Did the schedule-makers of the Big West Conference do the University of Hawai’i basketball team a favor this month?
The Rainbow Warriors will play their next four conference games at home, and those games are spread over a period of three weeks. After going 1-1 on the road last week – a loss at Long Beach State followed by a win at CSUN – the Warriors will spend the remainder of January in Honolulu.
If Hawai’i is to prove its worth as a contender in the Big West, a successful home stand this month is vital.
The Warriors will host Cal Poly (6-10 overall, 1-1 BWC) on Wednesday, then UC Santa Barbara (12-4, 1-1) on Saturday.
