Destiny King was assessed a technical foul in the first quarter.

I think the officials, if they’re familiar with her, finally got tired of all her eye-rolling and gesticulations.

She reminds me of Petras Balocka.

Why wouldn’t he simply transfer to another Division I program, or play right away at the Division II or the NAIA level?

But no, he turned pro, not by default; he really believes that playing for the Halifax Hurricanes is his best option to realize those professional basketball dreams.

According to Webster-Chan, he left Hawaii because the small forward wanted to play his natural position: shooting guard.

His current Halifax stats: 1.4 ppg. in 11 games.

My god. These student-athletes get some awful advice.

If Webster-Chan remained with Hawaii, maybe Coach Ganot could have redshirted Sherrif Drammeh, who looks as if he could have used a year to get up to speed. At some point, I’m sure Webster-Chan would have gotten some minutes at shooting guard.

Maybe the subtraction of Issac Fotu and Webster-Chan improved team chemistry, which has led to this un-Hawaii-like start of 15-2(in reality, the computers acknowledge them as 13-2), but what if they bought into Ganot’s Gaels 2.0 system?

The imagination runs wild.

I’m thinking, with the roster that Gib Arnold intended, this team could have been loaded; a Sweet Sixteen possibility.

As is, I still believe this team can go where no men’s basketball team has gone before.

They need to keep winning.

They need somebody from the mainland media to fight for us, the little guys.

C’mon, Dick Vitale. I still remember you lauding the front court tandem of Anthony Carter and Alika Smith in an ESPN segment.

The AP voters probably did Hawaii a favor. By being under the radar, a team like UC-Davis won’t be quite as jacked up come Saturday night to bring “us” down.

Hawaii couldn’t be facing a better team at home. Very beatable. Playing only one game, Hawaii can sit back and enjoy watching the competition beat up on each other during the week.

Aaron Valdez, playing on Saturday or not, will tell me a lot about his future plans. I have nothing against him. I understand that if he wants to transfer, he wants to be as healthy as possible.

If our core returnees transfer, I hope it’s to a high major, and those potential teams will be teams I will root for.

It would be hard to take if they transferred to a Seattle U. or Delaware State.

Gib Arnold: the man could recruit.

Even his bust, Manroop Clair, is having himself a nice season in Washington state. He is over 40% from three-point range.

And what is going on? A major rock figure is going to die every Monday from now on.
