Only three Big West Conference teams emerged with winning records in the just completed non-conference season. Hawai’i, at 9-5, is one of them (UC Santa Barbara at 11-3 and UC Irvine at 12-4 are the others).
How that translates to the Big West regular season remains to be determined. It starts this Wednesday, when the Rainbow Warriors host defending Big West Conference Tournament champion Cal State Fullerton at the Stan Sheriff Center.
Here is a quick look at each of the nine Big West teams (in alphabetical order):
• Cal Poly (4-9)
Head coach: Joe Callero (10th season, 127-172 at CP)
The Mustangs are coming off three consecutive 20-loss seasons and will need to improve in a hurry to prevent that streak from continuing.
