The Bows really need to limit their errors today against the Bulldogs. Hawaii can be really streaky and is prone to giving up big runs- we've seen it all season. It was really a benefit for the Wahine that they played a team that runs a similar style of offense to the style that Mississippi State plays in their last match. Hawaii's style of play is unlike anything that Mississippi State has seen in the SEC so they'll take longer to adjust- it would be wise to put pressure on them early before they can get comfortable. Hawaii is the much better defensive team so if they can pass well and utilize their middles (where they have an advantage), and be disciplined on defense, they'll be okay. I think they're more used to having to grind out rallies than the Bulldogs, it's just the difference in the style of play between the Big West and SEC. BVS is a stud in the tourney so hopefully, she goes off as usual. Robyn and her staff really prepared her past tourney teams so I think the team will definitely be ready, just have to go out there and execute.

So, there seems to be a discrepancy in start times between the NCAA tournament site, which says this match is at 4:30 and the UW schedule, which says 4:00. I called the UW ticket office and they confirmed the 4:00 time - not that the person answering the phone at the ticket office is necessarily the most authoritative source. The game is at 4:00 p.m. Washington time (2:00 p.m. Hawaii time) |

Lol as if MSU didn’t defenses better than Hawaii in the SEC You don't know what you're talking about. The SEC has far more terminal attackers where they don't have as much opportunity for longer rallies. Long rallies are common in the Big West. If you knew what you were talking about, you'd know that the style of play between the Big West and SEC is completely different. Sit your ass down! |

Sure, trash talking can be fun and all, but the match is less than 6 hours away. Surely we'll find out then how Mississippi State and Hawaii actually match up.

I have watched every Hawaii game this season and about 5 MSU matches this season. Saying Hawaii is a “much better defensive team” is just inaccurate…I’d say they are pretty evenly matched defensively, which should make for some entertaining points. |

Sit your ass down! playing defenses like Kentucky and Florida are certainly good prep for Hawaiis defense. Just because Hawaii and other big west teams can’t put the ball away doesn’t mean the conference as a whole is good defensively. It just means it’s a pillow fight lol |

I called the UW ticket office and they confirmed the 4:00 time - not that the person answering the phone at the ticket office is necessarily the most authoritative source. I've been told by ESPN+ support that their actual live streaming starts at whatever time is indicated on their schedule, and past experience has borne that out. UW and the NCAA have not responded to my requests for help in getting ESPN+ to correct their schedule. Here's the link to the ESPN+ Support site (scroll to the bottom). Maybe if enough of us deluge them with chats and calls requesting that they make the correction, they'll finally get it done. Edit: Looks like they did just finally correct it.  |

I don’t know what’s funny. It’s not even an opinion that Marlie and Elli are great defenders and floridas blocking a serious issue for most teams. It’s a fact. Just because you don’t think Florida is a good team doesn’t mean their defense isn’t good. How much non big west volleyball have you watched ? The big west was horrible this year. The level of play was gross. |

Can Hawai'i lose? certainly. They've been prone to mistakes and giving up multiple runs all season. They usually come out slow on the road and take a while to get back in the match. If they do this against Mississippi State today, they can certainly lose. But they're not going to lose because they get overwhelmed by Mississippi State, regardless of the Bulldogs being an SEC team. They're built like a Big West team. That said, Hawaii lost twice to the Big West team they resemble the most.

MSU can surely overwhelm Hawaii. They got second in the SEC. Thats a very impressive accomplishment. |

Yes, the Big West was kind of ugly this year- The conference had a year off so it comes as no surprise to anyone. That said, unlike Mississippi State, Hawai'i is not a newcomer to this stage. |
