And things continue to be very interesting in the MPSF! As usual MPSF schools beat the crap out of each other with anyone able to beat anyone on a given night......meanwhile the teams from the rest of the country, as mediocre as they are, just sit back and 2 of them get their usual annual "free ride" to the Final Four!

Agreed! Sticking to the thread, Hawaii will definitly need to sweep BYU, Pepperdine, and Long Beach to get a serious look for the AT-Large should they lose the MPSF Tournament (which I think they will). Things don't look good for UH right now.

What a challenge for UH..... a sweep of Pepp, BYU AND LB.....no team has swept 3 of the top 5 teams yet....not even the top 5 teams.

Lets cut the bullsh&t.
Beckwith has a great future.
But for now, lets get the guy with the ring to run the show.

The difference between a "Al Scates" and a Wilton is a Scate's team doesn't lose a second match against an average team.

Bookum,
Save your "politically correct" bullsh&t answer to this post.
It's time to start the experience setter.
If it wasn't for a questionable call at the end of game 4.
Hawaii might have pulled out a great comeback.

I don't know if I like Tuyay put back as the setter. Tuyay is definately more deceptive than Beckwith and I like that Tuyay is much more of a gambler and will try to force the middle than going to the outside on bad sets. But Hawaii's passing is so suspect that Beckwith saves a lot of balls from being overpasses. Tuyay wasn't really good at saving those overpasses and on some level, just lacks the height to do that. I think Tuyay handles the pressure much better than Beckwith. I think as Hawaii gets into the tougher teams, Wilton might go back to Tuyay, as he is the more experienced player.

So . . . what happened? Did someone leave a jersey at the hotel again? Were there too many lights flashing (I heard camera lights were flashing on Wednesday and Hawaii was whining about it)?

Roy,
If the only reason to keep Tuyay out of the lineup is because "he can't save overpasses". That's a bad excuse.
They should replace the passers.
I keep hearing about height. Nobody complained about height
two years ago.

I have only seen Beckwith play streaming over the net and he seemed okay. He seems to have miscues with his hitters, especially his MB's at least once a match. As good as his height it to prevent overpasses, I agree with socalfan, replace the passers IF that is the real issue.
I have a hard time understanding why you would not start an experienced Sr. with championship experience under his belt. Especially now. Riding this 3 game skid it could be Tuyay's chance to take the reigns. He is a smart setter that gets up for every match. One thing is for sure though, they cannot take anyone for granted, especially USC.
I think UH kind of got the deer-in-the-headlights-look being voted #1 and not having beaten anyone in the top 7 or 8. (In fact I believe they moved from 4th to 2nd during their idle week.) So of course everyone guns for you when you're #1 and you get their best game. Yes they did beat UCLA the first night and I don't take anything away from that, but we'll get a better gauge on what kind of team they are a couple weeks from now after they play BYU.
