Under The Radar Game of the Day – Thursday, January 26th

UC-Santa Barbara (16-3, 7-1) at Hawai’i (15-5, 6-2) – 12:00 AM ET (ESPN+)

Some days you save the best for last – tonight’s UTR Game of the Day leaves the mainland and goes to Hawai’i where the Rainbow Warriors host the UCSB Gauchos. Even after a 9-game winning streak was snapped with a 65-64 home loss to UC-Riverside, the Gauchos have gotten back on track with a 3-game winning streak. It began with a win at UC-Irvine and more recently included a 76-58 win against Bakersfield where Miles Norris led the Gauchos with 24 points.

Since winning the Diamond Head Classic, Hawai’i has held serve at home with four straight wins in the Big West. They are only 2-2 on the road in conference play, but the last game was a 67-63 road win that knocked UC-Riverside out of a first place tie in the conference. Jovon McClanahad had 19 points to lead Hawai’i in the aforementioned win against Riverside.
