Gameday: at UC Irvine
By Brian McInnis on February 19, 2015Can Hawaii recapture the magic at UC Irvine? The Rainbow Warriors will likely have to do it shorthanded, although there’s a chance Benjy Taylor could get some minutes from both Aaron Valdes and Mike Thomas. Isaac Fleming is still doubtful. However, the second-place Anteaters could be pretty shorthanded as well. The 7-foot-6 Mamadou Ndiaye has played in only two Big West games with foot problems, though he’s supposedly nearing a return. Alex Young went out with a foot injury against […]

By Brian McInnis on August 1, 2014You get your fair share of trash talking and complaining about calls in the College Summer League — and that’s just from the coaches. Then again, some guys just go out and play.
Musings on Shamburger
By Brian McInnis on April 15, 2014Well, if you haven’t heard by now, Hawaii point guard Keith Shamburger is picking up his ball and going home. If you drew up a list of likely candidates to leave early right after the conclusion of the 2013-14 season, Shamburger wouldn’t have been near the top; his starting job seemed relatively secure. But now UH heads into the fall requiring a new starting ballhandler for the fourth straight year. Less than two weeks ago, Shamburger was hyping up some […]

A fateful defeat
By Brian McInnis on February 28, 2014Another agonizing defeat in The Pyramid for did one thing for Hawaii — it helped shape the Big West Conference tournament picture quite a bit. After Thursday’s 63-61 setback at Long Beach State, fourth-place UH (19-9, 8-6 Big West) will very likely remain in fourth with two games still to play, trailing co-second-place teams LBSU and UC Santa Barbara (9-4) by two in the loss column. The Rainbow Warriors are up two games on Cal State Northridge and Cal Poly, […]
Road Warriors
By Brian McInnis on February 17, 2014Raise your hand if you thought Hawaii would have a better conference road record (4-2) than home (3-2) coming down the stretch of Big West play. That’s reality, and it’s certainly the first time in recent years that is the case. UH has a record active streak of four away games in a row coming off wins at UC Riverside and Cal State Fullerton last week. The second-half execution at Fullerton wasn’t perfect, but you have to credit the Rainbow […]
