UH volleyball: No TV for today's NCAA match

Advertiser Staff

There will be no telecast of today's University of Hawaii women's volleyball match against Tennessee State in the NCAA subregional in Louisville, Ky.

No stations bid for the rights to telecast the match.

Reportedly, broadcasting the WAC Tournament from Las Cruces, N.M., cost $78,000 and this week would have cost much more.

If Hawai'i advances, most likely there will be no live TV next week either, but ESPN will show regional finals on a delay basis.

"Obviously, it's not feasible to do," UH coach Dave Shoji said. "You can't expect someone take a loss because people want to see it.

"Listen to the radio."

Today's match starts at 11 a.m. and will be aired live on 1420 AM.

All Hawai'i postseason matches will be carried live on 1420 AM.
