‘Bows Make History in Dominant Rainbow Classic Victory

The Hawai‘i men's basketball team delivered a record-setting performance Friday night, rolling past Bethesda, 116-44, to open the 60th annual OUTRIGGER Rainbow Classic at Bankoh Arena at Stan Sheriff Center.

The Rainbow Warriors' 72-point victory shattered the program's previous record for largest winning margin, a mark that had stood since 1962. UH also posted its fourth-highest scoring total in school history and its most points in a game since 1974.

Zack Davidson led the way with 20 points as seven Rainbow Warriors finished in double figures. The win also marked a milestone for head coach Eran Ganot, who earned his 200th career coaching victory.

Hawai‘i continues Rainbow Classic action Sunday, November 8, against UT Arlington at 5 p.m. HT. Fans can catch the game on ESPN Honolulu 92.7 FM / 1500 AM.
