#1 Ranking first in Hawaii

Said Gary Rubin,publisher of Division II Bulletin that a team from Hawai'i has been ranked number one in our preseason Top 25. We felt that BYU-Hawaii has the talent to carry onto the national stage. In preseason rankings by the Sporting News we are #2.I do not know of any other NCAA Division I or II Hawaii basket ball team has received this honor .I remember many years ago that Chaminade was rank #1 in the NAIA when we defeated them in the Blaisdell and we made our first trip to the Nationals in Tulsa OKLA.We have the NCAA II Player of the year Lucas Alves,and Cousy award finalist J.R. Buensuceso,Pac West Freshman of the Year Jet Chang and a great rebounder and player Marques Whippy who was on our 27-2 Championship team.Also some outstanding recruits that fit in well with this team.And the # 1 fans in America,Get your season tickets and tell your friends to come out also. Go Seasiders !
