The Rainbow Warriors released their complete schedule today. They previously announced the Big West schedule, Diamond Head Classic field and North Carolina. North Carolina will play UH on Friday, Nov. 22, at SimpliFi Arena at Stan Sheriff Center ahead of the Tar Heels’ participation in the Nov. 25-27 Maui Invitational.
“North Carolina is one of the clear blue bloods in college basketball,” UH coach Eran Ganot said. “They have a top-10 team they’re excited about, as well.”
The ’Bows will travel to Phoenix for a road game against Grand Canyon. The Lopes were 30-5 this past season, including an opening-round victory over 15th-ranked Saint Mary’s in the 2024 NCAA Tournament. The Lopes were 16-0 at Global Credit Union Arena last season.
After a one-year hiatus, the Rainbow Classic returns with a season-opening, four-team field.
The ”Bows also play host to Weber State and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, both of whom won 20 games last season.
