Longtime nemesis UC Irvine will be making its final Big West Conference appearance in Hawai’i on Saturday as the Anteaters take on the host Warriors at 7 p.m. in BankOh Arena at the Stan Sheriff Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game will be televised live statewide on Spectrum Sports Channel 12 and broadcast live via radio on ESPN 1420AM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UC Irvine, not surprisingly, is again atop the league standings at 12-5 overall and 5-0 in conference play. UH is right behind in second place at 11-3, 3-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We’re really excited about it, excited about the challenge and excited to be back home,” Warriors coach Eran Ganot said. “The reward for a tough loss is to play again, to play in games that mean a lot. For UC Irvine, the blueprint is still there — the toughness, the grit, they are elite at defending and they do have some good returners who have developed, so you can see their shot-blocking around the rim … They shoot really well, they share the ball, and obviously they’re playing their best basketball. So we’re really excited about the challenge, for sure.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More details to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
