Gophers hold off Colorado's comeback attempt tonight winning 3-2 (25-20, 25-18, 17-25, 21-25, 15-9).

5th straight trip to the Sweet 16 where they will play #7 Stanford in Lexington, KY on Friday and should be available on ESPN3. #2 Penn State will be there and the winner of #15 Kentucky/Michigan State tomorrow.

Purdue upset #4 and previously undefeated (35-0) Missouri in Columbia 3-1. 6 Big Ten teams in the Sweet 16, if Michigan State wins tomorrow it will be 7. Only one to lose so far is Michigan in first round last night vs. LSU.
