It’s that time of year, when hardcore surfers and big wave spectators flock to O’ahu’s North Shore to test their abilities and courage, and to enjoy the spectacular scenery.
But this year, the University of Hawai’i men’s basketball team is hoping to make college hoops another main draw as it plays the role of the featured team in the inaugural Patty Mills North Shore Classic, set for Friday and Saturday at Brigham Young Hawai’i’s Cannon Activities Center in La’ie. UH (3-1) faces Sacramento State (3-2) at 3:30 p.m. Friday, and then either Southern Utah or Texas State on Saturday at either 4:30 p.
