Of course, only four of those teams will make it to the semifinals in Louisville — and only one will receive the ultimate honor of national champions.

Volleyball fans still remember exactly what happened in last year’s title game. Texas defeated Nebraska with a resounding victory to claim its second consecutive national title. Can the Longhorns retain their crown and win two straight championships? Or will another strong team like Pittsburgh, Nebraska or Penn State take the field?

It’s everyone’s business. But first you have to find out who is allowed to dance. Here’s how to watch the NCAA Volleyball Tournament selection show, as well as an up-to-the-minute tracker for the 2024 round of the tournament.
