LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Ore-gon, Texas and Michigan know itwill take a near-perfect effort toknock off top-seeded Penn Stateat this weekend’s NCAA volley-ball championships.

Still, no one is handing the Nit-tany Lions the title.

Michigan and Texas have lostmatches to Penn State this year,but all three challengers are con-fident they can not only play withthe talented Nittany Lions, but

have the ability to win it all.Third-seeded Texas (27-4) will

face unseeded Michigan (27-11)in Thursday night’s first semifi-nal, with No. 5 Oregon (29-4) fac-ing Penn State (33-2) in the other.Michigan and Oregon are makingtheir first Final Four appear-ances; Texas is making its fourthin five years.

Penn State doesn’t have manyflaws and is seeking its fifth na-tional title in six years. The Nit-

tany Lions have won 36 of 39 setssince losing to Nebraska on Oct.28.

The Nittany Lions bring sizeand a lot of movement, but theDucks counter with quicknessand improvisation. Oregon’s at-tack, directed by all-Pac 12 juniorsetter Lauren Plum, features mul-tiple offensive options similar tocalling an audible in football.

He worea note bearing the words “Vote Ray Guy” on top of his jer-sey patch commemorating the Hall of Fame during Sun-day’s game against Chicago.
