Game Notes

HONOLULU – The University of Hawai'i men's basketball team will play a pair of games this week, first hosting UH-Hilo on Wednesday at the Stan Sheriff Center then making the short trek to Maui to face Pittsburgh on Friday night at War Memorial Stadium. Both games will tip-off at 7:00 p.m.
 
UH is fresh off a successful opening weekend to the season, winning two of three games and a runner-up finish at the Outrigger Resorts Rainbow Classic. This will be the fifth straight year that the Rainbow Warriors will play a regular-season game on a neighbor island. UH defeated Chaminade, 98-84, on Kauai last year. The 'Bows also played games on Maui in 2010 and '11, beating Chicago State and North Carolina A&T in successive years.
 
Pitt comes into the game with a 2-0 record and are coached by former Hawai'i assistant Jamie Dixon. Dixon coached under Riley Wallace from 1992-94 before later beginning a successful tenure with the Panthers. The 'Bows are 2-1 all-time vs. Pittsburgh.
 
Hawai'i is a perfect 5-0 versus UH-Hilo and welcomes the Vulcans to the Stan Sheriff Center for the second straight season. The 'Bows beat UHH 114-63 on Nov. 21 of last season.
