The first Hawaii men’s basketball press conference since the season-opening Outrigger Resorts Rainbow Classic did not provide much in the way of new information about head coach Eran Ganot’s condition or a timetable of a return to the sidelines. Acting head coach Chris Gerlufsen, who has proven adept at media obligations over the last week, did not have a update when asked about a possible Ganot return from his medical leave. “No, we’re trying to take it day by day,” […]
The Hawaii men’s basketball team made its one and only (so far) signing official on the first day of National Letter of Intent signing day Wednesday, while the Hawaii women’s basketball team put together a second straight large haul in the fall. UH officially announced the signing of 6-foot-6 guard Beon Ja Riley, who’d previously announced his commitment to the Rainbow Warriors. Worth noting that it was just “Beon Riley,” with no “Ja” in today’s announcement. Eran Ganot, who’s been […]
Eddie Stansberry, who poured in a career-high-tying 26 points and put his team ahead briefly with a late four-point play, immediately volunteered this about another moment of Hawaii’s 72-67 win over Pacific to cap the Outrigger Rainbow Classic on Monday night. “Game-winning play.” >> PHOTO GALLERY: HAWAII VS. PACIFIC He was referring to point guard Drew Buggs’ sprint and dive to retrieve a loose ball that Buggs and center Mate Colina collaborated to knock away from Tigers guard Justin Moore […]
The ‘Bows use a 14-2 run to surge past Pacific for a 72-67 victory in tonight’s Outrigger Resorts Rainbow Classic. Trailing 62-60, Eddie Stansberry hit a 3 while falling to the court, and then hit the ensuing free throw to complete the four-point play. It was tied at 64, when Drew Buggs drove the lane and fed Zigmars Raimo for the layup. Later, Pacific’s Jeremiah Bailey hit a 3 to cut the deficit to 68-67. The Tigers then called a […]
There’s a rare Monday night game for the Hawaii men’s basketball team tonight to kick off a relatively light week of action — especially as home events go — in this edition of the Rainbow Forecast. The No. 18 Rainbow Wahine volleyball team (22-3, 12-2 Big West) is off from games this week after winning at UC Davis and UC Riverside in convincing fashion. UH enjoys a half-game lead over Cal Poly (11-2), but also owns the tiebreaker with two games […]
Only four times last year did Eddie Stansberry convert more 2-point field goals than 3-point field goals in a game. Four out of 30 games played. So far in 2019-20, the Hawaii senior shooting guard is 1-for-2 in that respect. Stansberry showed off a more well-rounded game in busting out of a brief season-opening slump on Sunday night against South Dakota, scoring all of his 21 points in the second half. However, the Rainbow Warriors came up short, 81-75, when […]
South Dakota held off a frenetic Hawaii rally for an 81-75 victory. The Coyotes won for the second time in as many rounds to clinch the Outrigger Resorts Rainbow Classic title. The tournament concludes tomorrow. The ‘Bows, who trailed by nine at the half, closed to 72-70 but could not cut the deficit further. Eddie Stansberry, who was scoreless in the firs half, finished with 21 points. * * * * * Eddie Stansberry has been one of UH’s few […]
Behind a career-high 15 points and nine rebounds from junior Samuta Avea and an effective debut for freshman Bernardo da Silva, the Hawaii men’s basketball team was victorious in its 2019-20 season opener over Florida A&M, 65-52 on Friday night at the Stan Sheriff Center. Da Silva, a 6-foot-9 Brazilian who played prep ball at the Wasatch Academy in Utah, scored 11 points, grabbed seven rebounds and had an emphatic pair of blocked shots for UH. >> PHOTO GALLERY: HAWAII […]
