Penn St. still playing strong taking down MIVA powerhouse OSU, then St. Francis comes in to do the same, but is our panel convinced that the Nittany Lions can continue to flex their muscle?
Hawaii-- are they still a formidable top-5 team? Even amid the Hawaii/Lewis matchup, one thing is clear-- the SSC crowd and Hawaii fans make for an incredible experience.
The guys then tangent off to an "altitude vs. elevation" digression mentioning the conspiracy of altitude and serving problems.
Finally, the CVW crew then discusses the upset of the top 2 teams in the polls: First, UCI's upset of #2 Long Beach St., then Stanford's upset of #1 UCLA.

Week 8 brought us seven, 5-set decisions with five of those happening on Saturday night 2/26. Grand Canyon of the MPSF won their first ever match at Smith Fieldhouse, then did it again 2 nights later. #5 USC and #7 Pepperdine had great battles, and there is no doubt they will see each other in the Conference Tournament in a heated battle. The MIVA is well, getting complicated. Multiple teams are vying for the top spot while Penn St. was pressed by NJIT.
The guys end the episode taking on a couple of fan questions that don't involved the firing of Dan of Lewis. Yes, he had a tough week last week...
