Two of last season’s high marks were matched in one stroke by Hawaii on Thursday. On Saturday, the Rainbow Warriors seek uncharted glory.

UH will attempt an unprecedented four-game conference road winning streak at Cal State Fullerton. After dropping their first two Big West road games, the ‘Bows have taken their last three, including an 87-76 decision at UC Riverside two days ago. Behind 27 points and 13 rebounds from forward Christian Standhardinger, UH matched its overall win total of 2012-13 with six regular-season games left.

Coach Gib Arnold’s team peaked this time last year during a three-game road winning streak en route to a 17-15 finish. That included a 77-75 win at Fullerton on the Titans’ homecoming night — a designation CSF again assigned to Saturday’s contest, which will be broadcast online on ESPN3.

UH sports a rare winning record on the mainland (4-3) and is 10 games above .500 for the first time since the 2003-04 season, which was also the last time UH finished at 20 wins or better.

Arnold’s first 20-win season is well within reach, and if the ‘Bows need further motivation, it’s that league opponents keep scheduling their most festive night when the historically road-weary ‘Bows come to town. UC Irvine also packed the house for homecoming on Jan. 25, and Hawaii walked away from a stunned Bren Events Center crowd with a 90-86 overtime win.

"I think last year, our game was their homecoming," Standhardinger said of Fullerton this week. "And this year Irvine did it. Now they did it (again). We as a team kind of take it as disrespect, because you always schedule worser teams on your homecoming. We’ll take it and compete and give it all we got and try to crash the party."

A sellout or a crowd close to one is expected at the 4,000-seat Titan Gym. The Titans are tied for last place, but are coming off a 74-64 home win over UC Davis to snap a three-game skid.

"I like it. I like it when it’s full," Arnold said this week. "It was their homecoming last year at Fullerton, we were able to beat ’em then. Obviously it was Irvine’s. So, it’s good for the guys to play in front of a packed house. We’re also used to playing in front of crowds. I think we more than quadruple everybody else in attendance. So I think it plays to our favor when we play in front of big, big fans, a big group of people, because our guys are used to it and they like it."

Fullerton is the last Big West opponent UH has not played this season. The ‘Bows have already completed home-and-home series against Cal State Northridge and Riverside.

First-year coach Dedrique Taylor has attempted to install a defense-first mind-set, no small feat for a program that shot first and asked questions later last season when it finished 14-18. From there, the Titans look to run, with guards Michael Williams (16.6 ppg) or Alex Harris (14.8) leading the break.

Taylor and his rebuilt staff have been encouraged by the buy-in from their (mostly inherited) players. Williams and Harris have been consistent 20-point scorers lately.

"Any time you take over a program there’s always that possibility of some fight-back and all that kind of stuff," Taylor said. "But they’ve jumped in from Day One with both feet, on and off the floor."

UH was encouraged by its offensive outburst on Thursday, in which it buried seven of 15 3-point looks to snap out of a recent shooting slump. Guard Garrett Nevels hit four of six from deep.

After Standhardinger’s outburst at Riverside, the senior needs 67 points to become UH’s 16th 1,000-point scorer.
