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. Thank you. Did not realize Hawaii played Stanford that often. Were any of those matches played at Palo Alto, though? Thanks, I forgot about that one. It was the freshman year for the fabulous five.

How does the top 32 seed work? If Hawaii is 8 seed in Stanford region and Stanford is the 4th overall seed, does that mean Hawaii is the 28th overall seed? 32 goes to 1 seed for second round 31 to 2 30 to 3 29 to 4 So we are the 29th seed you are right, I meant to say 29th but 28/29th are both in Stanford regional anyway.

The last time Hawaii played at Stanford they beat Michigan to go the final four in 2009. Again, thanks, I forgot it was at Stanford.

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. Timewise maybe a toss-up. Safetywise and less taxing, fly. Costs of driving and flying likely aren't far apart between the Bay area and most of SoCal. Flight availability usually isn't an issue, but bargain hunting might limit options.

interesting, they have an NIVC tournament for teams that never made it in. I’m surprised looking at all the teams there, not seeing at least UCSB there.

Last time I went to a Stanford match the parking was horrific, If you are traveling from far and wide get there pretty early, or expect to circle lots for a while.

I remember that 2009 match with Michigan, I watched it within the past year or so. I just remember the commentators celebrating the Michigan setter for being such a good setter when they were really messy in the match. They would open hand set the ball in moments when they shouldʻve bumped it, half the time they were sliding on the floor after they set the ball. It was not nice.
Watching the highlights... Danielson is just wow

I will be very optimistic but Hawaii has about 70% chance in beating LSU and 40% chance in beating Stanford. I like our chances here.

Michigan has really lost juju ever since they stopped recruiting players named Lexi/Lex/Alex.

I actually like this draw for Hawaii. Hawaii gets LSU in the first round. A respectable SEC team that can beat Hawaii if they aren’t on their game. And most likely Stanford the next round if they can win. In order for Hawaii to return to prominence they will need to match up with the teams like Stanford and hope to push and/or beat them. It’ll be hard but not impossible.

Hope the Wahine are packing to stay on the Mainland for 3 weeks. The Wahine just need to win 6 more matches, not an impossible task. They just need to reverse their 1st 6 match record, at the beginning of the season.

They just need to reverse their 1st 6 match record, at the beginning of the season. One match at a time. As VTK mentioned, LSU can beat Hawaii if the Bows aren’t on their game. This Hawaii team fights and can come back if they’re down but I hope they jump on LSU early.

The last time Hawaii played at Stanford they beat Michigan to go the final four in 2009. But that Hawaii team was really good, fast offense, great defense and ball handling.
