Just a reminder that coverage of tonight's match begins at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN2. First serve is scheduled for 8:07 p.m. ET. If you're not around a television, you can follow the match via live statistics (Gametracker). You can also listen for free to audio coverage from either Penn State or Texas. Links to all of those things can be found on NCAA.com's interactive bracket. I'll also have a post after each set right here on the blog.
Because there has been a lot of content posted on the blog of late, here are some of the essentials to get you ready for the match:
• Championship Comparison: Penn State vs. Texas
• The Match We All Wanted to See
• The Penn State-Texas Series
• The Penn State-Texas Series: Beyond Volleyball
• The Quest for Perfection
• History of Back-to-Back-to-Back Failures
Enjoy the match!

8 minutes until first serve
I am rather disappointed with ESPN2. They didn't cut into the match until halfway through set 1. It is a National Championship match, one that deserved full coverage. These are two great squads competing on the highest level possible with high stakes for both teams. These athletes deserve more than getting cut out by a regular season basketball game.
