The recent 3-point binge of the Hawaii women’s basketball team has led to what could be the most prolific outside-shooting season in program history. Not one, but two Hawaii women’s basketball players could — and will very likely — soon surpass the program record for 3-pointers in a season, with Julissa Tago positioned to possibly do it as soon as Thursday’s home game against Cal State Northridge. Tago, the senior guard who is at No. 4 in Rainbow Wahine career 3s […]
All five of Hawaii’s primary spring spectator sports are in action this week, plus some others. The No. 1 UH men’s volleyball team (12) and Rainbow Wahine basketball team (five) put some significant win streaks on the line. The volleyballers head to the Bay Area to face No. 11 Stanford in a two-match set, while the Wahine host always-competitive Cal State Northridge. UH men’s basketball has two marquee home matchups in Long Beach State on Wednesday and league leader UC […]
Every time you looked back at your screen on Thursday, Amadou Sow was rising up for a dunk or a layup. Occasionally even a 3-point shot. The UC Santa Barbara big man had his way of things, shooting 12-for-13 for 30 points in a 76-66 Gauchos win over Hawaii at the Thunderdome. While the Rainbow Warriors’ three 7-footers held down the fort at home when UH beat UCSB 70-63 at the Stan Sheriff Center, you could tell UH was lacking […]

If you’re one of the diehards, check out what’s offered below and plan accordingly. Meanwhile, the UH basketball teams take to the […]
A feel-good evening of basketball on Saturday produced some lasting effects for the Hawaii men’s and women’s basketball teams on Monday. The Rainbow Warriors and Wahine pulled off a shooting guard sweep as Eddie Stansberry and Julissa Tago were named the Big West men’s and women’s players of the week. Stansberry and Tago combined to score 41 points and go 8-for-20 on 3-pointers for their teams in Saturday’s doubleheader sweep of Long Beach State (68-44 for the Wahine, who won […]
Saturday’s basketball doubleheader was a tale of two starkly different games. Where one cruised to an easy finish, the other required every last second of the game clock. But the end results intersected where needed; with a win for Hawaii basketball. The Hawaii women’s basketball team kicked things up with the first game of the day, wrapping up a two-game conference homestand at the Stan Sheriff Center with a convincing 68-44 win over the Long Beach State 49ers. >> PHOTO […]
In the moment, you got the feeling that it was something that hadn’t been seen in some time. UH kept scoring and scoring on Thursday night against UC Irvine, to the point that the Rainbow Wahine did something not seen in nearly two decades. They cracked 90 points against a Division I team. The 94-70 outburst was the program’s highest point total since a 97-88 overtime win over SMU on March 9, 2001. It was the second time UH racked […]
In a statistical onslaught such as the University of Hawaii women’s basketball team’s 94-70 crushing on UC Irvine on Thursday, the shiny objects are the shooting numbers — especially from 3-point range. The Wahine made 14-of-28 from beyond the arc, and it seemed like more. It is the fifth time this year UH has made 10 or more 3-pointers. And in those games, Hawaii is 4-1. Julissa Tago, who made five of 13, is moving up the all-time long-range shooting […]
