There are still a lot of unknowns surrounding the University of Hawai’i basketball team, but it’s safe to say that the Rainbow Warriors are the best team in the state.
The Warriors proved it in an 89-66 rout of Hawai’i-Hilo on Saturday night at the SimpliFi Arena at Stan Sheriff Center. Hawai’i improved to 2-0 with both wins over NCAA Division II programs from within the state (they also beat Hawai’i Pacific last week.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has caused the Warriors to limit its non-conference scheduling options, as well as prevent fans from attending games at the SimpliFi Arena.
