In a best-case scenario, the University of Hawai'i men's basketball team could still finish as high as fifth place in the Western Athletic Conference.

In a worst case, the Rainbow Warriors could finish in last place in the nine-team WAC.

In short, there is still much to be decided in the final two weeks of the regular season for the 'Bows.

"You can look at all the options, and it's fun to do that sometimes," Hawai'i head coach Bob Nash said. "But the bottom line is we can't worry about all the other scenarios. We just have to focus on what we can do."

With three regular-season games remaining, Hawai'i is 13-13 overall and in sixth place in the WAC at 5-8.

The 'Bows are scheduled to depart Honolulu tonight for a crucial two-game road trip. They will play at first-place Utah State on Thursday, then at seventh-place San Jose State on Saturday...
