throughout the year with numerous events, including a parade of returning
alumni, retro games, and more. Keep updated on HawaiiAthletics.com and the UH
men’s basketball Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram accounts for event info,
promotions, and giveaways throughout the year. Fans are also encouraged to use
the hashtag #HawaiiMBB100 on social media to share their favorite memories of
UH basketball.
UH played its first season in 1912, and for the
next three decades played an array of high schools, military, and amateur
squads on island, before facing its first collegiate competition in the late
1930s. Over the course of its first 99 seasons, the program has won 1,136 game
games (839 collegiate wins), advanced to five NCAA tournaments and eight
National Invitation Tournaments.
The 100th edition of UH basketball features
eight returning letterwinners and one redshirt from last year’s 18-13 squad, as
well as six newcomers from the high school, junior college and Division I
ranks. UH will host 20 regular-season home games with 12 non-conference tilts,
highlighted by the 11th annual Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic, one of
the premier eight-team tournaments in the nation. A total of seven dates are
doubleheaders with the women’s team and men’s basketball ticket holders have
free admission to the women’s games on those dates.

Great players, super depth and a much improved schedule. Should be a great year. I almost didn’t post this because it has been like talking to myself lately. Let’s get excited about the basketball centennial. Does anyone know the status of Owen’s request to get his freshman eligibility back. That would be huge.
Sorry, Mostly us crickets ?
Thanks to you & roygibivs, islandman, buff et.al for insightful comments…
Hopin’ This recruiting class has ‘some” experience (D-1, jc & prep school) so might integrate faster;
Hemsley came in real young; he and Samuta have taken awhile to assimilate
(to be fair, if tracking similar to Aaron Valdéz, then one or both could ‘break out’ this coming year…)
The ‘sevens’ should integrate and play more in-system this season;
Lots of good-passing, good-shooting guards…
Bigs, Guards, Now some athleticism and skills…a chance for strong 1 through 5 play
Maybe Climb from a Top 210 to 150 / 100 range team (or better?)
May be Top Three / Four (?) in Conference
And Solid versus outside competition
One more year and class (more like last two or better)
And Ganot should have them competitive elsewhere
Like stealing more road / neutral (Utah) court wins
Suspect this team will be more consistently good than last-year’s Young, Up-Down Team
With less frustration & improved athleticism, crowds should also improve
Good to Better Expectations
