Warrior Beat: Curran update

By Stephen Tsai on January 1, 2019

Representatives for Bobby Curran have been assured that UH’s radio play-by-play announcer will not be charged over an incident that occurred last week. Curran, 63, was arrested following a confrontation with his 15-year-old son. His attorney termed it as an argument that escalated into a wrestling match. There were no reported serious injuries. Curran said he will discuss the matter at 7:30 a.m. Thursday during his daily radio show on KKEA 1420-AM. Curran, who has been on vacation for more […]

UH resolves to keep it rolling into 2019

By Brian McInnis on December 31, 2018

Happy New Year, all. The Hawaii basketball team concluded its nonconference schedule in reasonably successful fashion, going 2-1 in the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic and surviving a challenge from Alabama A&M in the nonleague finale on Saturday. So how does UH’s 9-5 record stack up to the rest of the Big West? As you’ll recall, the Rainbow Warriors were picked to finish sixth in the nine-team league in the preseason of 2018-19. Besides highly successful nonconference runs for UC […]

Stansberry talks the talk against Alabama A&M

By Brian McInnis on December 29, 2018

Eddie Stansberry shot the shot. He proved he could talk the talk, too. Perhaps inspired by the return of chatterbox teammate Sheriff Drammeh, the usually mild-mannered Stansberry exchanged some good-natured smack talk with Alabama A&M players late in Hawaii’s 71-63 win over the Bulldogs to close out nonconference play with a 9-5 record. The junior college transfer had career highs of 26 points and six 3-pointers. In the final minutes, he and Jack Purchase combined to squelch a 9-0 AAMU […]

Game Day: UH vs. Alabama A&M

By Stephen Tsai on December 29, 2018

The Rainbow Warriors wrap up their pre-conference schedule with tonight’s game against Alabama A&M. For the ‘Bows, this game will lead to a much-needed period of practices and rest. As head coach Eran Ganot noted, not many student-athletes have played on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas. The Bulldogs have struggled the past several years. They finished last among 351 Division I teams the previous two seasons. They are 1-11 this season — they upset Tulane a week ago — and 6-66 […]

Warriors picked No. 2 in Big West preseason poll

By Cindy Luis on December 28, 2018

Defending national champion Long Beach State was picked to repeat as Big West men’s volleyball champ. The 49es received all six first-place votes, for 36 points. Hawaii was at No. 2 (28 points), UC Irvine at 3 (16) followed by UCSB (16), CSUN (11) and UC San Diego (9). Hawaii will be the host of the 2019 Big West Tournament. The Rainbow Warriors were 19-8 and No. 5 in the final AVCA poll but missed out on an at-large bid […]

Warrior Beat: “Next!”

By Stephen Tsai on December 26, 2018

Don’t touch the panic button. C’mon, I know you think it’s calling you, like a freshly painted park bench. But step away. Here’s why: > Anxiety: John Ursua is leaving. > Reason for calm: Scout Bowls … team sessions … it doesn’t matter. In competitive situations, Kumoku Noa makes big plays. Lots of big plays. Fast cleats, soft hands, deceptive toughness. Noa can play inside and outside. He redshirted this season to take care of business. He’s ready for a […]

Crunching Numbers: Battle of “island” teams

By Dave Reardon on December 26, 2018

Ever see a basketball game where the teams had the same number of assists, turnovers and rebounds? If you watched Hawaii’s 68-60 win against Rhode Island on Christmas in the final day of the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic you have. Assists: 10 for both. Turnovers: 11 for both. Rebounds: 35 for both. Even the offensive-defensive split for the caroms was identical at 11-24. I had to look at the stat sheet a couple of times to make sure it […]
