When TVW returns next year, CP will be tough to beat. So will Hawaii when JR returns. Can see both teams going to the postseason.

not sure if the BWC women’s volleyball teams are as good as the men’s. yes, it would be nice if 3 teams went to ncaas but I believe only two will go, conference winner and the second team in the conference.

By the way, great article Brian! Love hearing what the Cal Poly coach had to say about BVS, RPI, NCAA, etc. Can you imagine a three way rivalry in the BW?!! If LBSU rises again, that would be an unreal rivalry to resurrect! BWC could be considered a national power in women’s volleyball!
I think that when the BW made their own men’s volleyball conference, it believed that it had the teams to make a national power in men’s volleyball. It was a smart move considering that all or most of the BW schools that were in the MPSF were always ranked!!

I believe that all three schools should be in the tournament!! Then, hopefully, make a lot of noise, with Hawaii coming out on top! It actually is a good thing that the top three are battling it out. It makes the BW look pretty good!
What would make the BW look even greater next year is the majority of the BW schools play/win their OOC games against P5 schools! Gotta be willing to schedule them no matter the result! At least the RPI will be up for the BW as a whole. Just MHO.

I think it would be great if all three were invited.

I know this comment is about football. the reason Hawaii lost the football game against fresno is not because of the offense but the defense. the defense has been giving up many points this whole season, it was lucky that the offense was able in several games to outscore the other team. if UH want to have a good program and a winning team, they need to upgrade their defense. they have difficulty tackling, guarding the receivers (who are often wide open) and cannot stop the run. the problem is that they don’t have size and speed. not sure if the coaches are to blame or the players, but the defense is not good.

Great article Brian! Indeed, a very interesting “big picture” perspective. We’ve been so wrapped up in our own survival that looking at the Big West reputation and credibility into the NCAA tourney really hasn’t surfaced in our conversations. But, as Robin has been preaching over and over again to the Wahine; we can’t worry about what happens on the other side of the net. We need to worry about about what we do. That focus has brought the Wahine together and will hopefully take us to our own regional for the tourney! GO BOWS!!
