The Rainbows won at Wyoming and Colorado State, while Fresno State lost both of those games. The Bulldogs beat Hawaii at their place on Feb. 12, but only by six points. In other words, put the champagne on ice for the Rainbows as they full-tilt boogie toward the NCAA tourney. Not so fast, UH hoop heads. Beat the Rainbows at their place.
Revenge is also a factor.
Last season's defeat here late in the league season knocked the Bulldogs out of the NCAA tournament. TARK, of course, has only gushed about Wallace and the Rainbows. He said Riley should be considered for national coach of the year - just before Fresno State beat Hawaii. Now he is saying that the Rainbows have had a great and miraculous season. And he means it.
