UPDATE: 1:00 p.m. ET Wednesday, July 9
According to the News-Press and NDN, FGCU has said they do not have a scheduled game against Hawaii on Jan. 3, or any other date. Also, Hawaii has removed the Eagles from their official 2014-15 schedule.
END UPDATE
The Florida Gulf Coast men's basketball team added Hawaii to its 2014-15 non-conference schedule, the school announced Tuesday. The Eagles will travel to Honolulu to battle the Rainbow Warriors on January 3.
Hawaii finished last season with 20-11 record, including a 9-7 mark in conference play. Cal State Northridge ended the Rainbow Warriors' year in the Big West quarterfinals. They lose leading scorer Christian Standhardinger but retain double digit contributors Isaac Fotu, Garrett Nevels, and Brandon Spearman.
This game will assumably be part of a West Coast trip for FGCU, in which they will also play at UC Santa Barbara on January 5. The Blue and Green now have 12 confirmed non-conference games, and 14 TBA Atlantic Sun contests.
The Eagles will look to build on an Atlantic Sun regular season title and NIT appearance in 2014. Although Chase Fieler, Eric McKnight, and Dajuan Graf have departed, FGCU brings in a wealth of transfers and commits. Veteran guards Brett Comer and Bernard Thompson lead one of the best backcourts in the country, as well.
