Edit. MWC has four teams currently higher than Hawaii in RPI. They look to be at least a two bid conference this year, maybe three. they are probably on par, as far as auto/at-large bids ... the other factor would be win/loss between the teams in the 2 conferences. here's the bids going back a few years (leaving out 2020, since BW didn't participate) ... if anything, BW looks to be more consistent in its ability to get more than 1 bid ... Year | Big West | Mountain West | 2021 | 1 | 1 | 2019 | 2 | 1 | 2018 | 2 | 1 | 2017 | 2 | 1 | 2016 | 1 | 3 | 2015 | 1 | 1 | 2014 | 2 | 1 |
I thought BW sent 3 teams (Hawaii, CP, and UCSB) in 2019. Hawaii with Hellvig CP with TVW UCSB with Ruddins and Fleck

Yeah the floor defense is alright but it needs the block to do its job. Hopefully they make progress there tomorrow and can beat UCSB but I’m not too sure as of right now Hawaii needs John Cook 😎

Unfortunately, Rodriquez is undersized and UH already have 2 undersized OH coming in for 2023. UH cannot be loading up on 6-0 and under OHs and be able to compete with the big dogs. We need some balance of good smart small hitters but also big tall terminator types to match up with taller teams. She is very impressive though. I guess you forgot about Cubi-Otineru and Danielson duo when they made the final 4.

The players to watch in the state are Reid and Marumoto. Reid isn’t that athletic and she isn’t a baller..I’d take her teammate that plays multiple positions over her.. Reid is only a sophomore who is balling out, she still has room to grow.

WVB: CSUN at Hawai’i links FridayCindy Luis October 21, 2022 Excerpt: On Tuesday, we asked Robyn Ah Mow about the continued inequity of the schedule where teams coming to Hawai’i play each other on Tuesday then have 2-3 days off to travel and prepare for the Wahine while the Wahine have to play back the two back-to-back. Hawai’i also has to play back-to-back every road trip. She said she has talked to the conference, seeing if something can’t change, so that Hawai’i doesn’t have to play back-to-back. Perhaps go Thursday-Saturday, Wednesday-Friday, Friday-Sunday, even Saturday-Monday. So far it has fallen on deaf ears. The whole thing began when Shoji agreed to being the “lone wolf” for ONE season. It never changed. The issue is the odd number of teams in the conference. (9 and now 11). Full post: www.cindyluis.com/2022/10/21/wvb-csun-at-hawaii-links-friday/ lol, this is a strange response the only school that would care about whether Hawaii plays back to back is likely.....Hawaii Big west teams don't travel together to Hawaii, so it's doubtful they would care aside from the one team that would now play Thursday instead of Friday, and probably burns another day off form school... nbd for Hawaii playing in California. Again, it's doubtful schools would care too much playing Thursday instead of Friday for a home match hosting Hawaii. I'm sure the preference is Friday for better attendance, but probably not a bid deal and maybe even better for attendance on Thursdays. the biggest effect is Hawaii having to spend more time if they come and don't play back to back. as to whether it really matters, it's overblown - typical Hawaii 'hysteria' and 'persecution' mentality if Hawaii doesn't want to play back to backs on the mainland, let them stay an extra day, nbd. The only thing is Soccer plays Thursday, so expect to not be able to watch on ESPN+ if they go that route as soccer may get teh broadcasts and then let the mainland teams choose if they want to come early to play Thursday in Hawaii - I doubt they would that way the visiting team can determine the schedule...seems like an easy solution to stop all the ..never ending whining (or 'Wahining' lol) on the subect Blah blah blah. You whining about Hawaii whining is even more pathetic.

Hawaii regains its edge against Cal State Northridge By Jason Kaneshiro 10/22/22, Honolulu Star-Advertiser GEORGE F. LEE / GLEE@STARADVERTISER.COM Hawaii’s Caylen Alexander rejected a kill attempt by Cal State Northridge’s Carisa Barron on Friday.
GEORGE F. LEE / GLEE@STARADVERTISER.COM Hawaii’s Tayli Ikenaga, left, Kate Lang, Talia Edmonds, Braelyn Akana, Riley Wagoner and Amber Igiede celebrated a point.It was a night of happy returns in Manoa. Coming off a grueling road trip and back at full strength, the University of Hawaii women’s volleyball team overpowered Cal State Northridge in its return to SimpliFi Arena at Stan Sheriff Center on Friday. The Rainbow Wahine welcomed libero Tayli Ikenaga back to the starting lineup following a three-match absence and were led by a bounce-back performance by outside hitter Riley Wagoner in a 25-15, 25-18, 25-18 sweep of the visiting Matadors. After grinding through the previous three matches, dropping a four-set duel at Cal Poly a week ago today, the Rainbow Wahine trailed for just five points in the 80-minute rout on Friday before a crowd of 3,859. “I told them in the locker room I thought they were dialed,” UH coach Robyn Ah Mow said. “Coming off that loss against Cal Poly, not really having the energy and not taking care of what they needed to care of, I thought they did a great job today with that, moving into gaining momentum for (today).” The Rainbow Wahine (11-6, 8-1 Big West) made it an early night with their fastest finish of the season heading into today’s “White Out” showdown with co-leader UC Santa Barbara (12-7, 8-1) to close the first half of the conference schedule. UCSB edged ahead in the standings with a four-set win over CSUN on Tuesday and was rejoined at the top by UH and Cal Poly (11-8, 8-1) on Friday. The Gauchos swept the season series with UH last season, handing the Wahine their lone two losses in conference play. But the two-time defending Big West champions made sure they didn’t get caught looking ahead on Friday. “CSUN was going five with a bunch of teams … we have to focus on every game,” Ah Mow said. “There might be a little extra because of (last year’s losses to UCSB) … but we still have to come in dialed on what we need to do on our side.” Wagoner returned with a vengeance on Friday after posting a negative hitting percentage against Cal Poly. The junior put away eight of her match-high 16 kills in the first set and went on to finish at a career-high .467 in her 30 attempts. The UH floor captain also had two aces, five digs and a solo block in a bounce-back performance. “She is executing the same mindset every game,” UH setter Kate Lang said. “Riley has such great leadership on the court, I don’t even pay attention to how many kills she gets. She comes out every single time and I know I can expect the same things from her, with words, with effort, all of that.” Ah Mow concurred: “She’s going to look at (the Cal Poly match) and the girl’s just going to be better the next game, that’s just how she’s working right now.” Ikenaga was limited to watching the online stream of last week’s matches at CSU Bakersfield and Cal Poly while rehabbing an ankle injury that kept her out of action for three matches. The sophomore announced her return with a one-handed stab for a dig that Talia Edmonds turned into a bump set to Wagoner for the first kill of the match. She then served up the first of UH’s six aces and finished the night with nine digs. “I was itching to come back already. I just wanted to get my treatment over with and just be fully back,” Ikenaga said. “I felt this week’s practice has been really helpful for me to be more dialed after staying home and watching the games at home. Not being there, it’s really hard but at the same time using it as motivation to come back and do better. “I wish I got to be up there to support my team, but at the same time we knew it was going to be a rough road trip and it would be better if I stayed home and got my treatment done. But being able to watch it from outside … it was a different perspective for me and I think it helped me personally and I can give that to my teammates as well.” Middle blocker Amber Igiede added 11 kills with one error in 18 swings (.556), was in on three blocks (two solo) and had an ace. The Wahine hit .381 as a team, with Lang distributing 38 assists, including a back set to give opposite Braelyn Akana an open net for one of her six kills in seven attempts. “It was definitely fun tonight because I felt flowy, but at the end of the day I’m putting a ball in air and they’re hitting it,” Lang said. “A lot of the game tonight was points that don’t always get this crazy energy, like tips and rolls, but those are still kills. The hitters are making those points just by being smart and having that mindset of it’s not all about power.” CSUN (7-15, 2-8) hit .168 as a team and outside hitter Taylor Orshoff led the Matadors with nine kills on 20 attacks.

Rainbow Wāhine volleyball defeats CSUN in style‘Bows dominate on the court for their eighth Big West win Michelle Chan, Junior Staff Writer 10/22/22, Ka Leo Following a loss against Cal Poly last weekend, the University of Hawaiʻi women’s volleyball team rebounded in a fast-paced 25-15, 25-18, 25-18 match against Cal State Northridge on Friday night. The ‘Bows dominated the court throughout all three sets despite the Matadors’ best efforts to bring themselves back into the game. Head coach Robyn Ah Mow praised her team’s serve-pass game, describing it as the key to their win. Hawai’i now stands at 8-1 so far in the Big West and has yet to lose a home game in conference play. The ‘Bows remain in a three-way tie in first place with Cal Poly and UC Santa Barbara. Outside hitter Riley Wagoner hit .467 with 16 kills in Hawai’i’s win. UH setter Kate Lang described Wagoner’s performance on the court as “consistent” with “great leadership” and always being able to “expect the same thing”. “Riley just brings other things other than just a hitting percentage,” Ah Mow said. “She brings passing, she brings leadership, not just vocally; she can just lead by example.” UH libero Tayli Ikenaga also made her return from injury against CSUN after sitting out the previous three games. When asked about her injury and recovery journey, she expressed her desire to come back to health and start playing with her team again. “I was itching to come back already… after staying home and watching the game, not being there, it was really hard,” Ikenaga said. “But at the same time, it was used as motivation to come into this weekend and do better.” The ‘Bows play UC Santa Barbara tonight at 7 p.m. HST. Spectrum OC16 will have the television broadcast and ESPN Honolulu (1420 AM) will have the radio broadcast.
