Would've loved to have seen this. Where are you Pac 12 TV? Oh right covering a 5' 5" libero who can only bump the ball over on the sand court to get a "kill".  |

You past posting at a casino? Live Stats just registered Hawaii's comeback win. Down two sets, and way down the first two, that island magic helps Hawaii rally and win.

Tomorrow nights match should be on Ocean TV, or whatever Hawaii usually webcasts on. No show tonight.

BYU hits .259, Sander a .273 with 7 hitting errors and 16 kills.
Still not a bad night by the average OH numbers, he is human after all.
Hawaii hits a .226 clips for the match, but hit .421 when they needed it most in the 5th set while BYU hit .235 in the fifth.
Look for BYU to perhaps drop two on this road trip.
Get in Taylor's head, serve him tough, get a few blocks on him early, and he has shown he can be a head case.

Well since neither BYU nor Hawaii are in the PAC-12 it would be kinda odd for them to fly the crew out to shoot the matches . I've been at both sand matches they televised from USC. It was fun and exciting and most folks seemed to really enjoy the fastest growing sport in NCAA history. Holly, Barb, Stein, Misty, Jenny, John To name a few are there to support the growth. Why do you crap on the movement every time you can? |

Assuming you are talking about Hawaii and others trying to get into the MPSF tourney, Hawaii and UCLA, both at 12-9, are technically tied for 8th, and Hawaii would win tiebreaker (head to head). UCLA has @lbsu and hosting BYU and Cal Baptist left, whereas Hawaii has BYU and 2 @ Pepperdine, edge to UCLA, I think. USC is at Pepperdine for their last match, USC currently 14-9. A loss would leave USC at 14-10, and a tiebreaker over Hawaii. A three way tie with USC, UCLA, and Hawaii at 15-9 would create total chaos, since Pepperdine would also have 9 losses, probably Long Beach, and if Stanford beats Irvine, the Anteaters, too, creating a six way tie. Not going there right now. A three way tie at 14-10 SC, UCLA and Hawaii is more probable, and by my reading, UCLA would be 9th and out of the tourney (1-3 record v. others) leaving SC in 7th and Hawaii in 8th. Oh, and if Northridge beats UCSB tonight (think the Matadors got their upset fix with UCLA the other night) and then BYU beats the Gauchos you could add a 7th team. Yeah!!! I think UCSD fan is grinning right now. |

I followed the match via Gametracker. You know you're pretty pathetic when you're watching a computer screen at Midnight on a Friday night to see if your theory about a men's volleyball team (that you have no real connection to) is going to play out.
BYU broke out on fire, and dominated the first two sets 25-16, 25-19. Hawaii was making a lot of errors, and BYU was playing their steady game. BYU's numbers weren't flashy-- they trailed in blocks even after the first two sets, but they kept their errors down. In set three, Hawaii got out to a small lead, but BYU kept closing. With their backs to the wall, Hawaii kept plugging away and gutted out a 26-24 win. Whether it was part psychological or simply a matter of gaining confidence, the Rainbows cruised in set four, 25-18. You could sense their confidence rising at it went to a game 5, and the home team weathered a late BYU push to take the match 15-12 in the final set.
BYU has already captured the MPSF title, but their loss at #10 Hawaii gives them a 3-5 record on the road against teams in the rankings. They have another match in Hawaii tonight, and then they play at #5 UC Santa Barbara on Friday and at #9 UCLA to finish the season. I think they could still drop another one in those three matches, most probably at UCSB (10-2 at home).
To me, this loss really answers the question as to whether BYU is "a completely different team now" than they were at the beginning of the season. They may very well be a different team, but every team evolves over a season. The trap a lot of West Coast/MPSF fans fell into was dismissing the losses at Loyola and Lewis as outliers-- it was too early in the season, against insignificant foes, too cold outside, whatever-- coupled with downplaying BYU's enormous home court advantage (averaging 3500+ every match, once drawing 5200+). The fact is-- and the numbers support it-- BYU is fantastic at home but a paper cougar on the road.

Not surprised SOS never makes it's way into your analysis... It's puzzling why a fan of a #1 team has to feel some need to justify the ranking, week in and week out... Just let the talking be done in the finals... |
