Hawaii saw a four-game winning streak in its series against UC Santa Barbara snapped in painful fashion on Thursday. What happens today to UH’s four-game streak vs. Cal Poly today at Mott Athletics Center? UH (12-13, 6-6 BWC) can position itself to make a run back at the top three or four in the conference if it can rebound from one of its worst losses of the season. The 5 p.m. (HST) contest is on BigWest.TV for the second time […]

UH can make it three in a row away from home if it can best UC Santa Barbara at the 5,600-seat Thunderdome today.

UH is shooting for its third straight season sweep of CSUN, but that could be quite a challenge.
UC Riverside may have found something of a rhythm in the Stan Sheriff Center, having won there twice in a row. Hawaii can return the favor today at Riverside’s SRC Arena.
