have you decided if you flying down for the Big West Tournament? I do not have the funds, sadly! If I did fly to Hawai'i, which I cannot afford any time soon, it would be for the Rainbow Wahine! I would, however, look into the local tours one buys, to experience locally owned businesses, if I did! the wahine big west tourney is here for 2026, maybe aim for that one! |

Thanks, that may be possible! I would still go as much locally owned as possible! |

Omg Chris needs to stop with the Bachi and his "peaking to early" comments. Hogwash. Let them continue to get better! Lol they still got lots to work on for sure. Well, there is definitely such a thing as a ceiling for teams depending on the personnel and the team dynamics. Coach Chris is tenured so he knows what he is talking about. With that being said, I don't think Hawaii is close to peaking and this Stanford series, while wonderful considering the outcome, isn't an indication that they're peaking. I'd say based off of the personnel, returnees and new talent, and the experienced coaching staff, that we'll see if Hawaii can reach their peak closer to post-season play. This group still hasn't gone through much together to peak and teams like GCU, UCI and LBSU are incoming and will present the types of situations where the team will either grow or crumble. Heck some teams don't ever peak. |

Seemed like Stanford had lost any will to win tonight 🤭. Yeah they went from The Stanford Cardinal to The Stand-around-and-wait-for-the-game-to-end |

I understand what you are saying but I don't think I said teams don't have a ceiling and as much as Ive respected Chris over the decade + Ive wactched him.....even with his resume has said some questionable things at certain times over the years that had me including many here disagreeing with. I just feel this team in particular isn't anywhere close to peaking yet. If they were, then I'd agree with him tbh. But I'm not. Still plenty of season to go and more for them to improve on imo. But we shall see for sure. |

But we shall see for sure. Chris has to talk a lot, to fill the empty air. Pretty sure if he took the time to be thoughtful he'd reconsider much of what passes from his lips. But who knows. Maybe not. Maybe he really is that fool that believes that Hawai'i played as well as they can play and will ever play last night. Peaked. Oh my. |

But we shall see for sure. My initial response to you wasn't a rebuttal but rather an expanding on the subject of peaking. Like you, I also think this team is far away from playing at its peak. If they are peaking now, then someone isn't doing their job with recruiting and coaching in the gym. |

Y'all, Hawaii fans are too damn spoiled with the broadcasts to the point that they're picking apart someone who has been doing this at a high level for a long time! |

These days you hear him repeat the same things every week or say some things you know he just made up. It's hard to say since I've heard him for so long, but it may be time to replace him. I'd prefer someone with some recent playing experience to explain some of the nuisances & strategies of today's game |
