The past, present and immediate future of the University of Hawai’i men’s basketball program will collide Thursday night in SimpliFi Arena at the Stan Sheriff Center.
The Warriors will don brand new adidas “retro” jerseys featuring 1970’s-style lettering and Rainbow trim when they play host to UC Santa Barbara, which will be playing in the moment at 16-3 overall and 7-1 atop the Big West Conference standings. Tipoff is set for 7:07 p.m., and fans are encouraged to wear retro type UH attire.
UH (15-5, 6-2) hopes to draw inspiration not just from the sharp-looking white uniforms with green letters and numbers, but also from alumni in the crowd and an impressive 67-63 road victory last Saturday at then-league leader UC Riverside.
