Nebraska will open with Florida A&M (27-6) out of the SWAC. That match is slated for Friday at 7 p.m. CST at the Bob Devaney Sports Center and streaming on ESPN+. The winner of that match will face the winner of Miami (FL) and South Dakota State on Saturday at 7 p.m. CST.

If seeds hold, the regional semifinals would feature Nebraska, Wisconsin (2), Arizona State (3), and Baylor (4) in Lincoln the next weekend.

Should the Huskers make the National Semifinals in Louisville, Kentucky, they would face the winner of the Penn State regional. Other seeded teams in that portion of the bracket are Creighton (2), Texas (3), Utah (4), Marquette (5), USC (6), Florida State (7), and North Carolina (8).
