Heading into Thursday night’s Big West Tournament quarterfinal matchup against UC Davis, the University of Hawai’i men’s basketball team will know at least two things for certain: 1.) The “crowd” will not be a factor, and 2.) any Warrior who shoots a last-second 3-pointer from the left corner of the court will not be wide open.
“We just lost two games to Hawai’i on left-corner 3’s,” Aggies coach Jim Les said during Monday’s media conference call, “so this time, we’re just going to leave a guy there to guard that spot all game long.”
Les was probably speaking only partly in jest.
