hawaii unseeded gonna play in seattle for the 1st 2nd rounds

[couz808]

Even though we swept through the big west. Looks like we got shafted from the NCAA again

[My3Cats]

A travesty of typical NCAA proportions.

game vs Santa Clara about to start now on ch16/1016, go wahine!

[reignjah11]

Hawaii sweeps Santa Clara 25-20, 25-13, 25-19. Plays winner of Washington-Central Arkansas tomorrow 5pm, not sure if ocsports will broadcast. GO WAHINE!!!

[reignjah11]

UH loses a heartbreaker to washington in five sets 20-25, 25-20, 19-25, 27-25, 15-11! Hard luck wahine, it was a great game between 2 top teams. its sad this game had to be played this early in the tourney because the ncaa still after all these years doesnt consider hawaii a top volleyball program. we should have hosted this region! its ok, next year everyone but maeda should return and we'll be back! good season, go bows!

When we start doing well in the NCAA tourney on a yearly basis instead of losing early despite having a good season and being undefeated in conference, then maybe the NCAA will take us more seriously. We always say that we are shafted but then proceed to lose early. I guess we are not as good as we think. We don't aim for conference championships, we aim for national championships so we should be able to beat anyone anywhere.

Actually hawaii does have a history of doing well in postseason play. Since 2000 hawaii has been in 4 final fours, 2 regional finals (final 8 teams), and 4 regional semifinals (final 16 teams). The ncaa still doesnt believe those accolades are good enough for hawaii to at least host an opening regional? smh Like i said whats the point of having a ranking and putting hawaii 8th and then not be seeded?

We were good in the early 2000s but not so much recently. NCAA doesn't do the rankings other people do.

last year we made it to the regional semifinals, in '09 we went to the final four, '08 and '06 we got to the regional finals...i think we fared quite well recently. i know the ncaa doesnt do the rankings but they are based from coaches, experts, analysis, media, etc...you would think the ncaa would take it into account.

You are correct. I was thinking we were worse than that. We do have a pretty good track record in the NCAAs.

that's big time bull dude! did you even look at the seedings? explain how does the 4th place team in the SEC, Kentucky get seeded and the Big West Champion doesn't? the SEC didn't have 4 seeded teams, they had 2 with florida being the other. Kentucky didn't beat florida. how about louisville? what merits do they have to get seeded? none. they got seeded just because of geography. same with kentucky. seeded because of geography.

doing well in the ncaa tournament, brah, if you take away florida, penn state, nebraska, texas, and the pac, UH has more tourney wins than all of the rest of the teams combined. so your comment is dumb.
