HONOLULU - Fans will be able to get their first look at the 2019-20 University of Hawai'i men's basketball team when the Rainbow Warriors hold their annual Green & White scrimmage on Saturday, Oct. 12 at the Stan Sheriff Center. The scrimmage begins at 1:00 p.m. and admission is free.
Arena gates open at noon as fans will have the chance to watch the team go through practice, before a controlled scrimmage with multiple periods of varying lengths. Different lineup combinations will be on the floor as players will change teams throughout the afternoon.
UH returns three starters and eight letterwinners from last year's squad that went 18-13. Among the returnees are seniors
Zigmars Raimo (11.5 ppg, 55% FG), and
Eddie Stansberry (11.3 ppg, 77 3FGM) and junior point guard
Drew Buggs (8.8 ppg, 5.4 apg), who was honorable mention all-Big West last season after leading the conference in assists per game. UH welcomes six newcomers this year - one Division I transfer and five from the high school ranks.
