May be. Because the volleyball facilities are good; Volleyball and women's hoops were the primary reasons for the practice facility.

MBB was the primary reason for the Hertz Center. WBB and VB benefitted from it.

Tulane’s facilities are good for the VB program but until they get a Teraflex floor they are behind several schools in the conference as far as gym. It’s by far the best floor for VB.
But the main 3 reasons these top players are now going to Tulane is because of Coach Barnes, winning, program and academics. Lamar became the conference power under Barnes. Baylor went from the bottom to a national power and now Tulane has quickly moved to the top of the AAC pack and is primed to take over.

Agreed.
The talent level for the VB team has shot up each year and it’s because of a perfect matchup of academics and Barnes. He has won every where he goes.
They almost won the AAC this past crazy year. I see them getting to the top over UCF this year.

This 2021 schedule looks great with 16 home matches but I’m confused on a couple of things. https://bit.ly/2SYVR4O
Where is LSU and Miss State that was talked about being on the schedule and more importantly where is the conference tournament. Am I missing something. Don’t all the team sports at Tulane have a conference tournament?

This is a very good schedule but I’m wondering the same thing about the conference tournament. Why is it out?
Looking forward to watching on ESPN the home matches against Texas Tech and Cal. Was wanting to see the rematch vs LSU. Tulane beat them badly in Baton Rouge. But for some reason LSU isn’t on the home schedule. I read a tweet from Coach Barnes that LSU was on the schedule so not sure why it isn’t.

This was the official announcement on the transfer coming in this season.
More firepower for the Wave!

I’m in Orlando coaching at the AAU volleyball championships. I watched Tulane’s 2022 recruit Nia Washington and her NOLA team win the 17’s division championship. She was the mvp.
She is a special player. Not sure a Louisiana team has ever won this.

Got to see Nia's two sisters p[ay in the state softball championship game today. Both are very good athletes themselves.

Just saw on ESPN + that the VB Olive and Blue scrimmage will air live. That’s got to be a first.
Lots of excitement over this team. I haven’t read much about the team but have heard the team looks great.
Love watching the scrimmage and get a chance to see all the players and newcomers.

I believe Wattle Daub (WD Nation) Volleyball has won as well (2018 17s Open National Champs and 2020 18s Premier National Champs). It's a northshore club run by John Paul II (Slidell) head coach Danny Tullis. I believe Amanda Giardina (TU '20) played for this club a few years back. So the NOLA region has had some good VB results at the AAU Nationals.

Looks like the scrimmage is at 5pm. Open to the public.
Pre-season poll should be coming out soon as well. I would think Tulane would be picked 3rd behind UCF and Houston. But they are more than capable of winning the AAC if they stay healthy.
He's going into year 6. Time to make the tournament.

That’s interesting. I would argue going to the national championship of the NIT is more of an accomplishment than making the ncaa and getting knocked out in the first round. Last 3 years they’ve made the NIT postseason but have very close on the NCAA.
Looking over the 41 years of the NCAA in volleyball Tulane has made the ncaa tourney a grand total of 2 times. .
That’s 1 in 20 years average.
With the talent on this team now and what’s coming in in 2022 I can see this program going on a big NCAA run.
Like the rest of our sports using past history is low bar syndrome. He was hired to do better than that. It is year 6. Like WF it's time to break through. Hope he does it.

Just watched the scrimmage on ESPN replay. So impressed by the newcomers. Bumpers led all players in kills and looked amazing. Urquhart playa the game with such command. She is special. Harvey the setter is really aggressive and can hit as a setter. She has a bright future. And really likes the senior transfer Williams who had a bunch of big kills to. The offense is already way better.
So impressed!

Pre-season poll has Tulane at #4.
I thought the poll would have had Tulane at #3. After watching the scrimmage I think Tulane is top 2.

I was a little bummed we weren’t picked to finish even in the top 3 of the conference. Looks the the conference is top heavy with a clear line between the good teams and the below average teams. Fingers crossed we break through, but I agree it’s been a bit like Fritz tenure- now or never
