2 losses in a row for the lopes this weekend, second one was embarrassing. With that there are no undefeated teams left. I’m curious what their ranking will be this week?
I’m going to guess:
1. Hawaii
2. LBSU
3. GCU

Being one of the close to eight thousand people watching the match in the Stan, you could see that some of the GCU players were rattled by the crowd. There is an energy you can feel with that many people viking clapping, Che-Hoo ing, chanting “ Let’s Go Bows”, and yelling in sync “roof”. It’s a lot. The Lopes could not play its game. Hawai’i scouted them so well, they shut down the middles for the most part and they stopped the lefts and left the oppo to do his thing. Hawai’i’s serving and passing was both efficient and effective. No smoke and mirrors, no hype, just ball. GCU had the best record so they deserved the ranking, but really the AVCA ranking is voted on only by the coaches, and for many, they put little effort in it. Hawai’i is a better team.

I think come Monday, we’ll see LBSU 1, Hawaii 2, UCLA 3, GCU 4, UCI 5? You bring up an interesting point about the crowd in Hawaii. I would love to see all of these matches played at a neutral court and see if the result changes. |

Completely agree. They looked uncomfortable from the start except for Slight and Gianni. GCU is good team that could take out anyone of any given night. Nic Slight is a fantastic setter and volleyball player with a seemingly high volleyball IQ. In my opinion, he plays differently than his team and has a different air about him. |

Clearly GCU should not only disband its program but the entire school should be shutdown after that loss. Also, USA Volleyball should ban all the GCU players from ever playing volleyball again because they lost.
Folks, it was one match. Plenty of road teams have been served off the court at Stan Sheriff and have gone on to have good seasons. GCU is a good team. Let’s not call them frauds.
