Speaking of toilet seat. Yesterday morning the toilet seat was so cold that I forgot why I was sitting there. LOL! Too Funny, m Cold toilet seats will not be an issue for Hawaii fans going to the SSC. Just make sure your toilet seat is down before you sit down.

On paper USC should whip Hawai'i on their home floor, but with athleticism, Hawai'i has the edge. They are also playing in Hawai'i, I've beenthere and seen the roaring Wahine and it's amazing. They will cheer until the final ball dropping. I see this going to 5 and see the Wahine outlasting USC. If that happens then I see Hawai'i in the Final Four. USC needs to fire from all cylinders to win this match, if they can do that and be consistent as they've shown down the stretch of PAC-12 play then they will have the best shot of any team to beat Hawai'i at home. Good luck to both teams.

I really hope Hawaii wins. Until Fonoimoana officially joins the team, this is the best line-up they'll have.

i just can't picture hawaii ever getting another passing trio similar to danielson, otineru & ka'aihue (who i still believe didn't get enough credit for what she did for na wahine). Miss otineru. Beautiful girl and a great back row player. Not to mention the fire she brought to the court!

I hope it is a sold out crowd. I also hope it`s soooo loud that Mick Haley can`t give instructions. Hopefully it will rattle USC`s players and they won`t be able to communicate and stay focused. Wahine will be fired up and USC might be a bit nervous. GO BOWS!!!

Oh Aneli....why did you have to graduate? My favorite Wahine ever. Loved everything about her game, but particularly her attitude and court leadership. Hasn't been replaced yet.

USC will win because Hawaiian players and fans will be too distracted by KT, LOL

Too bad the match won't be televised, according to HNN. I hope ESPN's servers can handle the load from Hawaii.

I believe Hawaii will need to key on the Middles.....Haley will want SC to feed the ball to them every chance they get. Fuller creamed Hawaii last year and will get her sets so she has to be looked at. And well Jupiter is Jupiter. Just hopefully as a Hawaii fan, the one that can't hit the ball in the court to save her soul is the one that shows up that night. I hope they bring in the bigger lineup to start for Hawaii. Satele can bombs away but is a huge liability at the pins. Jupiter will hit right over her and Mita. I'm hoping for Hartong to get on the right to add that needed height. But it does leave UH with less offensive options in the middle. Hewitt when mita connects with her is effective.....and Adoloph has the "potential" to be a player that can get the ball down. Hartong for some reason is just able to get that ball through whenever called upon as an MH. Kanani will be Kanani....awesome as usual. And Croson will just need to play lights out to give Hawaii a chance. Reduce those errors Croson and you will be fine. Hawaii's fans need to make it as uncomfortable as possible for USC as I know they can. Get in their heads and make them even think a little bit of doubt....and Hawaii can pounce on that.
I'll actually be playing hookie at work just cause I can't miss this for the world. Whatever happens though.......these are some awesome teams playing. GO WAHINE. My head says USC in 3 but my heart says Hawaii in 5.

Must be officially sold out because I just now went online to get just one ticket for a family member....to sit anywhere and absolutely NOTHING was available. Lower bowl or upper bowl. Now they will probably have to go to a scapler on the day of.

I have a stupid question: If Hartong starts set 1 at M2, can she be taken out and subbed back in at RS or must she remain in the middle for the rest of the set?

She must remain lined up opposite Hewitt (in the middle). If she's M2 though, Shoji can have Adolpho come in for Satele, and move Hartong on the right for two rotations. He did that one time earlier, I think against Northern Colorado, but I'm not exactly sure.
