Pitt is a number one seed in the NCAA Volleyball tournament. So you know we had to bring on friend of the show & Pitt Volleyball legend Kayla Lund. We're talking about this year's team, the awards, and looking at the bracket ahead of them in the NCAA tournament. It's a packed episode that also talks about the reverse sweep of Louisville in the Pete, how she became a broadcaster, Taylor and Travis, and finally about her new pro team in the states, the Columbus Fury (and Joe Burrow's parents).
