Kansas State volleyball has officially survived and advanced. But now comes the part of the NCAA Tournament where everything gets tougher and far more intense.

The Wisconsin Badgers (6-2) have lost two of their last four as they host their in-state rivals, the Marquette Golden Eagles (5-4), at the Kohl Center on Saturday afternoon, looking to reverse last season’s road loss in Milwaukee.
