Here's a game summary from the Advertiser.

And oh by the way, the Advertiser reports that the Stan Sheriff Center is hosting a BCS selection party tomorrow. Everyone is invited!

Sheriff Center gates will open at 2:15 p.m. and fans are expected to be seated by 2:50 p.m., for the program which starts at 3 p.m., UH said.

Admission is free and UH officials say they would like to fill the 10,300-seat arena much as Boise State did for their BCS announcement last year.

UH coach June Jones, Warrior players, cheerleaders, Rainbow Dancers and pep band will take part.

The bowl pairings, which likely would send UH to the Allstate Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, will be revealed in the 40-minute program that follows Fox's NFL coverage at 3 p.m. Hawai'i time. Fox will televise four of the five BCS bowls, including the Jan. 1 Sugar Bowl.

UPDATE 2: Via ESPN, here's an AP wrap-up.

And here's a slightly different AP wrap-up from CBS Sportsline.

UPDATE 3: Here's an instant analysis of the game by CFN's Matt Zemek.

Saturday night's heartstopper against the Huskies represented the latest in a long line of white-knuckle victories for Hawaii, as this talented team once again showed that its considerable athleticism is actually exceeded by its uncommon mental toughness. On a night when the Warriors stared down a 21-point deficit and faced the prospect of a somewhat ruined season, a team with so much at stake found the focus needed to avoid a descent into panic. On a night when West Virginia cracked under tremendous pressure, the Warriors pulled another close win out of the fire. It was truly just another day in paradise for a team that has earned every blessing that has come its way.

While Washington once again lost a game it had been dominating (the Huskies fell victim to a number of similar setbacks in 2007), Hawaii demonstrated its ability to continuously prevail when other weaker teams would have flinched and faltered. If a college ever offered a course on "learning how to win football games," only one school would earn an A-plus after 12 regular-season games: yes, it's the University of Hawaii. Now, the prize student of this just-completed regular season will likely have the chance to pass a challenging final exam: in the Sugar Bowl against a very formidable SEC opponent that will be named in roughly 16 hours.
