UH basketball releases 2016-17 schedule
ERIK SMITH / MARCH 2016
The University of Hawaii Rainbow Warrior mens basketball team won 77 to 66 against the California State Golden Bears in a game on Friday in Spokane in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
The Hawaii men’s basketball team released its 2016-17 schedule today featuring 19 home dates at the Stan Sheriff Center.
UH opens up against a first-time opponent, SIU-Edwardsville of the Ohio Valley Conference, on Nov. 11 in the Outrigger Resorts Rainbow Classic.
The highlights of the schedule were all previously announced: a Nov. 18 home matchup against powerhouse North Carolina; back-to-back games against Seton Hall and Princeton Dec. 6-7 at Bloch Arena for the Pearl Harbor Invitational; and the eight-team field of the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic for Dec. 22, 23 and 25.
The revealed nonconference opponents are: Texas State (Nov. 13); Florida Atlantic (Nov. 14); Hawaii Hilo (Nov. 22); Troy (Nov. 25); Arkansas-Pine Bluff (Nov. 27); and Delaware State (Dec. 29).
UH opens 16 games of Big West Conference play on the road this year, Jan. 5 at Cal State Fullerton. The home conference opener is Jan. 14 vs. Long Beach State, the team the Rainbow Warriors defeated in March for their first BWC tournament championship.
The regular-season ends at LBSU on March 4. Barring a last-minute reversal of UH’s postseason ban by the NCAA, that will conclude the season as UH is currently ineligible for the 2017 Big West tournament.

headline is misleading…..so where is the complete schedule???????
hey sa….thanks for posting the schedule after i commented…..it verifies that you do indeed read what people post……go bows
Another powder puff schedule, Ganot’s in his second year, time to jack things up. Chaminade not scheduled, just as well, with the squad Ganot put together and with his AD bud trying to jam through an extension a loss will be too embarrassing.
Instead of complaining call David Matlin and tell him you want to make the schedule and take care of the contracts …
GO ‘BOWS !!!!!
