Rainbow Wahine prepare for Big West Conference Tournament on Thursday

Описание: The University of Hawaii women’s basketball team learned who they will play in Thursday’s quarterfinal round as Cal State Fullerton defeated CSUN in Wednesday’s opening round. Now UH split the season series against the Titans this season and just two weeks ago, won by 18 in Orange County.

Now Lady ‘Bows, who have split practice time between North Las Vegas and here in Henderson, have been clamping down defensively as of late, allowing just 25 points per half during an eight game win streak, but also recording a program single season record 184 blocked shots, according to players and coaches. Just like any relationship. That success stems from communication.

“Being able to stop teams with defense, and the blocks are amazing. Like you have everybody getting a piece, and that’s always fun to have and it brings up our energy a lot,” said Hawaii’s Imani Perez.

“Yeah, I think we’ve really poured into the defensive side this, you know, the past half of the season. Coach does a great job of helping us through that,” said Hawaii’s Ritorya Tamilo. “You know, we work through rotations. And so for us to kind of just pour into that and you really hone into what we’re doing, and just trust each other really is giving us all the confidence to kind of, you know, be able to do that.”

Rainbow Wahine winners in 14 of their last 15 games will hit the court on Thursday against Fullerton at nine in the morning, Hawaii time. The game will be streaming on ESPN plus with radio via ESPN Honolulu. Now, as for the Rainbow Warriors, they held their first practice in Nevada on Wednesday.
