No. 6 Miami is up next for Warriors
Top 10 opponents are relatively common for the University of Hawai’i basketball program. Upsets of those top 10 opponents are a bit more rare.
This year’s Rainbow Warriors will get their shot on Friday, when they host No. 6 Miami on the opening night of the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic. The game will be televised nationally on ESPNU.
Hawai’i has played teams ranked in the top 10 a total of 44 times in previous years. Only three of those games have resulted in Hawai’i victories – 76-65 over No. 2 Kansas in 1997; 84-62 over No. 4 Michigan State in 2005; 83-74 over No. 6 Utah in 1981.
