The Hawaii Rainbow Warriors are off to a 14-4 start to the 2022-23 NCAA Basketball season, third in the Big West Conference, and are on a two-game winning streak.
They are coming off a win against the Cal State Northridge Matadors (58-51) in their previous outing, where Noel Coleman, JoVon McClanahanm, and Bernardo Silva scored 14, 13, and 11 points in the win.
The Warriors will now take on the UC Irvine Anteaters, who are 12-6 at the start of the season, fourth in the same conference, and faced a defeat against the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos (73-65) in their last outing.
Dawson Baker's 17-point effort was not enough to seal a win for his side as other players from the starting lineup failed to make an impact. They will now host this game at the Bren Events Center on Thursday (January 19) where they will look to end their losing start.
