I think to use a basketball analogy.
SB's loss probably moved them from an 8/9 seed to a 9/10 seed
the committee now has a convenient entry to just put the winner of Beach/Hawaii at an 11/12 seed
interesting that Hawaii is now close to USC in KPI, and holds that 2-0 head to head, and with a top 25 win over FSU. unfortunately, it's a fine line that Liberty or TCU loss may prove to be the difference, along with Beach's loss to North.
UCSB will go to Palo Alto. A very possible rematch with Pepperdine. Hawaii - Beach winner to either Oregon, Arizona State, or BYU

I've enjoyed this tournament so much. Fans have been treated to 4 great volleyball matches with high stakes.
Of course I'd love a Hawaii win but the Beach have worked so hard all year and deserve a chance to go dancing.
Go Bows!

another look at Glenn's tour de force serves to end of first set 3 serves, 3 points; first at the BIg West 1st Team OH, then the Big West Player of the Year, and then the Big West Libero of the Year. http://instagram.com/p/C0DJ01NxLjD |

Hawaii’s mentality needs to be dialed in. This is going to be a huge home court advantage for Beach.

Kendra Ham was the player of that match. So happy to see her playing such a tremendous role last night. She has been such a versatile player. Happy to see her getting kills at opp. She actually got an old Beach fan near me cheering for her. “All right 18!” “There’s 18 again!” 😄 |

I enjoyed Cal Poly's post-match interview the most. Caroline sounds like a great coach to play under. UCSB, Hawaii and Long Beach have been considered the main powers of the conference this season but Cal Poly was the darling. I enjoyed watching their season ending run during the second half conference play. Up until that interview, I only saw the scary side of Walters. 😄 The Big West in good hands with her, Jones, Hildebrand and Robyn. |

Or was it 2019? On the final point they overreached on the final point. She was PISSED |
