VBelo Daily: March 20, 2026
8 conferences in action today! This is what we have been anticipating all season.
Number of the Day
412 - As we enter the home stretch of the 2026 season, let’s talk about the Iron Arm himself, Johan Negron of Lincoln Memorial. Negron is the leader in NCAA men’s volleyball, in all divisions, for both matches and sets played. He has played in 412 sets and 136 matches so far. I’m impressed by whatever his recovery looks like to pull this off. Keep it up!
