Louisiana Tech coach Skip Holtz expressed concern about his team’s offensive production, referring to the inconsistency to the “elephant in the room.” After that, both teams prepared for their penultimate practice — the Warriors’ at the Ching facility, the Bulldogs’ at Aloha Stadium. Former UH quarterback Bryant Moniz and his 1-year-old […]
It had that new car smell. Lighting, acoustics, temperature, playing surface, shot clocks, cameras, you name it. The new and improved Gym II was an upgrade in all facets over the previous version of itself. The Hawaii men’s basketball team became the first outfit to use the refurbished, climate-controlled facility this afternoon. “Unbelievable,” was the general takeaway from the players and coaches. The place looked pretty accurate to the mock-up (if you click that link, scroll down for the photo) […]

UPDATE PART II: UH was routed 73-48 by Megan Huff and Utah in the Duel title game. UPDATE PART III: UH lost a tough one in overtime at Nevada to cap off the three-game road trip.

The drama on the court was over quickly Sunday. Truthfully, it never was there to begin with against punchless Mississippi Valley State, which rates No. 350 of 353 Division I teams on KenPom.com.
