The University of Hawai’i basketball team might not be able to take its 11-2 non-conference record into Big West play, but the Warriors certainly can ride the momentum into this week’s opening games.
Hawai’i will host Cal Poly in the Big West season opener on Wednesday at the Stan Sheriff Center, then UC Santa Barbara on Saturday. Both the Mustangs and Gauchos managed to earn wins over the Warriors last season in Honolulu.
The last time a Hawai’i team started a season 11-2 was the 2002-03 team that eventually played in the NIT.
