Per the bracket, looks like Hawaii earns a 3-0 win over Arizona. UCLA - Pepperdine up next to see who faces them later today.

So random question but, when there are 5 games going on how does a schools coaching staff make sure that each game has a coach for each game? Ex ucla has Metzger, and 2 asst coaches. But when all 5 games go on simultaneously (they are bound to overlap at some point) what do the coaches do? Just leave a couple games to the players?

UCLA takes 3 of the 5 first sets. UCLA's 2 and 3's lost the first sets, which has been their weakness this tournament.

UCLA - Pepperdine shaping up as a great match. UCLA wins 3 of the 5 1st sets, with I believe EVERY 1st set having only a 2 point victory margin.

Looks like court 5 will likely decide it.

UCLA up 7-4 on court 5.
Looks like UCLA will likely win on 1 and 4 with Pepperdine likely to win on 2 to add to their win on 3.

UCLA wins! 3-2.
Maybe Buechler isn't so bad after all.

Wow Pepperdine is eliminated.
Next up is USC vs Florida State followed by a rematch of Hawaii vs UCLA

UCLA's #2 and #3 seem to be streaky this tournament. The #2's were up 7-0 to start the first set, but couldn't hold on as they dropped the match in straight sets.
I did question Stein's choice in swapping Weaver with Buechler but I guess it has to do with adding a little more size to the court. I think it matched well with Pepp who has Cash, and I think it could potentially match well with USC too (if they were to ever meet) with Nightingale. Personally I would've used Weaver instead of Consani, who seems to have a better range of shots and hides her roll shots better but I guess since Buechler is probably only a left side player, Consani (the right side) would make sense.
Also, the #4 pair of Ngauamo/Muno is undefeated this year ever since Ngauamo came back from injury and replaced Buechler. I have to assume they are at least over 10 wins by now together

The only improvement about this whole thing would be a live scoreboard. I appreciate the live updates but it'd be nice to be able to see all of the scores at once. UCLA tweets shots of the scoreboard but they're not in real time.
