just over. 45 minutes ago. Hawaii wins. 23-25, 25-20, 25-17, 25-23. 3-1 sets to 1. Play UC Irvine tomorrow. 4:30 pm. SSC. Big West Championships 2024.

You mean they can lose the final big west championships and still make it in to the playoffs?

As long as UH takes 3 out of 4 from UC Irvine. They're in. The Big West has three teams in the top 5. The Big West isn't going to be one bid team. I don't know If I can root for Long Beach St. But, if CSUN wins the tournament. Both UH and UC Irvine are out.

Second round tonight at SSC. About to go down in 3 is Hawai'i. Losing the big west championships. Slim chance they get picked over Penn State. EIVA. Whoa.... still in the third set.

Not going to happen. CSUN. LBSU is a better team. They'll stick with the Big West format. Stronger team.

Sorry to the VB men's fans here. On the verge of being ousted. Relying on CSUN to get in. I don't think so. Did they play any team from the EIVA or MIVA? 0-3 Hawai'i and out of the Big West Championships. Friday night. SSC. At-large bid? Very slim chance. But still maybe.
23-7 overall record is Hawai'i. They're going after Penn State. Or some other EIVA team. Who is probably not known.

Hawai'i will get the at-large bid into the NCAA playoff championships men's volleyball. Penn State is their nearest rival at first place in the EIVA. So they'll go with Hawai'i. At=bid.

Taylor Averill was part of the building blocks for Charlie Wade when he became head coach of the UH men's volleyball program. Now, the UH men's volleyball team can just reload every year as a national champion contender.

The UH men's volleyball team would love to stay in the Big West. If the Big West will have me. UH would be sincere in staying unlike Kyrie Irving saying it with a smirk.

The match between UH and Harvard isn't being broadcast tonight. Why can't Harvard stream this match? Is Spectrum blocking any streaming?

BYU has an obnoxious fan sitting behind when UH serves. If you want to cast a person who lives in a trailer park. He's a fat guy in a little t-shirt.

Lois Sakanoko and Keoni Thiim of BYU have improved with their serving accuracy. Last year it was an ace or a service error on their first serve. The announcer on the second UH vs. BYU match said that Thiim has to go on a run to catch up to UH. He's not consistent enough with his serves to do that.

Only got to watch a few highlights of the two matches, but Warriors look quite impressive this year.

There was a guy who sat down next to me who look like that BYU heckler. It was no surprise that he wore a MAGA cap.

In last night match, there was guy in UH gear sitting behind the Stanford servers yelling at them. Great. Act like the A-Hole BYU fan. Stay Classy.
