Game Notes

HONOLULU—The University of Hawai'i men's basketball team (15-13, 6-6 WAC) returns to the friendly confines of the Stan Sheriff Center for its final two regular-season conference games this week. First up for the Rainbow Warriors is a meeting with Idaho (16-12, 7-5) on Thursday, March 1 at 7:00 p.m. HT.

The Rainbow Warriors are in the midst of a tight Western Athletic Conference race with much to be decided in the final week. Hawai'i currently sits in a tie for fourth-place and can finish anywhere between third- and sixth-place heading into next week's WAC Tournament in Las Vegas. The Vandals are one game ahead of the 'Bows and a UH win on Thursday would put the teams in a tie for third.

The 'Bows return home following a grueling 10-day trip in which the team dropped a season-long three straight games—all by double-digits. Vander Joaquim led UH with 20 points and 10 rebounds for his 11^th double-double in UH's last game at Louisiana Tech. The junior center has been a force for the Rainbow Warriors, leading the team in scoring (14.8 ppg), rebounding (9.8 rpg), field goal percentage (.572) and blocks (53).

Following its game versus Idaho, UH will host its final WAC game ever when it plays Utah State in a “Whiteout” game on Saturday night. Zane Johnson and Jeremiah Ostrowski will be honored following the game as part of “Senior Night” festivities.
