I noticed in the replay that Ethan Siegfried, the Punahou grad who plays for LBSU, was singing along to "Hawai'i Pono'i."

So that's the national title game, right? The tournament is just an exhibition! BTW, "Match of the Century?" Now I know how to define "hyperbole" to somebody.

If someone just turns from the net and some part of his body or uni merely touches the net, I know it's a net violation. But should it be?
See: 1:26:48 -- 1:27:14
Hawaii makes an attack and Kyle Ensing, Nick Amado, and Ethan Siegfried go up for a triple block. The ball sails over the blockers who then turn around. The ball is still in play. In the process of turning around, some part of Ensing's back or love handle touches the net. Ref calls net violation.

It was dermatological though and the Ref might have let it go, but my recollection is Long Beach just the play prior had challenged that Hawai'i was in the net, even though they didn't see a player net, all they saw was the net slightly shaking at the end of the play. TJ was pointing at the shaking net and egging Knipe into calling a challenge. The replay showed clearly no net, and that the net was shaking slightly at the end of the play because the Hawai'i serve had grazed it going over. So, there was a little bit of karmic athletic/referee justice going on.

Hawaii does frequently get called for net violations, usually contacting the net on the landing. BTW, is it coincidence that Long Beach elected to replace Richards with Seigfried prior to the first match with Hawaii? Richards was their OH2 starter up to that point. We went into that first match at the Pyramid thinking Richards was going to start and surprise, they start Seigfried who happens to know how to play defense. Wiley and cunning that Long Beach team hiding Seigfried until that moment. Well no matter, we know how good he is now.

He had at least five attack errors and a service error. Siegfried came in for him in the 2nd set, got pistol hot, and that was it for Richards.

1 difference other than the crowd:Hawaii had pure emotion from start to finish of the game. They were jumping, yelling in the huddle, getting fired up, flexing and just getting amped. The previous week multiple people pointed out at how subdued, quiet, and meek Hawaii was playing at LBSU. So unlike them and their character. Only a few times where we seen them really get amped. Hawaii needs to play with emotion and lots and lots of it at the tournament. The crowd will be against them in both matches. Let all that emotion go and go get that natty! And Colton jumping around like a little kid (in a good way). When he got the kill to end set 2, he was jumping, skipping to the other side....then saw LB team crossing over and was like...oh %*$#! Thought it was funny, but glad he was enjoying the game.

Watched the replay for the third time and I have to say that LB plays some bad a$$ defense. Their off plays looks like in system plays, saves made with one hand almost goes straight to Tuiniga. Also, the Beach plays smart out of system. They don't just throw the ball up and just have someone hit it, its almost strategic the ball goes to TJ or Ensing. I can respect that from a team, never give up and always trying to make something out of nothing.

There were rallies it was so coordinated it looked choreographed. There's nothing accidental about how Long Beach plays defense. But, at times it looked like they were all simultaneously in the same UC zone. It was fun and miserable to watch all at the same time.

She seems happy, very friendly and chatty. I think she was having way too much fun 😉 😉
