WBB and Loyola Marymount – The last time the WBB team played LMU was in the 2015-16 season at home. Wahine won 65-51. However, with the road, the year before that. Hawaii triumphed 85-76. Now…I don’t know what their record was with LMU, but that’s all I can muster up for the lions.

WBB and Pepperdine – It’s a tough game to play, especially because it’s in Malibu. However, like you said, if Atwell and Rewers can somehow be the spine to the offense, and Tago, Middap and Alexander provide the spark, then this will be a good win. It’ll be a 50-50 game to see.

MBB and Portland State – Should be an interesting marquee matchup. Portland State last year finished 16-16, but lost to Weber State in the Big Sky Tournament. This feels like a trap game if you ask me, especially because I’m not sure how good they are they this year. They did just recently have lost to Indiana, 74-85. So…not sure how tricky this will be for them.

Hawaii and UNLV – Now, it’s safe to say that UNLV hasn’t been the same team that Sanchez probably would have wanted to see, given the progression prior when Rolo first came to Hawaii. But this year, his team is pretty much is hitting the bottom of the barrel. UNLV against conference foes fork over 228 rushing yards per game and 223.4 passing yards per game. Safe to say that Hawaii could pretty much play havoc with the passing game because they average over 400 yards on that statistic (416 passing yards per game). Now, Hawaii, their last 3 matches, they scored 616 yards rushing (205.3 yards ppg), which emphasizes that they’re making progress with the run game. So that’s the good news. Bad news…do they have enough to winnow down UNLV in Las Vegas despite the passing game numbers? Could be seeing another gritty down-to-the-wire game, and hope that Fresno State can upset San Diego State for us to get that chance if we win.
