SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. -- The University of Hawai'i men's basketball team seeks its fifth straight win and third straight road win when it takes on Cal Poly on Saturday, Jan. 22. Tipoff is 7:00 p.m. PT/5:00 p.m. HT at the Mott Athletics Center.
UH started the front-end of its current road swing with a hard-earned 63-59 win on Thursday over CSU Bakersfield. The Rainbow Warriors - who have won six of their last seven Big West regular-season road games dating back to last year - look to keep their momentum going at Cal Poly, where they last won in 2017. A win would give UH just its second 4-0 conference start since joining the Big West.Â
