UH hoops practice preview

By Brian McInnis on September 24, 2013

Practice? Y’all want to talk about practice? Already? Believe it or not (I can’t), it’s that time again, ladies and gents. The Hawaii men’s basketball team starts up full practices for the 2013-14 season on Friday — a good two and a half weeks ahead of the traditional start to practices of past seasons around Oct. 15. The NCAA bumped up the time coaches get to spend with their players before the season, giving them 30 days of full practices […]

2013 Summer League postmortem

By Brian McInnis on August 13, 2013

As College Summer Leagues go, this one was quite memorable. The crowds were consistently good, there was always someone or something interesting to watch on a nightly basis, and you couldn’t have asked for a better venue for the playoffs at Maryknoll’s new gym. Now that the 37th running of the league is over and Julian Sensley and Wealth Strategy Partners won the championship (88-78 over top-seeded Central Medical Clinic on Saturday), let’s look back at how the 2013-14 University […]

Summer league final set

By Brian McInnis on August 9, 2013

We have our title match in place. In the first of two College Summer League semifinals at Maryknoll, Julian Sensley uncorked a vintage 33-point performance to lead Wealth Strategy Partners over defending champion Solar Universe, 94-86. In the second semi, top-seeded Central Medical Clinic was surgical late in an 85-67 win over Clark Hatch Fitness. Bill Amis scored 21 points in the victory, in which CMC had to rally from an eight-point halftime deficit. No. 1 Central Medical Clinic (8-3) […]

Semifinal storylines

By Brian McInnis on August 8, 2013

It’s just about time for the College Summer League semifinals at Maryknoll. In Game 1 at 6 p.m., defending champion and second-seeded Solar Universe takes on No. 3 Wealth Strategy Partners. Summer league watchers will recall these two teams got into it a bit the first of two times they met. (More on that below. However, the second meeting just a week ago was uneventful, a Wealth Strategy win against shorthanded Solar.) At full strength, Solar has plenty of players […]

They're (getting) here

By Brian McInnis on July 6, 2013

At least some of the new and returning Hawaii hoops players will be in action tonight at the Manoa Park Gym for the College Summer League. It’s not 100 percent certain which players will and won’t be there Saturday night, but at least some should. Based on the initial league rosters, the Rainbow Warriors who might be watchable tonight are: 6 p.m. game, Wealth Strategy Partners vs. Grantco Pacific: Caleb Dressler 7:30 game, National Fire Protection vs. Central Medical Clinic: […]

Rozitis to return

By Brian McInnis on April 25, 2013

The biggest question mark remaining on the current Hawaii basketball roster finally offered up an answer on Thursday. With a simple “I’m coming back!” message, Davis Rozitis confirmed he’d be around for his senior season in 2013-14, turning the tide (at least for the moment) of early player departures that have plagued the Rainbow Warriors under Gib Arnold. The 7-foot Latvian Rozitis, a popular teammate, will be the only player to play all four years under Arnold since the coach […]

Webster-Chan here, Q. Smith next week

By Brian McInnis on April 12, 2013

Hawaii did some shuffling of its recruit visits with the spring signing day rapidly approaching. Negus Webster-Chan, a 6-7, 200-pound swingman who played for Missouri in 2012-13, is currently on an official visit to UH. Webster-Chan, of Ontario, Canada, averaged 2.5 points and 2.0 rebounds in 15.5 minutes as a Tigers freshman, starting six of 32 contests. He connected on 16 of 59 3-pointers (27.1) percent). He’ll have to sit out a year wherever he ends up, then will have […]

Batter up

By Brian McInnis on April 8, 2013

With Corey Allen and Garrett Nevels come and gone from the islands with those two still undecided on their commitments, Hawaii is set to bring up the next recruit to the plate. City College of San Francisco 6-foot freshman point guard Quincy Smith will take an official visit to UH this weekend, CCSF coach Justin Labach said on Monday. Smith averaged 9.1 points, 3.6 assists and 1.7 turnovers on 46 percent shooting from the field, 74.2 percent from the free-throw […]
