NEW YORK (July 20, 2021) – The BIG EAST Conference has announced an agreement with leading sports streaming service FloSports to become the home of the BIG EAST Digital Network (BEDN) presented by SoFi for the 2021-22 academic year. FloSports served as the digital home of BIG EAST women’s basketball in 2020-21 and will now expand its BEDN lineup to include more than 500 Olympic sports events, as well as BIG EAST original content such as “Shootaround” and “Fast Break,” the Conference’s weekly men’s and women’s basketball feature shows. FloSports offers both monthly and annual subscriptions and as part of the expanded agreement, BIG EAST member institution student and faculty discounts will be made available.

Over 430 teams will be in attendance this weekend at the Nike Boston Volleyball Festival.

It’s been a big week for Gabi Garcia Fernandez. The Mountain Pacific Sports Federation named BYU’s senior opposite its conference player of the year for the second consecutive season last Wednesday. On Friday, he put down a team-high 12 kills in the Cougars’ MPSF tournament semifinal win over Grand Canyon, hitting .417 clip and adding four aces and four blocks.

A number of these players are set to face-off at the 2021 MPSF Men's Volleyball Championships and even if they walk away empty handed, they will still come out of the season with some hardware.

Starting Thursday, the seven men’s volleyball teams in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation will kick off the 2021 MPSF Championship Tournament in Provo, Utah. No. 1 seed and host BYU welcomes the event to the Smith Fieldhouse for the fifth time in the last eight years and the eighth time overall.

The point of this article is to set up the best matchups of the upcoming 2021 MPSF Men's Volleyball Championships and provide predictions, but here’s the truth: every match in the tournament should be a good one. 

The lineups of the seven teams in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation are absolutely dripping with talent. Four MPSF-ers have earned national player of the week honors from the AVCA so far this season, and the reigning national player of the year also calls the conference home. 

The 2021 MPSF Men's Volleyball Championship is set to get underway on Thursday, April 22 with the quarterfinal round and conclude on Saturday, April, 24 with the champion being crowned.
