BYU wins the match: 24-30, 23-30, 30-22, 30-27, 15-11
Looks like UH has some new starters. Wilton shouldn't change anything-if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I tip my hat to UH for the game of the year thus far. Props to BYU for coming back in such a hostile environment. "Boootista" was the word of the night.

Red, there was 3 starters that were suspended or something. Yeah, I think Red is just saying that these three guys that played this weekend, played some excellent ball and they deserve to start over the three players that were suspended.

Right, sorry that wasn't clear. They definitely deserve to stay in the starting lineup until outplayed by the suspended players--Tuyay too, he lost his spot to illness and should keep it now until Beckwith outplays him. Tuyay had a great weekend.
UH hit .338 BYU hit .384
Wilton told the television announcer (forgot his name) that they would remain the starters until they are beat out for their starting spots. That is a great call. Wilton also said something to the effect that they won't automatically let back into practice, they have to do some things to make what they did right. It really makes me wonder what they could have done to bring about this severe of a punishment.
This was a refreshing match to listen to/watch. Great way to end the volleyball weekend.

dissappointed that they lost but it was a great game all-around. I have to agree with you all. Arri, Woodward, Tuyay, and Matt should remain in the starting lineup until they are out played by the others.
I find this new starting lineup a lot more exciting to watch than the original. This lineup plays with a lot more emotion and heart. with the others I didn't really see it from them.

What I did like to see though, is that these guys that played this weekend balled out. A few more matches together and I'd love to see a rematch. Announcers were Jim Leahy and Jennifer Carey. I thought it was "what's her name" that the coach talked about the starters with.

yeah I was watching to replay, tonight and I thought that the Warriors had to execute more, and just let it slip away... Although I think the Warriors did well together, these reserves deserve to start in the upcoming matches until they are replaced by the starters...

it seemed that everyone was putting much more effort in than the starters would. never seen aaron wilton and tino reyes screaming so much. even mike wilton came off the bench to exhort the guys. seems that they wanted the guys to win badly. the crowd was awesome, thanks to the reserves' and mike wilton's efforts before game 5. in the postgame interview with jen carey, wilton also said that, "this team played with more effort and emotion than i've seen in a dang long time". he also said that the starters' return is "situational and provisional".

I found myself REALLY cheering for them. I love to watch emotional charged teams. I hope they stick around, especially Matt. He, to me, led this team. Not just with the numbers but the emotional side as well.
But you know what, this team really fed off of each other this weekend and the suspended starters never responded to Matt's emotional play like this team did. I feel Matt was the real leader this weekend. I look forward to another two years of watching him play.
Good job guys, Hawaii is real proud of you!!

Sounds like Hawaii's 2nd group really came out and performed for them. Maybe the coach will rethink the lineup that he's been running (sounds like that's what a lot of you would like) and bring a little more emotion into the group.

This was almost a "David vs. Goliath" story. What a thrill! A group of players playing for the team and not their stats. Absolutely refreshing to watch. Kimo displayed great leadership and had some crucial blocks. Bender was his "never-say-die" self. Woodward rebounded from a tough offensive night to hit 40%. This was a solid team effort. BYU, a team known for their blocking was out-blocked both nights by a much smaller Hawaii team. I hand it to BYU for their ability to roll with the punches. This Hawaii team with their exciting, emotional brand of play brings back memories of the '96 team. That is the way that volleyball is supposed to be played. Thank you!

I listened to most of the USC/Pepp game and watched and listened to the UH/BYU game. They had a lot of parallels. Two underdog teams overachieving on their home floors. After the break following the second game I got the same feeling both games that the tide was turning. After the initial "shock" both Pepp and BYU got their feet underneath them and played consistently.
It's hard to sustain that kind of emotion that the two home teams emitted for three continuous games and hard to recharge it after it has slowed down. The UH crowd almost changed that though. That was a spectacular comeback attempt in Game 4. I believe Matt and Kimo are the real leaders of that team. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the season plays out for UH.

Hawaii played inspired volleyball. I to enjoyed the match. But, a win for BYU is a win. And even though we all "expected" sweeps, hats off to the Cougars for coming into Hawaii and taking 2 games from them and maintaining that healthy lead, and what probably is a shew-in to host the MPSF tournament. BYU showed why they are #1 by bouncing back afte being down 0-2 and winning 3-2.
Again, I thought the "second" string would do well only because they scrimage against the 6-7 Thomas/Azenha and play defense against those guys every day, so they knew what to expect, where as the starters practice against 6'3, 6'2 hitters and possbly seeing a team with 6'8 hitters affect their play.
