[@mauricecarlisle9091]

CHEEEEHOOO RIGHT ON BOYZ WAY TO FINISH THE SEASON AND CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERY MEMBER OF THE TEAM🤙🏾

[@spacelemur7955]

Back when I played (1970s), it was always a California team in the finals, and that won it. It's nice to see it become more competitive nationally.

[@perrypksam]

Hawaii played great. I was impressed with #1 freshman he could jump and had a pretty killer serve

[@forme3h]

YASSSS YASSSS YASSSS! Go BOWs! Cheering from Oahu!!!

[@redninja1133]

They finally won! 3-4 years in the making.

[@808aaq]

What happened BYU?!?! It's like they never showed up but with that said, Congrats to the UH Rainbow Warriors! They played all aspects of the game to perfection! You guys definitely deserve it! You guys made everyone here in Hawaii PROUD! CONGRATS AGAIN!!!! Now to celebrate!!!! GO BOWS!!!!🎆🏆🌈🏐🌴🔥🙌👏🤙💪❤

[@username15yearsago52]

BYU started very nice. Blocking, hitting well but as the match gone on. Hawaii's serving pressure was too much for them. They just couldn't pass so the hitter had a hard time scoring and when they got the sideout, they miss it in to the nets. I feel like the energy was off, kind of gave up midway through the 2nd set. Hawaii really served well and transitioned well.

[@jimmycmartinez]

You should watch the BYU vs Hawaii game, March 2020!! I was expecting that level of excitement!!!!

[@leoisasian00]

Can't wait to see BYU with Keoni vs Hawaii this season

Great Job...Ya got it done... "NCAA CHAMPIONS"

@ncaa where’s the merch???????

[@matchaT808]

CONGRATS BOWS!! NATIONAL CHAMPS!

[@PochoNieves]

One thing I noticed from Hawaii in comparison with other teams is their reliance on international players. Big time recruiting from Puerto Rico, Brazil, Israel and Europe. I don't remember the last time they had an all CONUS and just Hawaii starting line up.

[@hankakah4180]

There is one thing many people don't realize in UH teams in ALL sports. The major conferences SEC, Big Ten, Pac 12, Big 12 ACC, get all the top 5 star recruits. Everyone thinks how hard is it to recruit for Hawaii? Nice weather, the scenery, etc. But think of why people go to prestigious Colleges and Universities? First of all, a degree from Stanford, or UCLA compared to a degree from UH. A School offers you a scholarship that is worth $40k a year, whereas Hawaii is at $10k a year. The parents have a say in this decision as well. The Hawaii games are at 6 or 7 pm, it's already midnight on the East coast, 10pm on the west coast. Lot of recruits want to play in front of family and friends. Family can't come here without paying tons of money for a family of 4, hotel, car, plane fare, time to travel. People have to stay up till 3 in the morning to watch the football game on Cable on the East coast IF they carry the game at all! People on the mainland can DRIVE to some games. The UH football team as an example gets 1 to 2 star recruits and walk ons, while all the major colleges get the 5 star recruits. That is why they have a lot of international players, for one, many of these later play in professional leagues in Europe, and playing for a College team gives them experience. The International players already have a time difference whether they go to the mainland USA or Hawaii, and for some, it might be closer to go from Hawaii to Europe through Asia, than going across the Pacific, across the whole USA, across the Atlantic, to Europe. Some of these international players play for their junior Olympic teams, so they are good and have experience. Being that the USA doesn't have a pro-volleyball league is the reason why so many players from the mainland lack in many of the skills that International players grow up playing the sport. Here's a clue, lot of the local Hawaii players are recruited and playing for other major conference and mainland teams for many of the reasons I just mentioned.

Man, what happened to the BYU that swept Hawaii just before the pandemic? The rosters are the same...

[@masterbulgokov]

So funny when announcers say "Best 3 out of 5 sets." Why do they say "best"? It could be "worst", so long as you won. It's just "3 out of 5 sets".
