RIVERSIDE, Calif. – The University of Hawai'i men's basketball team and UC Riverside will face off for the second time in 10 days when they take the court on Saturday, February 17.  Tipoff is 7:30 p.m. PT/5:30 p.m. HT.

The Bows shot 20-of-24 from the line to key its win at UC Irvine . The 'Bows are shooting 81 percent from the free throw line as a team in the last seven games.
