HONOLULU – The University of Hawai'i men's basketball team (19-12, 8-8 WAC) hosts its second straight postseason game when it faces San Francisco (18-14, 10-4 WCC) of the West Coast Conference in the second round of the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament on Saturday, March 19.

This will be the second straight WCC opponent for UH who defeated Portland, 76-64, in a first-round match-up on Tuesday. The Dons, meanwhile, advanced to the second round with an 81-73 home win over Idaho on Wednesday. The winner of the UH-USF game will move on to the tournament quarterfinals to face Santa Clara on Tuesday, March 22.
UH, in its first postseason since 2004, grabbed a CIT first-round win over Portland after a stellar defensive effort. The 'Bows held the Pilots to just 35 percent shooting, including just 31 percent from three-point range.
Zane Johnson, who tied the single-season three-point record (97) led UH with 19 points, while
Jeremiah Ostrowski added a career-high 17 points. Both
Bill Amis (14 pts, 11 reb) and
Vander Joaquim (11 pts, 10 reb) recorded double-doubles.
San Francisco started the season slowly before transforming into a WCC contender. The Dons finished third in the league with a 10-4 mark, just behind St. Mary's and Gonzaga. USF and UH have met 13 times, most recently in the 2008-09 opener when the Dons defeated the 'Bows, 75-70, in Honolulu.
