The University of Hawai’i mens basketball team returned home last weekend from its first road trip, first competition against a Division I opponent and first two Big West Conference games of the season.
For their effort, the Warriors (3-1) gained an 88-83 victory at UC Riverside on Friday, suffered a 70-68 loss to the same Highlanders team 24 hours later, and now have a ton of experience and lessons learned from both.
“The opportunity to travel for the first time, a road trip — they did a great job, put us in a position to have success, fall just short of a sweep against a really good team,” UH coach Eran Ganot said.
