Matchup Analysis
Two postseason teams open their seasons
Hawai‘i is coming off a 24-win season and NCAA Tournament appearance, while Seattle went 21-14 and reached the NIT’s second round; last year’s results do not show how quickly the 2026-27 rotations will click.
SourceA series with a long gap
Seattle leads the all-time series 7-3, but the teams have not met in nearly 37 years; Hawai‘i won the last meeting 99-61 in 1989, making the history too distant to offer much matchup insight.
SourceHawai‘i gets an extended home opening
Monday begins a four-game home stretch for Hawai‘i, including the OUTRIGGER Rainbow Classic; the opener is scheduled for 7 p.m. Hawai‘i time at Bankoh Arena at Stan Sheriff Center.
SourceExhibition offered an early shooting glimpse
In Hawai‘i’s 89-60 exhibition win over Hawai‘i Pacific, Chance Trujillo scored 16 points and hit five threes while Zack Davidson added 15, an encouraging first look despite the small sample.
SourceHeimbrodt gives Seattle a proven rim protector
Will Heimbrodt averaged 12.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.65 blocks last season and set Seattle’s single-season blocks record with 90, making his interior defense an important test for Hawai‘i’s new-look lineup.
SourceA Seattle-to-Hawai‘i connection in the frontcourt
Hawai‘i’s Houran Dan began his college career at Seattle and spent two seasons with the Redhawks before joining the Rainbow Warriors; his role in this opener is not established by the preview.
SourcePick Ideas
Seattle +1.5 at -105
A small lean toward Seattle +1.5 at -105 offers a little cushion in a near-pick’em market; keep the stake modest given the lack of regular-season form.
Pass on the 146.5 total
Pass on 146.5 because there is not yet a dependable regular-season pace or scoring baseline.
