By Brian McInnis on January 10, 2019

Two opponents have scored 40 points against Hawaii in a Big West game at the Stan Sheriff Center. The first to do it, UC Davis guard Corey Hawkins, did it on just 14 shots from the field in an 11-point Aggies road win in 2013, his sophomore season. He scored 29 and 19 points on his next two visits, both Rainbow Warriors victories. The most recent 40-bomber, Cal State Fullerton guard Kyle Allman Jr., did it last year, rallying the […]

Warrior Beat: Rolo Effect

By Stephen Tsai on January 8, 2019

What was talked about for a while became a reality when Nick Rolovich agreed to a two-year contract extension that will run at least through the 2022 season. Here’s what it means: > Security: Rolo likes UH. UH likes Rolo. It made sense to lengthen a contract that was set to expire at the end of the 2020 season. A fifth year — 2023 — will automatically trigger if the Warriors qualify for a bowl in 2019 or 2020. Rolo […]
