Perhaps never has a University of Hawai’i men’s basketball conference opener been so elusive, or so eagerly anticipated as Friday’s 2 p.m. Big West tangle at UC Riverside.
The Warriors’ first two attempts – back-to-back home games vs. Cal Poly scheduled for Dec. 27 and 28 – were canceled due to COVID-19 issues within the Mustangs’ program. That Christmas Day announcement allowed UH (2-0) to turn its attention toward its first road trip and Friday’s “new” opener against the Highlanders (3-1).
The game at SRC Arena on the UCR campus will be streamed live via BigWest.
