with consecutive sweeps of NOrthridge Harlan with the play of the game running over from left to right to get a surprise solo block after a Beach overpass, great intuition the defense is carrying this team. including the 2017 MPSF Title clinched at BWCT title and is a regular season champion again. 2017 MPSF champions 2018-2019 Big West Champions 2022,2023,2024 Big West Champions only 2021, finish @ 3rd just now beat Irvine and win it outright, and get the #1 seed. Hawaii can get the #2 seed if Beach beats Irvine twice, and Hawaii beats UCSD twice, not probable, but definitely possible. Hawaii can get as high as #2 seed, and depending on tie-breakers maybe as low as #5 if NOrth beats SB twice, and UCSD beats Hawaii twice (don't think very likely) SB has to beat NOrth twice to get out of the #6 seed. crazy to think Northridge could be the #6 seed, with the only wins vs. Irvine & Hawaii likely seeding is: Beach #1 Irvine #2 Hawaii #3 NOrth/UCSD #4/5 ( I think since NOrthridge will beat SB at least once) SB #6 so would be Hawaii vs. SB & NOrth-SD in first round, with Irvine facing Haw/SB & Beach facing North/SD in semis.......but a lot could change. just would be interesting to see: would the Hawaii fans actually cheer for Beach in a Irv/Beach final so that Irvine doesn't take a bid?  talk about a dilemma !! factoid, the #2 seed has won the BWCT every time in Hawaii #2 Hawaii in 2019 over #1 Beach #2 UCSB in 2021 over #4 UCSD #2 Hawaii in 2022 over #1 Beach |

I think UH sweeping SD and LB sweeping UCI is most probable.
If SB can sweep CSUN they can possibly get to 4th. Not sure how the H2H works for seeding but getting out of 6th would be huge to avoid UH or UCI in first round. They need to win both agaimst a good CSUN team to get the UCSD matchup.
Assuming Dyer is down, UCSD is the weakest draw but still dangerous.

will be really interesting the North-SB matches. would not surprise to see both in the BWCT semis. both have shown they can score major upsets, both with a big arm (Hobus & Bianche).

The Big West Conference Champion will be determined after the Long Beach/Irvine matches at the end of this week.
If Long Beach wins one match against Irvine, it will become the Conference Champion. If Irvine sweeps Long Beach, the teams would become Co-Champions with Irvine holding #1 seed in the Big West Conference tournament because of it's head-to-head advantage over Long Beach.

Second night at the Pyramid is Senior Night? Knipe, Briggs, Harlan, Towrie, Godbold, Grosz, Beebe, Owens are all listed as Seniors, are they all graduating out?

Knipe, Briggs, Harlan, Towrie, Godbold, Grosz, Beebe, Owens are all listed as Seniors, are they all graduating out? all are out of elgibility after this year Knipe graduated in 2022, think he has at least 1, and maybe 2 post-grad degrees. Knipe red-shirteed in 2020, even though it was Covid anyway I think Briggs graduated last year, and in Grad program |

I thought the BigWest Champion is whoever wins the BW tournament? I'm so confused. There are two titles. There is a conference season. The team that has the best conference record is the Big West Regular Season Champion. It's a Championship & title and the trophy says Big West Regular Season Champion. THere is the BWCT, that decides the auto-bid. The winner of the BWCT is the Big West Champion, and is the auto-bid winner for the NCAA. It's a championship and title the Trophy say Big West Champion. there should be no confusion yes, UCSB could conceivably be a Big West Champion, with a 1-9 record in the conference |

The tournament winner is like the World Heavyweight Champion and the regular season winner is like the Intercontinental Champion. At the end of the season, only the first one matters; like noone really cares that Chris Jericho was a 9x Intercontinental Champion (only the Jerichoholics would) |

At the end of the season, only the first one matters; like noone really cares that Chris Jericho was a 9x Intercontinental Champion (only the Jerichoholics would) one can pooh-pooh that title all they want, which for some reason many on here seem to want to do over and over. I guess go write the Big West commissioner and tell them teh regular season is meaningless and the title and trophy and recognition should be abolished I guess, lol it's a better measure of sustained excellence than one week of success that can be heavily depending on the site where it's conducted that week, and that's my opinion modern society many I guess have a limited view of success. I guess one could say even the BWCT doesn't matter either, it's the NCAA national champ that is the only thing that matters. Hawaii's season was sh*tty last year I guess in that case, and then in that case 2019 Hawaii sucked even though the 2019 Hawaii team was one of the all time great teams in NCAA history, lol. testament to how tough the Big West is in that only one two teams (Beach & Hawaii) have won both a regular season title and the BWCT title in the same year. |

FACTs those that denigrate it by their semantics and dismissiveness, well whatever |

In his weekly press conference Coach Knipe said its likely Clarke Godbold will get some time vs UCI and that he is healed up. Mentioned how he played a little vs CSUN I must have missed that. Might be good if those UCI matches go 4-5 sets give him some extra court time.

Might be good if those UCI matches go 4-5 sets give him some extra court time. he basically started the last two sets and came out quick he needs to get in there and receive some balls. Godbold's main issue is teams target him. No question he's a great BIC option and a good OOS hitter. the thing with Harlan last few weeks, there's no weak point on the backrow to aim at. gonna be interesting to see how Knipe plays it, will he go back to Harlan as a serve sub, or try to use Godbold as an arm to bring in. & Bouchkov has to be chomping at the bit to get back in, a good problem to have. |

talk about a dilemma !!
