Hawaii men’s basketball: Rainbow Warriors seek streak-buster

By Brian McInnis on February 20, 2020

Will it be tonight? That’s what the Hawaii men’s basketball team has to be asking itself heading into Thursday night’s nationally televised battle with similarly skidding UC Riverside at SRC Arena. Or — perhaps the Rainbow Warriors are telling themselves something to the effect of “it will be tonight.” UPDATE: UH got its streak-buster in dramatic fashion, beating UC Riverside 56-55 after squandering a 17-point second-half lead. The Rainbows’ four-game losing streak has hung over them like a storm cloud […]

Hawaii football: Todd Graham sets titles for complete staff

By Brian McInnis on February 19, 2020

As Todd Graham announced additions to his inaugural Hawaii football staff one by one over the last few weeks, he frequently announced the newcomers as “offensive assistant” or “defensive assistant” without a specific title. That was with the exception of his three coordinator hires; Victor Santa Cruz (defense), G.J. Kinne (offense), and Dan Phillips (special teams) were announced as such at the time of their hiring. With Tuesday’s addition Tony Hull as the last of 10 full-time staff hires, Graham […]

Rainbow Forecast: Washington State to test Hawaii baseball; women’s basketball has first-place showdown; SandBows begin

By Brian McInnis on February 17, 2020

With the exception of the top-ranked Hawaii men’s volleyball team, just about every other spring sport is in action this week. That includes beach volleyball, which opens its 2020 season in the Outrigger Duke Kahanamoku Beach Classic at Queen’s Beach. The SandBows begin at No. 5. Scout the smorgasbord below and pick your spots, because there’s an absolute ton going on — though much of it takes place on the mainland for sports like water polo, swimming and women’s tennis. The […]

Hawaii men’s basketball: Bob Nash puts long journey into perspective on jersey retirement night

By Brian McInnis on February 16, 2020

There was an arena full of people to thank. Bob Nash did his best to get to everyone. “I’ve been blessed. My family’s been blessed. And I really appreciate you,” he told the nearly 6,000 in house as he became the first Hawaii men’s basketball player to have his jersey officially retired at halftime of Saturday night’s contest against UC Irvine. “My wife (Domelynne), sadly she’s not here to see this moment, but I know she’s smiling down on us. […]

Game night: Hawaii vs. UC Irvine

By Stephen Tsai on February 15, 2020

UC Irvine controlled the boards, the pace and then the narrative in 70-63 victory over Hawaii tonight in the Stan Sheriff Center. A crowd of 5,949 — the largest of the season at home — saw the Anteaters hit their first five shots of the second half to widen a 27-26 margin to 40-31. Every time the ‘Bows made a push, the Anteaters responded. Guards Eyassu Worku and Evan Leonard scored 21 and 16 points, respectively, for the Anteaters. Drew […]

Hawaii baseball: Scotty Scott looking to build on Freshman of the Year campaign

By Jonathan Chen on February 15, 2020

Following a lackluster offensive performance by Hawaii in the series opener against North Dakota State, getting the bats going was an obvious priority in Game 2. A new-look lineup responded with 10 runs on 10 hits in a 10-2 beatdown of the Bison on Saturday afternoon. “We’re a really good ball club all the way up and down,” leadoff hitter Scotty Scott said. “Three or four new guys, but they act like they’ve been there. Daylen (Calicdan) got a couple […]

Hawaii men’s basketball: More UH sports legends should receive same honor as Bob Nash

By Dave Reardon on February 15, 2020

The retirement tonight of University of Hawaii basketball great Bob Nash‘s jersey with the number 33 on it (I’ll explain the reason for that awkward wording later) makes me think about what other UH athletes from various sports deserve that honor. For men’s basketball, two come to mind: Anthony Carter (23) and Tom Henderson (14) … (thank you to Rod Aldridge for the reminder of what number his teammate Henderson wore). Maybe No. 14 in football, too? That would be […]
