    It’s been a long while since the Aggies were in Honolulu losing to Hawai`i and both teams are very different now. Hawai`i has faded. At home on Saturday, they barely won in overtime after UCSB’s Aidan Mahoney fouled out. In their two losses to CSUN and Cal Poly, the Rainbows 3-point shooting disappeared, as the combined percentage of those two games was 20.1%. Another problem for Hawai’i has been the injury to their point guard, Aaron Hunkin-Claytor who was averaging 3.9 assists per game, fifth best in the Big West (the Aggies’ Brayden Fagbemi and Marcus Wilson, by the way, are third and fourth). This might account for the way they have been turning the ball over at the rate of nearly 14 per game and their assist to turnover ratio is 1.0. Finally, Hawai`i has not been good on the road, which has been a common problem, having gone 4-4. Meanwhile, we know how up and down the Ags have been all season and it’s time to give up on seeing any consistency. If the “good” Ags show up on Thursday. They can win. Otherwise…

    I am really curious how the basketball team from Hawaii will adjust to a wider MW schedule next year.

    As recently as 2012, before they joined the Big West, Hawai'i was in the WAC with such schools as Boise State, Nevada and UNLV. Going back to 1999, the WAC also included Wyoming, Air Force, BYU and Colorado State. They were competitive back then and fans here thought Hawai`i was stepping down and would dominate in the Big West. Not so much.
