UH basketball: Coleman out for season; Hepa to miss game

Worse came to worst for the Rainbow Warrior basketball team with the announcement that leading scorer Noel Coleman will miss the rest of the season because of a fractured orbital. The condition is so fragile that even a face shield would not offer enough protection. Coleman, a guard, is averaging 14.8 points on 44.1% 3-point shooting.

Coleman is the third ‘Bow out with a season-ending injury. During the preseason, Samuta Avea and point guard Juan Munoz underwent surgeries for season-ending injuries.

Also, Kamaka Hepa will miss tonight’s game because of a family matter on the mainland.
