March 22, 2004. That’s the last time the Stan Sheriff Center was sold out for a University of Hawai’i basketball game.
That’s 217 home games and nearly 12 years ago. Riley Wallace was still the head coach of the Rainbow Warriors back then, and Eran Ganot was in his first year as a volunteer assistant at Saint Mary’s.
To say this program is overdue for another sellout crowd is an understatement.
This Saturday – when the Warriors host Long Beach State in a Big West Conference game at 8 p.m. – would seem to be as good a time as any for 10,300 fans to fill the Sheriff Center.
