Gaucho oucho

By Brian McInnis on February 3, 2019

There are setbacks, and then there’s what happened to Hawaii on Saturday night. UC Santa Barbara thoroughly demolished the Rainbow Warriors in the second half in rolling to a 75-54 road victory, turning what was a battle for temporary top-three standing in the Big West into a referendum on who can and can’t compete for a title in the conference. The lackluster way UH played, and as sound as Santa Barbara was at both ends, led one to believe that […]

Bench mobs Long Beach State

By Brian McInnis on February 1, 2019

Long Beach State made its presence felt from the get-go on Thursday night. So did the officiating crew. Yet it was Hawaii that prevailed in the Big West clash, 74-57, thanks to a relentless effort from its bench players. The stat of the night: 35 bench points for the hosts, 10 for the visitors. This was a night in which shooting came at a premium for both teams, UH shooting just north of 40 percent and LBSU just under it. […]

Warrior Beat: Retro Night

By Stephen Tsai on January 31, 2019

It was 25 seasons ago when the Rainbow Warriors ended a drought and upset BYU in the WAC title game to earn a berth in the 1994 NCAA Tournament. It was a time when Jamie Dixon was the third assistant coach, Tony Maroney was a true back-to-the-basket 7-foot center, Phil Handy was a tough-as-rails defender, John Molle riled opponents’ fans while earning his own theme song (“Mo-lay, Mo-lay,” a parody of Buster Poindexter’s “Hot, Hot, Hot” chorus) and, of course, […]
