R-L, Riley Wallace, Jim Leahey, Tony Davis.
Welcome to one of my 390 students at court side.
That is Tony in the picture, he played two years at UH. ” Nicknamed “Bones,” Anthony “Tony” Davis set the program’s single-game scoring record with 45 point against Los Angeles State College on Feb. 6, 1959. As (coach) Dr. Al Saake’s first African-American scholarship player, he led the Rainbows in scoring in his first season (540 points) …
At 6-foot, 10 inches, he played key roles in wins over USC, UC Santa Barbara, Oregon State and Santa Clara as the program moved towards an all-intercollegiate schedule. He was the program’s first NBA draftee, selected by the New York Knicks in the ninth round of the 1960 draft. A native of Illinois, Davis was a high school All-American before finding his way to Manoa ” (hawaiiathletics)
Warriors starters: Rosenmeier, van Tilburg, Mol, Fey, Gasman, Tuileta, Franciskovic.

Hawaii already looking for the broom in the closet. They’re up two sets to none, 25-21, 25-19
Early TO Waves in the third set as the ‘Bows go up 5-1
Thought Dunphy might wait for the TTO but Pepperdine looking a little lost out there. It’s 13-4. TO Waves.
Coach Dunphy not waiting for the TTO to talk to his team. ‘Bows go up 13-4 with Waves taking a TO.
Two total points later, we go into Pepperdine’s “third” timeout this set, ‘Bows up 15-4 at the TTO
Van Tilburg with 14th kill. It’s 15-4 at the TTO. ouch.
Broom is out for the ‘Bows. Hawaii Sweeps 25-21, 25-19, 25-11. Keeps the streak alive, now at 10 straight.
Wow, Hawaii looked really sharp tonight in almost every facet of the game. The connection between Franciscovic and Gasman is still a work in progress.
The Waves are a solid team and the best they could do was hope that Hawaii cooled off and let them in the match. Very Impressive.
29. agree. Gasman jumped early a couple of times. but they connected on an inside slide the will be useful as the season wears on.
Jennings was spectacular, this is how he needs to play for UH to win it all. He needs to use his amazing jumping ability and be more offensive, no other setter can do what he can at the net so he needs to take advantage of it.
Nice match again by Fey, hope he has turned a corner.
island man- you must go way back (kidding). Tony Davis? Never heard of him. Even Leahey said that Davis was before his time. Tell us about him, I’m sure he is well deserving.
Sorry islandman miss your follow up. thanks
UH did indeed look very sharp last night. I like the tempo Jennings was setting. Fey had a good night which is awesome, he’s been struggling a bit lately. Transitions are turning out really smooth, love the progress they are making.
Have to say, I have been impressed with Fey’s play recently.
Very impressed with the whole team. Amazing defense, everyone was willing to sacrifice their body to make a play. Very thrilling to watch. People on Oahu should go see this team. They are becoming something special.
The players hope more fans will come. They do play an entertaining style of volleyball.
Not hard to find info all on the COH inductees.

I’ve been happy to have a great seat without a crowd around me, but the way they’ve been playing, it won’t last. Eventually others are going to figure out what they’re missing.
I’m still hoping for a Fey and Tui switch of positions. You still get Fey’s passing. You still get Tui’s passing and defense. But you add Tui’s offense, which I think is better than Feys. Oh well, wishful thinking.
Sorry, back to Robyn will quick. I hope she really plays the RPI game and play more on the road.
#39 – give it up. Ain’t gonna happen. Wade thinks Tui has the potential to play at the next level as a LIBERO.
Tuileta doesn’t have the hops to play outside at this level. He wouldn’t be horrible, but Fey has the kind of physicality, vertical and height needed. Just needs to be consistent obviously, which he’s been better at. Plus Hawaii has other options on the outside like Matautia and Parapunov.
39. To clarify, the location of a match does not have any impact on RPI. Beating a team at Stan Sheriff or at that team’s facility will have the same RPI impact. However, if you are suggesting that UH play on the road against higher-RPI teams that won’t or can’t travel to Hawaii, then UH should definitely do that, especially during the fourth weekend of the season, after the three UH-hosted tournaments are completed.
The last time UH traveled in the non-conference season was in 2013 to Wichita, where it beat South Dakota, Creighton and Wichita St. 2013 was the last time UH received a seed (#11), and did so despite having the 17th-best RPI ranking on selection Sunday. Many factors contributed to this: beating #1 Texas to begin the year, the BW having the 8th best RPI rating of all conferences, 3-1 vs. RPI top 25, 6-2 vs. RPI top 50, beating RPI top 25 Creighton and top 50 Wichita St. on the road (significant road wins). Also note that this was the year UH lost to Northridge, UCSB, and Davis in-conference. So despite these 3 losses, UH still got seeded.
2013 was also the year the BW had tri-champions and 3 teams in the tournament.
#41 agree. Tui can be a good change of pace outside. However Fey or other listed options need to be in there on a regular basis.
Tui was playing outside at USC, he DEFINITLEY has the skill sets, jump and hittting ability to hit at this level. You must not have seen him play before coming to UH.
Mav – yes, that is what I was referring to. Places in the B1G, Big 10 or even ACC. Obviously winning those type of matches would help more, but playing there would be just good exposure for the team and RPI.
And on Jennings….dude has been spectacular this season. In all aspects. He will be sorely missed next year. Joe is a phenom himself, but no one can match Jenning’s athleticism. He’s so much fun to watch.
#45 I totally agree. I truly believe he is National Team potential as a setter as long as he is on target, aggressively attacking, and keeps the other teams guessing. You either have that athleticism or you don’t. He has it and then some. His blocking can shut down the opposing team’s left side. Josh Tuaniga of LBSU is a great setter because he is creative and is on target. However, Jennings could probably dunk over him being that he is a few inches taller in height and with that amazing vertical.
