No. 1 Nebraska (23-0, 12-0 Big Ten) plays at No. 12 Oregon tonight at 9 p.m. CT on BTN, then walks into another sellout Sunday at No. 18 Washington. First serve in Seattle is 5:30 p.m. CT on FS1.
The Seattle sellout
Per the Seattle Times, Washington’s tickets for Sunday sold out Oct. 21. Resale get-in prices this week started around $123, with courtside listings above $2,000. When Nebraska visited Alaska Airlines Arena in 2024, the Huskies drew a school-record 9,768. A Washington Cornhuskers alumni group has about 230 fans traveling in scarlet for Sunday.
Why the road buildings fill
Nebraska’s notes say the Huskers have helped set school attendance records 18 times on the road in the last four years and average 8,195 fans away from home, a figure that would rank second nationally. At home they are on pace to lead the country in attendance for a 13th straight season at 10,875 through 13 matches.
What is still on the line
The Big Ten says Nebraska has an outside shot to clinch the regular-season title this weekend depending on its results and those involving Penn State, Wisconsin and Oregon. The Huskers hold a 54-match regular-season win streak and a 25-match road/neutral streak into Eugene. Paul Sunderland and Anna Connelly have the Oregon call. John Baylor and Lauren (Cook) West are on the Huskers Radio Network for both matches.
