Remembering Mike McIntyre

By Dave Reardon on October 5, 2018

As I reflect on the news of the death of Mike McIntyre in a horrific traffic accident, I remember him as one of the most underrated athletes I’ve been around in 30-plus years of covering University of Hawaii sports. The 2000-01 UH men’s basketball team had players from all over the world. Coach Riley Wallace was ahead of most in coming to realize how players from Europe and other parts of the globe had vastly improved, and he had an […]

Warrior Beat: Jersey accent

By Stephen Tsai on October 5, 2018

As first noted by Brian McInnis last week, the basketball ‘Bows will have the players’ names on the back of their jerseys this coming season. “It’s something we worked toward getting back to,” coach Eran Ganot said after a recent practice. The initial reasoning to not include names was to promote team-first unity. But on reflection, it was decided the basketball jerseys could be used as a way to honor the school, the sponsor and the players’ families. “You know […]

Warrior Beat: It’s go time.

By Stephen Tsai on October 4, 2018

Saturday’s game — actually, halftime of Saturday’s game — is the halfway point of the Warriors’ 13-game regular season. With Wyoming as another rugged opponent, head coach Nick Rolovich is hoping that several developing players, particularly on the defensive line, will be ready if needed. “You want to make sure you’re still growing your roster as far as developing your players and getting them ready,” Rolovich said following today’s two-hour workout. “This is the time when guys have to start […]

Wahine eyeing opportunity

By Brian McInnis on October 4, 2018

UPDATE: UH could not make the most of its opportunity, as it fell 3-2 to Long Beach State on Thursday night. For the moment, forget the Big West tournament. At no point in Hawaii soccer’s seven years in the BWC have the Rainbow Wahine been above .500 in conference play. That can change today, if UH (6-4-1, 1-1 BWC) can get past a team they’ve yet to defeat as a conference member — Long Beach State — in a 7 p.m. televised […]

Warrior Beat: Loss leader

By Stephen Tsai on October 3, 2018

Two fun facts about rush end Kaimana Padello: > Seven of his 11 tackles have been for lost yardage. > He played all 86 defensive snaps in the quintuple-overtime victory over San Jose State. “He’s the hardest worker on the team,” said Jacob Yoro, who coaches the rush ends. “I don’t think anybody can argue that.”

Baseball schedule includes return of the Ducks

By Billy Hull on October 3, 2018

The 2019 University of Hawaii baseball schedule was released on Tuesday with one marquee series returning to Les Murakami Stadium after a four-year absence. UH and Oregon will renew a series that began the season for five consecutive years from 2011 to 2015. The Ducks visited the islands six consecutive seasons overall before the teams took a three-year hiatus in 2016. The UH-Oregon series will be March 7-10 with three night games before a Sunday day game. The Ducks were […]

Football Q&As: Ikem Okeke

By Brian McInnis on October 3, 2018

Hawaii safety Ikem Okeke has a good feeling. The former Bishop Gorman (Nev.) player bounced around several positions over his playing career but has settled in at free safety, where he’s been a mainstay of the Rainbow Warriors’ defense. UH (5-1, 2-0 Mountain West) has never been 3-0 in conference play since joining the MWC in 2012, but that can change this weekend with a strong showing against Wyoming (2-3, 0-1). Okeke gave some of his time after Wednesday’s morning […]
