## Resource

In this episode of Volley Talk, we discuss Week 2 of the Men's VNL. A couple of teams are looking better and better as the tournament goes on and a couple are on a serious decline. The men's competition is always so tight and several matches this week were incredibly exciting. Heading into Week 3, we try to predict who will make the cut for the Final 8, and what the semifinals may look like.
