The University of Hawai’i men’s basketball schedule offers fans plenty of opportunity to watch the Warriors in person.

UH faces Hawai’i Pacific in a home exhibition game on Sunday and will play nine of its 12 nonconference games in Bankoh Arena at the Stan Sheriff Center, starting Nov. 2 against Seattle.

The home nonconference schedule once again features the 60th annual OUTRIGGER Rainbow Classic, the longest running tournament in the country. Hawai’i will host Bethesda, UT Arlington and Portland on Nov. 6, 8 and 9.

The Warriors will have five other nonconference opponents at home, highlighted by a Dec. 20 game against former Big West Conference nemesis UC Irvine. First-time opponent Incarnate Word (Nov. 25), as well as Hawaii-Hilo (Dec. 9), Southeastern Louisiana (Dec. 12), and Alabama State (Dec. 22) are also on the schedule. 

Away from Honolulu, UH will face Washington State on Nov. 18 in a neutral site contest at a location to be determined. In early December, the Warriors will head to California for road tests at West Coast Conference opponents San Diego (Dec. 1) and Loyola Marymount (Dec. 4).

In Mountain West play, eight of Hawai’i’s 18 conference matchups have been selected for national broadcast, split evenly with four games on FS1 and four on The CW. Due to national television selections, two game dates have been adjusted from the base schedule announced earlier this summer: UH’s road contest at Nevada moves to Friday, Jan. 8 (FS1), and its home contest against Grand Canyon moves to Wednesday, March 3 (FS1).
