Badgers volleyball: NCAA tournament a chance to cement program as elite

The Badgers 28-2 enter their NCAA tournament opener tonight ranked No. 2 in the AVCA coaches poll and seeded No. 4 overall, the highest in the program’s 17 NCAA appearances. That’s a big step up from a year ago when the Badgers entered the tournament under the radar as the No. 12 seed and went on a surprising run to the championship match, knocking off top-ranked Texas in the national semifinals.
