IMO Franciskovic should make all mpsf 3rd team at least( do they have that?), but he probably won't. Stat wise, they would make MPSF team. He's 2nd in MPSF in assists behind Matt West and has UH hitting at .314%, 3rd in the conference.

Holt has been a pleasant surprise these past few games. Not making silly errors. Taking much better swings. Blocking has even improved.
Very glad that Kanetake is back and looks mobile. IMO, he is the unsung hero. We definitely need him to make a deep run in the post season.

I can't watch the match, but I don't know how hitting .500 is struggling. Is his passing bad? Was at the game and Fey was not struggling at all. If anything his serve-receive was steady all night and granted he is not one of the top options offensively, but he held his own from what I witnessed.

If the MPSF only gets one team into the NCAA's that would be a tremendous tragedy. And the possibility could reign true if they decide based on the committee criteria. no that won't happen. there are 6 teams in the tournament ... 4 automatic bids from each conference, and 2 at-large bids. it's the MPSF and MIVA teams who are bunched up at the top of the RPI right now (loyola, lewis, uci and hawaii). so MPSF should get at least 2 bids, the auto-bid and an at large. the other at-large will likely go to lewis or loyola, whichever of them does not earn the auto. ohio st is also a MIVA team and is #5 in the RPI right now, but i don't see the committee giving both at-larges to the MIVA. in any case, hawaii and uci both beat ohio st early in the season, so i would think hawaii and uci would be selected over ohio st for an at-large, based on head-to-head alone.

Hawaii was in full control from start to finish. Bruins got spanked tonight and you could see Speraw's frustration and revamped his line-up after the 1st set debacle. Passing, setting was an issue all night and blocking was non-existent don't, think they had a block all night, or if they did, then I was too busy on Social Media.. UCLA could not terminate the ball and poor JT Hatch, I believe he got blocked like 3 straight in the 1st set. Arnitz & Stahl is no doubt their most talented offensive players along with Hatch, but even they both struggled tonight. Hatch just couldn't get the ball down with Hawaii's front line.

Tayverill, Nearly 3 kills per set as a middle, hitting over .500 he keeps that up I don't see how he doesn't get MPSF POY. Although Kalmbach has great stats too.

Lewis and Loyola are in the same conference? And the four conferences are MPSF, Penn State's conference, Loyola's conference and the other?

You would hope that doesn't happen. Just so wary of the NCAA as they always find a way to screw Hawaii over. They do it often for our other sports. And let me be clear: if Hawaii makes it far in the MPSF tourney but doesn't win the championship.

That's what I'm sayin'.... being disappointed and thinking the committee is out to screw hawaii ... well those are really 2 different things. the travel restrictions that the ncaa has imposed, essentially since 9/11 occurred, have been the biggest reason why hawaii has been sent on the road, even when they've been seeded during that time. we'll just have to agree to disagree ... and yup, i'm well aware that i'm probably in the minority among hawaii fans ... haha
