Nicely done, ladies. Smoked ‘em.
Beating Baylor in WVB gets rid of the bad taste from the MBB loss.

Great looking effort and skill in EVERY phase of the game tonight!
As I also mentioned in the OP (From http://static.cubuffs.com/custompages/volleyball/2017_Info_Guide/87_ncaa.pdf ), this will be the 1st time for Buff vball in the Sweet 16 since 1997, with the link I provided there also showing this as the 4th time overall. (This year and 1997 will be the only 2 times the Buffs have won 2 matches to reach the Sweet 16, as it looks like in the 2 earlier years (1993 and 1994) they made it, the Buffs had byes into the 2nd round, so only needed one win to get to the Sweet 16.)

Just get home safe, ladies.
Article on tonight's BIG win!
(Now includes Coach Mahoney's and player comments, so assume this may now be the final version.)

WACO, Texas – For the first time in two decades, the Buffs will dance past the first weekend of the NCAA Volleyball Tournament. The Buffs swept Baylor, 3-0, to win and advance in the 2017 version of The Dance.
The 25-12, 25-22, 25-20 win puts the Buffs in the program's fourth Sweet 16 and first since 1997. The Buffs also advanced in 1993 and '94. CU is now 24-9 on the season and Baylor, ranked No. 18 and seeded No. 12, end its season at 24-7.
WHAT HAPPENED: Colorado jumped out quick in the first set and rolled to a 25-12 win to take a quick 1-0 lead. The second set was much closer, and the Buffs used a late rally to win, 25-22. In the third set, the Buffs had a 4-0 run midway through the final set and maintained that lead throughout the end of the set, winning 25-20.
Brynna DeLuzio again paced the Buffs offense with 38 assists as three of the Buffs five starting hitters hit .300 or better in the match. As a team, the Buffs hit .320, the best percentage hit against Baylor all season, with 43 kills and just 11 errors on an even 100 attacks. Alexa Smith led the way offensively with 14 kills and hit .394. Frankie Shebby hit .308 with 11 kills and added 14 digs defensively. Naghede Abu had eight blocks to pace the Buffs defense and added seven kills. Joslyn Hayes had seven blocks and five kills and Anna Pfefferle had four kills and four blocks. Gabby Carta-Samuels added 13 digs from the libero position.
...
NOTES: The Buffs are now 23-10 against Baylor all-time, and now 2-0 since the Buffs left the Big 12 in 2011. CU is now 6-0 against former Big 12 teams since joining the Pac-12. The Buffs are now 13-18 all-time in the NCAA Tournament and 4-7 in the second round. This is the Buffs fourth Sweet 16 appearance and first in 20 years. The Buffs also got to the Sweet 16 in 1993, '94 and '97. The Buffs have never advanced past the Sweet 16. The Buffs earned the program's seventh sweep in NCAA Tournament action and second sweep in the second round, along with 1993. The win tonight was the program's first in a road match in NCAA Tournament action in 15 tries, improving to 1-14. CU is 6-3 in neutral court matches and 6-1 in home matches. The Buffs won their 24th match of the season, now alone for third-most in program history and most since 1993. The 1991 team was 25-10 and the '93 squad was 26-6. This is the Buffs sixth win over a ranked team, as Baylor was No. 18 in the AVCA poll. The six wins matches the school record, also set two seasons ago in 2015. The Buffs are now 12-4 in the last 16 matches since Oct. 13 and also won five of the last six dating back to Nov. 17. These are the first two NCAA wins for head coach Jesse Mahoney. He is now 2-2 in NCAA Tournament matches as he was 0-2 while coaching at Denver.
TEAM STATISTICS: Colorado hit a solid .320 with 43 kills and 11 errors on 100 attacks, the highest percentage against Baylor this season. The Buffs held the Bears to just .161 (38-20-112). CU out-blocked Baylor 13-4, including 7-2 in the third set, and had four aces to zero for Baylor.
NEXT UP: Colorado advances to the Sweet 16 and will face another old foe in No. 5 seed Nebraska in Lexington, Ky., next week. The Huskers beat Washington State 3-0 in the second round to advance. Host Kentucky, the No. 4 seed, will play No. 13 seed BYU in Lexington, as well.
QUOTES:
Head Coach Jesse Mahoney
On the big win…
"We're obviously very excited about the opportunity to move on. I thought we played with incredible energy, especially leading into the match. The first set, the way we came out, we were firing on all cylinders offensively and definitely ahead of the play defensively."
On Naghede Abu…
"Naghede will actually be disappointed that she was (named Most Outstanding Player in the tournament). She's never happy with how she played. She was walking off talking about how poorly she did, and that is what drives her. She is always trying to be the best she can be. She's an amazing competitor and I thought she established our middle attack and asserted her athleticism. She hit the ball high and hard, and defensively she can be such a wall out there. I'm proud of her, she had such a great match."
Junior Alexa Smith
On what it means to advance to the Sweet 16…
"Words can't really describe the excitement we have right now. It takes a special group of girls and I think you see that when we play and interact with each other. It's a special group that gets along as much as we do on the court and off the court and I think that's what has carried us through this entire tournament."
Freshman Brynna Deluzio
On coming to play Baylor in the NCAA Tournament…
"Baylor is a great team, and especially tonight, I think we did a great job of executing our serve and pass game. I think that really helped us stay composed and consistent throughout the match."

Luckily you have until next weekend to recover.
Looks like the Pac is ending up with five teams in the Sweet 16 (with Stanford, Utah, USC And UCLA joining the Buffs), while the rival Big 10 will have six (Penn State, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska and Illinois).
Bummer that sub-regional host Udub couldn't hold a 2-1 set lead and just lost to Illinois (who the Buffs beat in non-conference) to give the B10 the small advantage. (Of local interest- Illinois' Jordan Poulter, considered one of if not the best setters in the NCAA, is from Aurora CO.)
Note- Of course, all rankings and ratings get "thrown out the (proverbial) window" this time of year, but, based purely on seedings, Stanford is the only Pac team that will be favored to advance to the Elite 8, while 4 Big 10 teams will be favored to advance.
