Hawai’i will play California on Friday at Spokane in the second round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championships, at a tipoff time to be determined.
The official 68-team brackets were announced this morning on CBS, including the first round of eight teams in Dayton, Ohio, on Tuesday.
The Rainbow Warriors (27-5) are seeded No. 14 in the South Region; the Golden Bears (23-10) are seeded No. 3 after an 82-78 overtime loss to Utah in Pac-12.
UH was one of only 10 top-seeded teams to win its conference tournament and secure an automatic NCAA Tournament berth; 20 other top seeds lost in their tournament and needed to wait for at-large bids.
