Minnesota 3, Hawaii 0 … Taylor out with ankle injury
Beautiful day in Minneapolis, sun out, overnight light snow has melted.
Don’t think I mentioned that sponsoring Aspics sent warm-weather gear to the Whine, jackets, gloves and beanies.
Very convenient for the players that there’s a Starbucks in the hotel.
Match at 6 p.m. local, 2 p.m. HST and 5 a.m. in Novy Urengoy where the Shoji brothers are playing pro for Fakel. about 50 miles south of the arctic curve. Was minus-4 today when i got a text from E.Shoji

Cindy the UCLA reference is in the print edition. Front page (A1), upper right hand corner. “Wahine win NCAA opener Hawaii beats UCLA in 5……”
Creighton went 5 with UNI and upset Kansas in 5. Cakewalks in the first round are not always good..
Go ask Kansas. Na Wahine should take heart with that as they’ve been tested in the first round.
I say Wahine in 5.
Cindy, your article mentioned Boise St. beating W. KY in five. Actually, it was a three-set sweep. Fyi
Put away the the red ink. Give Cindy a break.
Go wahines!!!!
Go Bows! We are cheering you on!
4. Yeah put away the red ink, I believe Cindy meant cold-weather gear.
2. I’ll go with Bozo, NaWahine in 5! cause I’d like to see a match up with Carly Kan and Missouri.
TV OCSports channel 16/1016/1215.
Thanks for mentioning the Asics gear. I was wondering if that was something NCAA provided because of the cold destination, so it is good to know that UH’s sponsor took care of that stuff. The jackets look comfy and spill-resistant for Starbucks oopses. GO TEAM!
If you are interested in tracking the tournament results vs. AQ’s, seeds, brackets, hosts, and RPI and doing a little spreadsheet ‘what if’ play, I’ve built a spreadsheet for myself that does some of that. I’ve put it up on a OneDrive Public folder. Here is the link to my link to my 20161202_NCAA WVB_Tournament Ranking and Results spreadsheet:

This spreadsheet is updated through yesterday’s results. Note: this tracking spreadsheet comes with no assurance of accuracy and is in no way official. Do not rely on it. If you find any mistakes, please let me know; however I offer no assurance I’ll be updating it.
1. thank you. that is on our city desk re: error
yes, you know what I meant. staying warm for the cold-weather. ‘-)
it was a long night last night, think it was 2 a.m. here when going to bed.
link to NCAA scoreboard. don’t know how much I will be updating h

Hmmm… the guide claims Game On is on Oceanic 1016 right now, but it seems to be UH news instead….
Oceanic having trouble with satellite. not sure when they’ll get it fixed
Coastal Carolina takes Set 1 over No. 7 seed North Carolina.
Hopefully they get it fixed soon ESP since big 10 network has blacked out Hawaii.
until then suggest you try radio
OC16 please hurry and fix the feed!!!!
I’m seeing the countdown online at: http://www.btn2go.com/game/tba-at-minnesota-on-12032016 (40 seconds to go)…we’ll see!
and its on! Audio not impressive…maybe sync with a slight delay to Tiff’s commentary on 1420.
OC16 working now
usual starters Kahakai, Maglio, Iosia, Burns, Smith, Taylor, Granato. Greeley will come in for Granato, Mitchem for Smith.
Pitt takes Set 1 at Penn State 25-20
Pitt won the first set against PSU, 25-20…
…too slow…
hope she’s okay. Def not good
not good.
Not good at all… looks like they’re using an air cast.
Next woman up and give it your best shot but let’s be honest, that’s probably the season right there
Not good…choices look like
1) Koelsh in for Taylor in Set 1
2) flip Mitchem and put in Koelsh
Taylor being helped off the court. Koelsch her replacement
i am lost for words.
I would go with Kendra Koelsch at opp
Now they’re going to key on mitchem
UNC evens the match at 1-1 19-25.
what’s happening with the television? mine is frozen. i think the tv is shocked at what just happen
Mine is frozen too. Maybe the satellite feed gave up in despair.
31. Koelsch is playing Opp
Mitchem hasn’t seen the court.
Same here…oc16 frozen
2 aces and an overpass by the normally reliable Anderson and it’s 8-3 TO UH
damn I really thought they could have beaten Minnesota and made a run for the final four.
and can’t promise how reliable the blog will be. internet has been spotty.
What happened to Taylor?
Mitchem blocked it’s 14-6 TO UH
Taylor landed awkwardly after coming down on a block attempt. think that knee buckled again
Gophers win 25-17. Taylor back on bench, leg elevated. ice on ankle.
This is difficult to watch
Minnesota wins Set 2 25-17.
Gophers win Set 3 25-19
