Compared to last season UH has gone up five percent where it sat in the lower end of the standings at 68 percent.
 
TIA KANOA CERTIFIED DIME DROPPER
Since joining UH, senior guard Tia Kanoa has been the floor general, controlling the pace and most notably dishing out assists. Her current pace for assists per game has propelled her to the top of the record books. By playing in a minimum of two years and over 50 games, Kanoa's current assists average per game is at 5.0 and ranks No. 1 all-time at UH.
 
A LITTLE BIT OF THIS WITH A DASH OF THAT AND YOU GET A WIN
When devising a checklist of successful habits for the 'Bows, the list is as follows- lead at the half, score over 70 points, and shoot more free throws than their opponents. UH is 9-1 this season leading at halftime, 4-1 when scoring over 70 points, and 9-4 when shooting more free throws than their foes.
