With just 8 matches left in the entire 2025 season, let’s take a very quick look at the Opening Round match of the 2025 NCAA National Collegiate Men’s Volleyball Tournament.
Apologies for not getting the full 9-team NCAA projection out before this match. It is coming though!

Non-conference
Penn State (75%) vs Daemen (25%)
The Daemen Wildcats will be hosting the EIVA Tournament Champions, the Penn State Nittany Lions. Penn State may be the favorite in the model, but this Daemen team is ready for any challenge. The winner will move on to the tournament’s host location of Columbus, Ohio. The match is already a sell-out but you can still watch the match on ESPN+! A very easy way of supporting Men’s Volleyball is to stream matches. These types of metrics matter and every little bit helps.
