    • Back-to-back scheduling forces teams to play the same opponent twice in consecutive days, eliminating the buildup between matchups

    • International players dominate many starting lineups in NCAA men's volleyball, raising questions about American player development
    • American volleyball development lags behind European counterparts that use academy systems with more frequent, specialized training
    • Hawaii vs. Long Beach State this weekend is the most anticipated matchup of the regular season with major NCAA tournament implications
    • The coaches predict Long Beach will likely win at least one match, with Nikolov expected to excel in the high-pressure environment
