on the show tomorrow, our last thurs at 6 show on espn 1420 before we move to weds at 6 for the rest of the season, Jackson and I will preview the WAC. We will also look at the National scene now that conference play has started in earnest.  Our guests will include Bernie Fine, associate head coach forover 30 years at Syracuse., and our own Gib Arnold.

 UH starts its season in a few hours in Logan against Utah State. Utah state looks to be the class of the WAC with only two losses and those against nationally ranked BYU and Georgetown. Hawaii has never beaten Utah state in conference play in Logan, but did spring the upset a few years ago in the NIT. Despite how well the Bows are playing, this would be a major upset.

On the other hand, the Bows play New Year's Eve in Reno against the Wolfpack. Hawaii has never beaten Nevada in Reno either, but this is probably the weakest Wolfpack team in recent memory. It has only 3 wins against 10 losses, and if UH has any chance of finishing in the top half of the league, this is a game it has to win. I say the streak ends and Hawaii starts league play 1-1 .
