72. completely agree. they got stuck in their weakest rotation and SC’s serving was very tough at the end
BTW, apparently Siki will not be making the next road trip. At least that is what Hartley said.

Have a good night all. Going to close the thread for the night. Will start a new one tomorrow.

I guess I should be upset that they loss and I am to a degree but overall I’m not disappointed with the way the Warriors played tonight. Towards the end of the fifth set they couldn’t overcome the pressure of USC’s serving and got stalled in their weakest rotation and loss their lead but even then they were still in it.

Their errors cost them in the end but overall the way they played will pay off in the long run.

Fey played fine. He’s a little undersized out there but he is a solid passer. Hawaii didn’t start to tighten up at the end and, as I mentioned. SC had fresher arm and legs when bringing back some of their starters at the end.
Spoke with Ferguson after briefly. He was impressed with UH. Said he always knows that Sedore will have a great night against them.
We agreed that SC’s serving at the end limited some of the options for Franciskovic, especially to Averill. He was 1-1-3 in Set 5.
Career-high in digs for Kanetake (18) and season-high for the team in aces (9).

I honestly haven’t been impreseed with Fey’s offense for a while now, not just tonight He needs to pick it up! and it’s nice to know that Hartley could come in and play well against top competition.

And when hartley has a bad match, you’ll be calling for him to be out. Did fey struggle tonight? Yes. But does he usually struggle. No. He’s usually the best passer on the team, minus kanetake.

This one hurts, and EVERY match counts if you want to win the league and get a at large bid to the NCAA.
Let this one slip away now they have to go on the road and sweep some teams, can’t split at home and on the road.

I could see Hartley replacing Fey, especially on nights when fey plays like this. Kanatake and Siki anchor the defense IMO.

Hartley has two good matches and you’re calling for FEY to be out? Newsflash, while fey isn’t offensively outstanding, his defense anchors the team. THATS Why he plays. Hartley did great but he’s not replacing siki or fey

UH let SC back into this one with all those tip shots…Poor passing & poor choices down the stretch…
