We missed this

W-ea culpa as we somehow overlooked this very interesting piece by Brian McInnnis:

Experienced 'Bows ready for work

It takes a little longer these days to walk into a gym and take stock of the seniors on the Hawaii men's basketball team.

The Rainbow Warriors go from having none last year to six in 2009-10 when they tip off their first official practice today at 5 p.m. The returning experience is a large reason head coach Bob Nash made an 18-win guarantee for the season ahead at the team's media day yesterday...
Go here for the remainder.

In perusing the Rainbow Warrior schedule, we're not sure if Coach Nash is counting games against UH-Hilo and BYU-Hawaii. They shouldn't be included.

Then Southern Utah, McNeese State and Northern Colorado come to town, followed by toughies BYU and New Mexico.

Next it's at Irvine and home to Lamar, Chaminade and Chicago State at the Stan Sheriff Center. Does Chaminade count?

In the Diamond Head Classic, Hawaii begins with College of Charleston and then what appears to be two other games, opponents to be determined.

Before WAC plays begins, Northwestern State flies to the islands, plus the BracketBusters home game on February 20.

We see 8-9 wins at that point, leaving Hawaii with 10 wins to rack up in 16 conference games, plus at least one contest in the WAC tourney.

Will the Bows or won't the Bows?
