Can y’all cut the beach some slack! Lol! Like every Big West team, they haven’t played since 2019. Not to mention they only have one returning starter starting, and are a very young team! Congrats to the three on the recognition!

Early season stats.
The best predictor/indicator of success I point to is always off hitting % / def hitting %.
Hawaii: 0.260 / 0.213 (had 2 of 3 teams that were top 50ish) at home Beach: 0.215 / 0.180 (opponents were about 120-180 ish rated) on the road Poly: 0.217 / 0.205 (had 2 of 3 teams that were top 30 ish) on the road UCSB: 0.205 / 0.182 (1 top 25 opponent) on the road CS Fun Sun, Stay Play: 0.192 / 0.156 (all opponents over 200+ rated) on the road Davis: 0.219 / 0.248 (two opponents in top 25) at home Irvine: (estimated) 0.280 / 0.160 (two opponents over 200 rated) on the road. Irvine didn't post cum stats yet Riverside: 0.182 / 0.280 ( one top 100 opponent) neutral site Fullerton: 0.109 / 0.208 (one top 100 ish opponent) at home North: 0.110 / 0.204 (two top 50 ish opponents) on road San Diego: 0.140 / 0.215 (one top 50 ish opponent) on the road
so what does all this data mean, other than I need a life? and need more data obviously.
1) the offense in teh Big West this year might be pretty awful 2) Full & Riverside's % and opponents don't portend well at all for them 3) I think the stats bear out that Hawaii/Poly are still the top two programs.

Can y’all cut the beach some slack! No why would anyone associated with Beach cut the program some slack or water down expectations when our program should have the expectations of being a top 50 program, and not some middling 150 program that's always trying to 'figure it out'. Excuses and rationalizations. We are in year 5 of 'trying to figure it out' ...sheesh!

My only comment is that I think our competition this weekend was a step above Montana State, Dixie State and Boise State, LBSU's opponents. Yeah the Beach struggled to go 2-1 against 3 teams that have an average combined RPI of approx 160 vs the teams in the HAL Rainbow Wahine Classic that have an average combined RPI of 69..... Congrats to those LBSU players though.....

Davis: 0.219 / 0.248 (two opponents in top 25) at home I'm not sure if you care but Davis played Florida on a neutral court (Sacramento State). Only UCLA was at home. They looked pretty good in both the Florida and UCLA matches even though they lost. But they also lost to Sacramento State so I'm not sure what to make of their play this weekend.

Anyone who wins a weekly award had a pretty good week, and I get to read about them. Beyond that, don't much care, and my guess is most of the players on good teams feel the same. Nice if they get it, no problem if they don't. Bigger fish to fry.

Congratulations Ladies!! I don't know about the other awardees, but Kash Williams is a major weapon. She has the ability to take over a match. She just needs other players to support her.

I’m in Auburn dreaming of a Fullerton victory tomorrow.
I’m really curious about what players Nicole decides to bring on the road trip.

Looks like Hawaii is going after being #1 in having the worse pre-conference record. Right now the Hawaii record is 1-3, with #22 San Diego next, followed by #19 Utah, then USC. With that schedule, Hawaii could quite possibly enter the BWC with a 1-7 record. When was the last time Hawaii entered BWC play with that kind of a record.

Umm they are 2-2, won against Fairfield and TAMU. These just happened last week 🤦🏻♂️

I implore all Big West fans to ignore the irritant.
