Hawaii Warriors NCAA Basketball News

The last time Hawaii played at UC Irvine, Bob Nash did the dirty work himself. That was in February 1972; the Rainbow Warriors rolled to an 88-79 victory behind Nash and the Fabulous Five to begin a seven-game winning streak.

The University of Hawai'i men's basketball team will be carrying some heavy baggage when it departs for its first road trip of the season today.

Appropriate for Black Friday, the University of Hawai'i men's basketball team will use a reduced lineup to try and make up for its previous losses.

Darington Hobson scored 21 points, and New Mexico remained undefeated by beating Hawaii 83-71 on Friday night.

Nothing seems to come easy for the University of Hawai'i men's basketball team these days.

The Hawaii men's basketball team has its appetite back. Some untimely mental malaise by the Rainbow Warriors in last Friday's 83-65 blowout home loss to BYU ran its course over the weekend.

Jimmer Fredette scored a game-high 20 points, leading four starters in double figures, as the BYU Cougars dismissed the Hawaii Warriors, 83-65, in non-conference action at the Stan Sheriff Center.

Above, BYU's head coach Dave Rose's reaction at the end of the game. The BYU Cougars deeated Idaho State University 87-53 during their game Tuesday at the Marriott Center.

So much for a renewed rivalry. The University of Hawai'i men's basketball team appeared uninspired in an 83-65 loss to Brigham Young last night.

Maybe it's a good thing that Brigham Young is not so much of a heated rival of the University of Hawai'i any more.

One thing concerned Bob Nash most in Hawaii's loss to Northern Colorado in the championship of the 46th Outrigger Hotels Rainbow Classic early yesterday morning.

For Hawaii to make some noise in the Western Athletic Conference this season, the Rainbow Warriors will have to go postal.

The University of Hawai'i men's basketball team improved to 2-0 this season with a 73-65 victory over McNeese State today.

A revamped Rainbow Classic will be a fitting way for the revamped University of Hawai'i men's basketball team to open the 2009-10 season.

Hawaii center Douglas Kurtz must sit out the Rainbow Warriors' first six games because he played three games in a professional league in his native Brazil in 2007.

Once again, the fortunes of the Hawaii men's basketball team fall primarily on the broad shoulders of senior swingman Roderick Flemings.

Time to settle the debate. Who is the best basketball team on the island -- Hawaii or Division II's top-ranked squad, Brigham Young-Hawaii? Granted, tonight's 7:05 p.m. exhibition contest at the Stan Sheriff Center is worthy of an asterisk.

University of Hawaii senior forward Bill Amis will be sidelined indefinitely with a foot injury.
