This week Owen and Nick relive probably the most exciting home weekend in over a decade for Cal Poly basketball. The Mustangs are 1-1 and headed to Hawai’i, so what better time to bring in Brian McInnis (around the 58 minute mark). McInnis is the beat reporter for the Honolulu Star Advertiser for Hawai’i. We talk some Hawai’i hoops and preview Wednesday night’s game in Hawai’i. 

Brian McInnis of the Honolulu Star-Advertiser joined me to talk about the upcoming college basketball season. Lots of Big West talk, especially Cal Poly and Hawai’i.

Gib Arnold is out as Hawai’i men’s basketball coach, Isaac Fotu has left the team, leaving the program scrambling with just days to go before the season starts. By Owen Main

As we charge toward to start of the Big West Basketball season, a few potential scandals are brewing. One is at Cal State Northridge, where players have been suspended for something they can’t tell us about, and the other is at Hawai’i, where many more facts are known. Still there, is lots of information that still isn’t known about what led up to the firing of head coach Gib Arnold and an assistant less than two weeks before the start of the season. We also try to sort out how the subsequent investigation led to Isaac Fotu being ruled ineligible and eventually leaving school just a few days later.

To help sort it all out, I was joined by Brian McInnis, the Hawai’i men’s basketball beat writer for the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. We talked Hawai’i basketball, the unknown, and what his outlook for the Big West is this season.
