Streaming cancelled? Got 1500 am on.
Cal Poly up 15-14 at the TTO. UH with four SEs already.
2. does look like it got cancelled according to the website.
I’m watching the online stream now, but no audio. I logged on earlier and was able to get in. Momentarily said that the video was cancelled due to internet issues and only audio was available, but the video came back on and has stayed on so far. Checked back in the links, which say that the video has been cancelled, so I guess I had better just keep my stream going as long as possible.
I have video too. no sound
Cal Poly on a 3-0 run. Up 19-16. TO UH
Sheesh, what is happening to this Wahine team?
CalPoly takes set 1. 25-21
7. well, UH played last night, hard fought 5-setter. Cal Poly hasn’t played in a week. a very unfair schedule all season. Plus 4 SEs didn’t help. that was the margin of Cal Poly’s win.
How are you guys getting video? It still says the broadcast is cancelled?
8. thanks was just about to fix that. Gametracker was off initially
I guess the video is still active, but maybe they cancelled access to it for some reason?
12. Don’t know. All I saw was a line through the schedule on bigwest.tv
Well, the video is getting kinda jerky, at least for me, so maybe those internet issues are catching up to it.
listening on internet radio and the connection not great either.
Hawaii up 15-14 at the TTO.
Much better play in second set, but this team does not look ready for post season play at all.
Gotta leave for a football viewing party. Wish I could hand my video feed off to someone else, lol. Go Wahine!
Taylor with a nice serving run, has UH up 19-14. TO Cal Poly
It’s now 21-17
Cal Poly has closed to 22-21. TO UH.
Not good, Olevao is just not playing well this weekend at all. Try long.
UH wins 25-22. Kill by Magill ends it.
Glad UH pulled off set 2, hope they win this in 4
, gonna watch Redondo Union now. First impressions, Iosia is definitely close to 6 feet tall and her hands are smooth. Redondo also has a very good athletic middle named Kristen Hamlin, She will be very good in college IMO, I wonder where she is headed?
Wow Iosia’s bump sets on ugly passes are amazing.
Cal Poly goes up 1-0. UH scores 10 straight. 6 blocks. it’s 10-1 TO Cal Poly, their second during this run. Mendoza holding serve
Is the Redondo match online?
Hawaii running away at 20-9 Cal Poly has no TOs, they burned those in the first 11 points.
26. fox prime ticket, its channel 1228 on oceanic.
real happy UH is pulling away.
26. I’m in Vegas and the match is televised on prime ticket/fox sports
Hawaii wins 25-12. They had 10 blocks when taking a 19-6 lead. they end the set on their 11th block of the set.
30. I’m really impressed with what I see. She had a few missets late in set 1, but her bump sets on off passes are KK good.
UH up early 6-2 in Set 4.
32. She’s got talent although it is often difficult to predict how high school talent will translate to ncaa division I. But you can tell why she’s gotten rave reviews.
Hmmm, it was 9-3. Now 9-7. TO UH.
UH up 17-9. Taylor 1 dig away from a triple double. 10 kills, 10 blocks, 9 digs
Nikki has her triple double!
UH up 21-14. Taylor has a triple double 10 kills, 10 blocks, 10 digs.
32. Alyce Ford has a live arm. And Iosia has a decent jump serve.
On the live stats, Keani Passi is lasted as seeing court time tonight. Is that an error? Or did she make the trip?
So Nikki Taylor has ten blocks from one block solo and nine block assists. Doesn’t a block assist count as half a block when adding up points? Please explain how block stats work here.
Alyce Ford would be perfect in a fast offense. uSC is so wrong for her.
Hawaii wins 25-16.
42. Agreed. But some players want to play at the biggest name schools. We will see if she sticks…USC has a lot of tall hitters
Kalei Adolpho was in beast mode tonight…..she has been the MOST consistent player for Hawaii from mid season by far.
Yesterday, Nikki and kalei had huge games and our middles did ok. Tonight was the opposite. Just shows you match ups and strategy really matter.
great that the wahine dominated the 3rd and 4th.
A Block Assist is considered HALF A BLOCK for TEAM STATS (because a Block Assist is achieved by more than one blocker). But for INDIVIDUAL STATS a block achieved by an individual player, whether solo or assisted, is considered ONE BLOCK .
Thanks, Ki (#48) for explaining. Still, aren’t TEAM STATS compiled by adding INDIVIDUAL STATS? I know that in the USA Team, a block assist is considered half a block even in individual stats. That’s why I get confused.
Love that solo stuff of Ford by Iosia, Hope we see of a lot of that in the future.
Megan Rice is a nice pick up for the dink queens. I think we will hear a lot of her in the future against the wahine.
Iosia to Ghani is a great connection. I wish Glani picked UH instead of Texas.
Hi Cindy, why is it so difficult to find out about recruits or recruiting news for wahine volleyball and all teams? Its harder to get info on this topic then it is on some top secret on area 51. I just don’t understand why.
Iosia was a good as advertised. The middles will love her and she gives the outside hitters space to hit. She also has a wicked serve. Also agree with WF on his comments about the other players that we watched.
53. don’t know what you mean. I had stories about all 3 Wahine signings.
If you’re discussing UH releasing the info, mentioned earlier this week that Shoji said they’d do it Monday when they got back from the trip. He wanted to do all three in one release. Castillo’s info got faxed in late Wednesday afternoon with the team leaving a few hours later.
48. thanks for getting to that first. Have a desk shift tonight plus the Wahine VB rewrite.
Taylor’s triple-double is the first in program history during the rally scoring era.
Here is the listing of UH’s NONCONFERENCE OPPONENTS, their match results since the last NCAA RPI was released (Nov. 17) up to Saturday (Nov. 22), and the probable outcome of their NCAA Championship tournament aspirations:
__________
ARIZONA STATE (18-11, 8-9 Pac-12, rpi 36) won in 5 sets over a weak Washington St. (Nov. 21). FYI: 8 of ASU’s last 10 matches have gone to the deciding 5th set.
Remaining Matches: Nov. 23 @ Washington … Nov. 26 vs. UCLA …. Nov. 28 vs. Arizona
At-large bid: “Bubble” … League -record 9 squads won bids last year, and I am thinking 8 or 9 this year for the Pac-12. ASU’s case for an at-large bid rests on the results of its 3 remaining matches against higher-ranked Pac-12ers.
__________
NEW MEXICO (18-12, 10-7 MWC, rpi 63) lost in 5 sets to Fresno St. (Nov. 21).
Remaining Matches: Nov. 25 vs Air Force
At-large bid: No chance
__________
NORTHERN ARIZONA (21-8, 12-6 Big Sky, rpi 128) was the 5th seed at this week’s Big Sky Tournament. Quarterfinals: Beat 4th seed Idaho (Nov. 20). Semis: Lost to 1st seed Idaho State (Nov. 21). FYI: Idaho St (23-8) won last year’s league crown, although many expected NAU to give Idaho St a run for the money.
Remaining Matches: None
At-large bid: No chance
__________
OHIO (23-4, 16-0 MAC, rpi 39) is the 1st seed at the Mid-American Conference Championship tournament for the NCAA automatic bid (Nov. 23-24).
Remaining Matches: Nov. 23 (@ home) 1st seed vs TBA in Semis … Nov. 24 (@ home) MAC Championship Final (if Ohio wins its Semis) … Nov. 28 @ Dayton
At-large bid: AQ if it wins the MAC Championship; otherwise, “Bubble”
__________
OREGON (19-7, 9-7 Pac-12, rpi 8) swept the Bruins (Nov. 21). Big Mo on the side of the Ducks.
Remaining Matches: Nov. 23 vs. USC … Nov. 25 @ Utah … Nov. 28 @ Oregon St
At-large bid: Solid chance
__________
SAN DIEGO STATE (14-14, 9-8 MWC, rpi 141) lost to Boise St. (Nov. 19) but swept Utah St (Nov. 22).
Remaining Matches: Nov. 25 @ UNLV
At-large bid: No chance
__________
SAN FRANCISCO (12-17, 5-12 WCC, rpi 138), 9th in the 10-team WCC Standings, was ‘broom’ed by Santa Clara (Nov. 20).
Remaining Matches: Nov. 25 vs. Pacific
At-large bid: No chance … FYI: As I mentioned before, the UH scheduler had the right idea in choosing a WCC team for a preconference match, but who would have known that this would be the year the Dons stinked, stank, stunk!. O Mister Grinch!
__________
ST. JOHN’s (19-14, 8-10 Big East., rpi 140) was swept by Xavier (Nov. 21) and smashed in 5 sets by Butler (Nov. 22). Guess the Red Storm took too many red-eye flights, as the squad failed to qualify for the Big East Tournament (Nov. 28-29) for the AQ.
Remaining Matches: 0
At-large bid: No chance
__________
UCLA (19-10, 10-8 Pac-12, rpi 17) was swept by Oregon though the 3rd set went 31-33 (Nov. 21) but rebounded 3-1 over Oregon St (Nov. 22).
Remaining Matches: Nov. 26 @ Arizona St … Nov. 28 vs. USC
At-large bid: Solid chance
__________
UTAH STATE (12-16, 8-9 MWC, rpi 155) was swept by UNLV (Nov 19) and again by San Diego St (Nov 22).
Remaining Matches: Nov. 25 @ Boise St
At-large bid: No chance
Hope they release shoji’s statements on all three, and what he expects of them. Love reading that. Upset the men’s announcement did not include Wade’s comments on his 6 new recruits.
54. Iosia looked about the same height as the Redondo middles who are listed at 6 feet so it’s nice to know she’s legit 5′ 10/5′ 11 and although Alyce Ford with her 40 inch vertical got lots of kills, Iosia put up a good block on her so she won’t be a blocking liability up front.
Iosia sets look smooth and have a good pace, some of her sets to Yaasmeen Bedart Ghani were just money and had hit me written all over them. Plus on bad passes she ran them down and put up absolutely beautiful bump sets to her hitters, and she’s just a junior in HS.!!!
She was far better than the setter for Mater Dei, who is a senior and going to Stanford. I am excited to see Iosia’s progress, when she gets stronger and fitter, her potential is limitless.
Hi Cindy, no what I mean is if you go to ESPN, you can find recruiting on most sports or at least some info. For women’s volleyball there is very very little. No recruiting section, teams signings, etc. Even on the web its really hard. No page with all schools to see what they got going on. Football you find out who the team may be looking at in 2017. Just wondering why its so difficult. Especially for Hawaii where women’s vball is so big, wouldn’t you think there would be more access to info? Why not our university website duplicate ESPN recruiting so we could see who we are targeting in recruiting for all sports. Make it a 3 year span. This way us fans can see and research prospects. Build excitement.
Does CSUN get an at-large if they win out?
60. I guess because ESPN doesn ‘t care that much about women’s volleyball? And very few places care about women’s volleyball outside of Hawaii.
when you ask ‘why not our university website duplicate ESPN recruiting info, UH cannot mention recruits until they sign. That is an NCAA rule.
There are websites out there dedicated to women’s volleyball, some free, some not. RichKern.com for one. MaxPreps another. Sometimes the ‘announcement’ is done by the junior club but nothing official until a player signs an NLI.
61. Good question. coming into this week, CSUN’s RPI at 37.
much depends on how many of the automatic bids have teams in the top 64. there are 32 autos, 32 at-large. The Pac-12 has nine in the Top 40. My guess is the committee would look at the ninth Pac-12 team over a third Big West. but you never know.
Glad to read that I wasn’t the only one frustrated with trying to follow this match.
I prefer to listen to Tiff on the radio rather than to try and make sense of the internet feeds. He really does give a complete description of the action plus interesting side comments. I feel like I am there.
I sure would like to know what Scott Wong said to the middles and Nikki during the intermission to transform the blocking game. It gives me hope that UH can win out on Senior weekend.
40. — Did Passi make the trip ? Looks like Huff was the only one who didn’t play, per the box score yesterday ?
Yeah, how come Huff didn’t see playing time?
65. I’ll pass along the kind words. thought he sounded pretty good. but my connection kept going out while I was at the office.
66. all Shoji told me was the made some blocking adjustments. Maglio was able to help with that. His cell connection was pretty bad too so I wasn’t able to get much info. perhaps that was the problem with GT and BWTV and radio connection.
40. 67. No Passi did not make the trip. Gametracker usually puts up the entire roster. And sometimes they give people playing time that didn’t get in.
Huff did not play.
The Hawaii Athletics site, Women’s Volleyball, Schedule/Results’ Box Score lists No. 3 Keani Passi as having played in one set. Maybe they got the number wrong. Should have been No. 5 instead.
Iowa St. & Minnesota look like “bubble” teams…Do they make it in because they’re hosting? How deep will the committee go in the Pac-12? Does Utah make it in?
70. the box will be updated. It was noticed last night and CP sent UH the revised box earlier today. No. 5 (Huff) did not play in either match.
Was not at Cal Poly match but was at the UCSB match. My wife pointed out that Nikiki Taylor was starting to hold/rub her right arm/elbow in the latter part of that match. It may have contributed to the poor hitting percent last night in spite of her triple double. Hope she is okay.
She should be fine. The trainer is on it with the post match treatments and continued monitoring. She took a lot of swings in the two matches and ended up blocking more than she’s had to. Just how the opponents lined up.
taylor rubbing her elbow isn’t a new thing … she’s been doing that at times during the course of a match since the brace came off.
if this ever gets restored
