Comments on: How have ‘Bows fared at Pac-12 schools? https://www.hawaiiwarriorworld.com/court-sense/how-have-bows-fared-at-pac-12-schools/ Fri, 30 Nov 2018 22:28:28 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Matt https://www.hawaiiwarriorworld.com/court-sense/how-have-bows-fared-at-pac-12-schools/#comment-2694642 Thu, 29 Nov 2018 22:49:38 +0000 http://www.hawaiiwarriorworld.com/?p=47651#comment-2694642 Well…what were we expecting? We’re not that capable of handling situational road tests in the Pac-12 or anywhere in the Big 10/Big 12. It’s just that we’re getting outclassed in all facets. The Big West is always a step behind almost every other conference (From ACC, Big East, SEC, Big 10, Big 12, and Pac-12). It seems that they always get the best recruits possible for NBA potential. Only one I believe in the BWC is part of the NBA, David Nwaba of Cal Poly. But nothing else after that. It’s hard for us to be a talented program in the BWC when Irvine takes the full glory.

It was just Troy Ostler.

I wish he blocked the shots in-bounds, though. He was always whacking it into the bench or stands.

It was their first post-season appearance since the pre-Larry Little era.

In defense of the late Larry Little, there were no conference tournaments and no chance at an at-large bid to the NIT because the NCAA Tournament was a field of either 48 or 32. I’m not sure how many teams played in the NIT.

He had a 17-10 team. With 64, now 68 teams in the “Big Dance”, Hawaii would have broken their post-season-less string sooner.

The vast majority of the games were played from the early 50s to the late 70s, Rainbow Basketball was a lot better in the 80s and 90s.
