Men's Basketball Embarks On Final Big West Regular-Season Road Trip

The University of Hawai'i men's basketball team embarks on its final regular-season road trip in the Big West when it travels to California for a pair of games, starting with a contest at  UC Davis, Thursday, Feb. 26. Tipoff is 6 p.m. PT/4 p.m. HT at the University Federal Credit Union Center. 

This will not be UH's final trip to Davis as both the 'Bows and the Aggies are set to join the Mountain West next season. For now though, it's a critical matchup as the Big West race hits its final two weeks.  UH is currently in a three-way tie for first in the Big West with UC Irvine and CSUN with four games remaining. The Aggies sit in a tie for fourth, 1.5 games behind the pace in a tight race that has the top seven teams separated by just two games. Following its game at UC Davis, the 'Bows will travel south to take on Cal State Fullerton on Saturday, Feb. 28.
