I'm not worried either, meant to imply that her percentage is guaranteed to rise. Glad to have her back. Agree with anyone who says that Nikki/Tai/Kalei is a potent OH group. Magill is a one woman wrecking crew. Adolpho performed well tonight. Looking at the "RPI Futures" thread is kinda encouraging... Wahine can finish with 5 losses(2 in conference) and still have an RPI ranking of 22? Am I reading that right? 3 losses now, finish with 5 and be 22nd in RPI? I am not worried about hosting(although to achieve that would be AMAZING) so RPI #22 sounds pretty solid. Wonder what another loss or two would do to that number. You can count on the Strength of the Pac-12 in the RPI for that. The Big West will end up keeping Hawaii slightly down (though not as down as a couple years ago), but based on the projections of the final record of Hawaii's preseason opponents, there aren't too many RPI negatives (i.e. most teams are projected to finish around .600+). When it comes to rpi, the biggest factor is the opponents record (50%) and even if Hawaii were to take a loss or two more, while they would drop, it probably wouldn't be significant. They are also immensely helped having 3 Pac-12 teams on the schedule in the OPP-OPP record, which will factor in the great, near .900 OOC winning percentage of the entire Pac-12 conference, three times. If Hawaii doesn't lose ANY matches in conference, they would have an rpi very close to the top 16....but at that point the "quality wins" would come into play for seed talk. Thanks for the analysis/explanation. I understand the basics of RPI but am definitely not a numbers guy. Unfortunate that UH won't have any "quality wins" at selection time. Hoping they also don't have any "bad losses" over the conference season like that loss to UCDavis last year. Guess the question becomes: Can the Wahine beat a seeded team in the second round?

How come Manu didn't play Due to religious reasons, she does not play on Sundays. Shoji new this from day one and has accepted it.

Somebody help me with the music the UH band played.
In the youtube upload of the UH vs. USF match, at the 37:50 mark (USF 20 UH 23), there was a timeout. At that point, the UH band started playing something -- and it goes on for almost a whole minute. What were they playing?

Always played at the Hawaii high school football games as far back as I can remember in the 50's. Maybe someone else can add more history and facts to this song.

Hey, at the 53:45 mark, one of the USF girls is scolding/lecturing another teammate. It looks harsh. Anyone who reads lips can translate for me?
