A Chaminade-Virginia reflection
By Brian McInnis on November 23, 2015The Maui Invitational is pretty good about spotlighting figures from the historic Chaminade-Virginia game of 1982. For good reason — the event wouldn’t exist without that 77-72 game on Dec. 23, 1982 game at the Blaisdell Arena, which some consider the biggest college hoops upset ever.

This year, the tournament got Virginia’s […]
Gameday: Nicholls State
By Brian McInnis on November 22, 2015The latest “Star Wars Night” is upon us. Oh yeah, and Hawaii takes on Nicholls State at the Stan Sheriff Center.

It’s a matchup of a team that’s been to the last two NCAA Tournaments but lost a couple of key components, against a UH team that has its nucleus back and wants to get to the NCAA stage. It’ll be interesting to see how many minutes Roderick Bobbitt gets tonight. UH leaned heavily on him in […]
Gameday: Montana State
