  • University of Hawaii-Manoa Basketball

    I begin this thread with an article on the possibility of Hawaii competing at Kentucky, and vice versa.

    http://www.timesleader.net/articles/...3B_sports.html

    >Kentucky’s 2004-05 basketball schedule likely won’t be out for several more weeks, as several teams hope to get on the Wildcats’ slate.

    >The latest to try to snare a coveted spot on the UK schedule is the University of Hawaii, which is trying to work out a home-and-home deal with the Wildcats.

    >The deal would have the Rainbow Warriors coming to the Bluegrass State this season, while UK would return the favor in 2006-07. Kentucky is already slated to play in the Maui Invitational in November of ’06.

    >Hawaii head coach Riley Wallace would like the Cats to open Hawaii’s 2006-07 season in the Stan Sheriff Center in Honolulu.

    >Rob Mullens, UK's executive associate athletics director, told the Courier-Journal earlier this week that the schools are close to a home-and-home deal, though nothing is final.

    >If a deal is worked out, UK would likely play in the 2006 Maui Invitational on that Monday-Wednesday, then fly to Honolulu for a weekend game against Hawaii.

    >“Teams have done it before,” Wallace told the Honolulu Advertiser. “But they said they’re concerned because they have a big game with Indiana coming up after Maui and so they wanted to get home and get ready for that game.”

    >Kentucky assistant coach Scott Rigot is a former assistant coach under Wallace at Hawaii. [Don't forget Rick Pitino, former Kentucky coach, also coached early in his career at Manoa.--B.H.]

    >The Rainbow Warriors will return seven players from last year’s team that finished 21-12 and advanced to the quarterfinals of the NIT.
