Texas A&M and Louisville open their 2025 seasons Friday night at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, a heavyweight neutral-site clash that sets the tone for both programs from the very first whistle.
There's no easing into the year here. Two programs with serious ambitions meet in an NBA arena with the lights bright and the margins thin. Season openers are equal parts adrenaline and unknown — new rotations, new chemistry, new pressure — and the team that settles fastest earns the edge.
Fiserv Forum gives this one a big-stage feel, and both squads get an early test of who they are when the scoreboard turns on. If you love college volleyball, this is appointment viewing — two rosters hungry to make a statement before September even arrives.
