The Hawaii Rainbow Warriors play at the Stan Sheriff Center in Honolulu, bringing Big West basketball to the Pacific. The Rainbow Warriors' unique island location and Aloha spirit create a distinctive identity in college basketball. The program has made 10 NCAA Tournament appearances. Hawaii's remote location provides both a recruiting challenge and a unique home-court advantage.
Hawaii reached the 2016 NCAA Tournament under Eran Ganot, and the Rainbow Warriors' 1994 Sweet 16 run under Riley Wallace was the program's deepest. The program's location in Honolulu creates long travel distances but also provides a tropical appeal for visiting teams. Hawaii has produced NBA players including Red Rocha and Carl English.
