#7 I was thinking the same thing. If they win on Saturday I don’t want a t-shirt. I want that green shoe.

Cindy, appreciate your game coverage. That article you wrote for this morning on the Worsley brothers was awesome! Loved the tie in to the Shoji brothers. Enjoyed it immensely.

Let’s go Bows!

I don’t think Hawaii choked. That disrespects the other team. And Lewis was a very good team.

The odds are NOT heavily in LBSU’s favor. Excepting last year’s BW championship match, UH and LBSU have played 5 sets in their last five matches. They are equals. On a neutral court, the match would be a toss up. In Hawaii, UH would be a slight favorite. At LBSU, the Beach are a slight favorite. What is it with some fans who have so little confidence that this dominant UH team will prevail?

UH does not have to work a miracle. The team needs to play well and not have a mental lapse. Remember that UH held 2-1, 2-1, and 2-0 set leads against LBSU in its last three matches. The team didn’t maintain its high level of intensity afterwards (something I saw in set 3 of tonite’s match against Lewis). If Cowell, Stijn and Rado are all hitting well and the middles are involved, then UH will be a solid favorite to win.

Things were far bleaker for UH’s 2002 team, which was winless in three matches against Pepperdine prior to the championship (losing in 4 sets each time), but won on a neutral court in Pennsylvania. This year’s team has a better shot to win despite playing at LBSU. Let’s have some confidence and optimism!

17. hi jeff. they don’t give out attendance until after the second match.
i’d say maybe 2500 for the Hawaii-Lewis match but crowd filtered in late.

20. I know that I sound like a pessimist though I’m no fan of Long Beach. Even if the match with Pepperdine goes to 5, it won’t faze the Forty-Niners, as they’ll get a full day of rest before the national championship match. After all, Long Beach had beaten Hawaii twice in five sets on consecutive days. Moreover, Long Beach has remained unbeaten at home since 2016. The odds are heavily in favor of Long Beach. Hawaii will have to bring its A+ game and work a miracle. All that remains is for Hawaii to prove me wrong once again.
