Wahine Bball playing Wash St - I wouldn't have

[Ulchiro5ga]

I wouldn't have scheduled Wash State. Why give the big island girls a chance to play in state... and possibly beat you? Volleyball can do it because most of the time they will beat the visiting team... but not B-ball.

2 players from the Big Island, 5-9 and 5-11 player will make their debut on Stan Sheriff Center all the way from Washington. Not sure if they'll be playing in front of Hawaii fans tonight. UH Wahine Basketball vs. Washington State game is at 7:00 p.m. HT

Hanging loose in Hawaii.

A couple of pretty bold quotes by WSU's Awa from this morning's SA:

Awa said: "Everyone expects us to win, so hopefully we get to come out and smoke 'em."

"It's real exciting," Awa said. "I think we're going to have more fans than UH Manoa."

Yeah yeah... glad the Wahine silenced those two. Had me worried two minutes into the second half of the game. But then the Wahine came roaring back on a 9-0 run.

^Yup, they seemed cocky and acted like they were too good for hawaii. Nice to see the wahine shut them up.

Wuz watching the replay late last night but got worried when WAZZU caught up and passed the Wahine early in the second half. Had to go sleep and woke up to a pleasant surprise to read in the S-A that the Wahine kicked butt!

You guys have got to know that Beeman offered Molina from Konawaena. So I hope that we can get her in the future. I also remember her saying something earlier about a player from Hawaii wanting to come home and play. She did not say who it was. Awa is a player who backs up her talk with the way she can play. Beeman has said that she would have been happy to have had her on our team. She knows that they have a good program out there. Don't crap on the big island. You are just making coaches job a lot harder to recruit.

One thing you have to know is that Beeman knows exactly what she is doing. She with the help of coach Wooley schedules to prepare their team for conference play. She wants her team to be ready which is one of the reason she scheduled early road games. It was to get the team ready for travel.
