If anything, the University of Hawai’i basketball team is now fully aware that it needs to be ready for every game in the Big West Conference. The combination of a UH home loss to Long Beach State and a UC Santa Barbara road win at UC Irvine last Saturday was more than enough notice.
“Just staying together right now is the big thing,” junior forward Aaron Valdes said. “It was a frustrating game for us. We just have to stay together out there. I know the guys are talking; everybody’s good right now, so we’re excited to get back out on the road and get another win.
