WINDEX, WE HAVE AN IDEA FOR NIL
Graduate center
Kallin Spiller is up to her old ways and wiping the glass clean. From November 9
th to the 26
th, Spiller pulled down double-digit boards in five consecutive games, the longest stretch of her career. In two of her last four, she has pulled down 10 or more, including a career-high 13 against UC Davis. She ranks second in the Big West with eight rebounds a game, trailing Ila Lane of UC Santa Barbara with just nine boards per contest.
MODERN-DAY ANNIE OAKLEYS
The 'Bows 66-53 win over Cal State Fullerton on January 7
th gave a glimpse into "what if" scenarios. Sophomore forward
Meilani McBee went off for a career-high 22 points as she also hit a career-high six three-pointers in the game. UH is known for three-point shooting, case, and point
Amy Atwell from the previous five seasons. By comparison of sharpshooters, Atwell finished with a program record 205 made threes, and McBee currently sits at 63 with this season and two more years of guaranteed eligibility. Throughout Atwell's career, she had 47 games of three or more made three-pointers, while McBee has six. But in Atwell's first three seasons, she recorded 17 of those 47. Of course, McBee has a long way to go, but she has shown the ability to be a consistent sniper.
HAWK AND ANIMAL
It's well documented; no matter the sport, Hawai'i teams are the most traveled in all college athletics in terms of miles. Road life is a part of the college experience, and it can be tough to win on the road. Before the 2021-22 season, women's basketball didn't have a winning record on the road since 2015-16, and last season they were one game above .500 at 6-5. So far this season, the road has provided UH with some positive outcomes, with a 3-2 record compared to 2-6 at home. The aforementioned 2015-16 season was the last time UH had a better record on the road than at home. Away from the islands, UH was 10-4, and at home, they were 9-5. WHAT A RUSH!!!
