Comments on: Hawaii up to No. 6 in poll, 23 in RPI https://www.hawaiiwarriorworld.com/volleyshots/hawaii-up-to-no-6-in-poll-23-in-rpi/ Tue, 27 Oct 2015 20:52:50 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Cindy Luis https://www.hawaiiwarriorworld.com/volleyshots/hawaii-up-to-no-6-in-poll-23-in-rpi/#comment-2623099 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 20:52:19 +0000 http://www.hawaiiwarriorworld.com/?p=33935#comment-2623099 61. putting in an acceptable bid is only for a regional, not the first-second rounds, and for whatever reason, UH hasn’t put into host a regional since 2011
That UH could host Dec. 4 and 5 a good thing because it does give teams time to get to Hawaii as well as have the practice in the venue on the 3rd.
Likely moot but one never knows.

kind of tired of the rehashing of the RPI as well. The computer is going to do what the computer does and all the Wahine can control is the outcome of their own matches.

New thread up for Tuesday.

Looking at the Manual, the deadline is Nov. 10. And looking at the schedule at the SSC, UH can only schedule the games Dec. 4 & 5. Dec. 3 will be practice day for all the 4 teams. There is basketball on Dec. 2. IMHO, the only way for Hawaii to have a chance is to win all their games because the committee will be looking at the last 10 games of the regular season. Will be a challenge but with the talent they have, the Wahine will prevail!! GO BOWS!!!

yep all were in the gym this morning, including Mitchem, who still works out with stretches and running. just not hitting drills and being on the court during scrimmage.

Or very tired and weary. It could go both ways. Let’s hope it helps them and not defeats them.

The team will be more well prepared for an away match than any other team in the NCAA tournament.

Haleiwacrossfitter, EXACTLY! Seeding for UH is unpredictable and the only thing that is certain is that Hawaii will most likely “get-screwed”. My take on RPI is let’s just get through our schedule with the best possible record and see where we get placed in the bracket. It would be nice to be seeded and host, but if we don’t it’s not uncharted territory. If we get seeded with a fellow top 10 team in the sub-regional, again…not uncharted territory.

Although I guess I would rather have all this boring RPI talk rather than skipping and avoiding the blog completely because of crazy, psychotic, multiple personality posters like last year that would verbally attack players, coaches, other posters. UGH, I avoided the blog in disgust last year & may have even reached out to Cindy in disgust.

Kimo – sorry for regressing, but I thoroughly enjoyed that poetic literation, “As the Volleyball Turns…”, LOL!

52. The bonuses help, but SOS and OppSOS are more significant factors (particularly for high RPI conferences, not limited to Big10 and Pac12).

UH won’t get the out of conference bonus unless it schedules all top 75 RPI teams in the preseason. Big West is so weak that maybe one or two other teams in conference will have a top 75 RPI.

Single bonus is valued at approximately .0014 and double at .oo28 in raw score. UH’s unadjusted RPI raw score is .6320 and adjusted raw score is .6390. The difference of .0070 equates to five bonuses (2 for beating Florida and one bonus each for beating Wichita St., LBSU, and Iowa).
