Back to back SEC teams in the tournament. Hope this one goes like last year, without the slow start.

LSU is probably not as good as Mississippi State was last year. I think Hawaii is favored, but of course anything can happen.

And Hawaii is better than they were last year but yes, anything can happen. Robyn will have her team ready though, we should know that much.

Before the CSUN match, Hawaii was at RPI (adjusted) of 33. Likely the bracket was finalized w/o weighing the impact of the CSUN RPI bomb on Hawaii, which put them at RPI 36. At RPI 33, they had to jump ahead of one other team to be seeded as an 8. JMU with RPI 21 went unseeded.
As an 8, Hawaii would always be in a 1-seed hosted round 1 and 2. So, they could of sent Hawaii to either Wisconson, Louisville, Texas, or Stanford. Wisconson and Louisville would have been the worst travelwise for Hawaii, so either Texas or Stanford were Hawaii's remaining least travel burdenend sites. I'd have preferred Texas, just for the storylines and chance to play the #1. But, Stanford is certainly the shortest distance travelwise for Hawaii, so a tip of the hat to Hawaii and its fanbase, easing its travel to round of 1 and 2.

There are a lot of neat places to see and eat at in the Bay Area. I know the 'Bows are going to be focused on the business at hand but I hope they also enjoy their off time on this well deserved trip.

Has the Wahine ever played at Palo Alto?

From SoCal flying vs. driving is a toss up. Hour drive to the airport, one and a half hours before flight time, hour flight, hour to de-plane and pick up a car rental, hour commute to Palo Alto for a total of about 5-1/2 hours, which is the same time as driving the whole way.

One thing for sure, Robyn and Staff know how to play the RPI game. The Wahine pre-conference schedule was strong enough to off set their Conference schedule.

If you look at some of the past committees, they have their ranking before the west coast matches are done on Saturday, I think they pencil teams in even before Saturday's results. With the seeding of the top 32 teams, it's something that has to start before Saturday I'm guessing, especially with the easier selections.

Has the Wahine ever played at Palo Alto? If you mean any match, yes, the last one was in 1997. Hawai'i against Stanford is 16-13 from 1982 to the present. The last meeting anywhere was in 2009.

Of the 4 Top Seeded Teams, Texas, Wisconsin, Louisville, and Stanford, this is the one I was hoping the Wahine would be placed in, the Stanford Regional. Not because of the travel distance, but that Stanford can be beat. If San Diego, had gotten the 4th Seed, then I am thinking the Wahine would have found themselves in Austin.

Thank you. Did not realize Hawaii played Stanford that often. Were any of those matches played at Palo Alto, though?

The last time Hawaii played at Stanford they beat Michigan to go the final four in 2009.
