Also huge props to KaHawkeye. She had 19 digs (out of the total 45 team digs) She was great today! She gets my MVP vote.

Is everyone aware that the Des Moines Regional includes 3 B1G team and Hawaii. LOL Wouldn't it be something if 3 B1G teams fall out in one regional? Not making any predictions, just speculation.

I've seen PSU played a bunch of times and if Hawaii can disrupt their passing. Hawaii has a shot at winning.

I will agree and disagree with Optimus Prime. First he predicted Jazzmin Babers being an AA candidate over a year ago, and she IMO has proven him correct but might not get a 3rd team spot which I think she deserves.
I think that the back row defense of the Aggies was not at the same level as it has been like he said but I disagree with the block being there. Many times Ashlie Reasor floated the block beyond the attenna and the back row covers a seam that was further from where they would have been in better position to dig the ball. A couple of nice hard cuts into a floating block will be very difficult for a dig to occur. Middle back missed some as well and Gabby Litwin did not have the match she did yesterday against TAMU CC.
This match was won by Hawaii based upon what Hawaii did...end of story...that was a final four worthy performance against a Sweet 16 team IMO. If the Wahine play like that I can see a Final Four but of they play like they did against TCU, Penn State will take them out next round.
The play of the libero Kahakai frustrated our offense. Jazzmin Babers and Shelby Sullivan had 20 kils with 3 errors out of 45 attacks. At least 7 more kills likely would have occurred without the libero play IMO. She was positioned extremely well and read the attack. Her digs either were great ups or digs to transition to attack.
Middle attacks from Hawaii we didnt get enough touches on and then gave away too many points from the outside.
The Aggies hit -.060 from the outside, that wont cut it. On the other side .419 from the outside. I don't think we were prepared for the offensive production from the outside either to block or to dig.
A quick note...when the brackets came out I had the SEC going 6-2 in the sub regionals. Maybe it was more wishful thinking on having the Aggies advance but after the practice and play against TCU I saw the possibility more and more. That was squelched rather decisively. I had Missouri and Kentucky losing in second round and Florida and TAMU advancing. Kentucky under performed and Aggies ran into a buzzsaw performance and didn't step up their play like they have done for the last two months of the season when falling behind.
I hope that Hawaii gets to the Final Four because then it wont hurt so bad. I loved the play of the Aggies this season, wish it didn't end.

I'm glad for Hawaii and all their great fans. Hawaii does have a real shot against Penn State as this Penn State team is not quite as good as in recent years because of their passing. Their hitters though...still very good.

The replay is already up on ESPN3. I think I'm gonna watch it a zillion times to hold me over til next Friday heh heh. So next match is next Friday at what time? Most likely the nightcap as the #1 seed in the region typically plays the early match unless they are the regional host.
