Gameday: Cal State Northridge
By Brian McInnis on February 27, 2016Behind what has the makings of a rocking “White-out” crowd, Hawaii looks poised to respond from Thursday’s disappointing home loss to UC Riverside on senior night tonight against Cal State Northridge.

Hawaii leads it 32-26 at CSUN’s Matadome at halftime despite committing 11 turnovers in the period and missing Aaron Valdes for this game with flu-like symptoms. (Yes, Hawaii STILL can’t get everyone on the court at once.) CSUN isn’t whole, either. Starting center Olalekan Ajayi was a scratch while dealing with the concussion protocol from the Matadors’ last game. UH has so far capitalized on the interior with 11 […]
