Big West officially announces MVB and basketball tournaments hosted by Hawai’i

https://bigwest.org/news/2021/1/7/general-hawai-i-tourism-authority-named-presenting-sponsor-of-big-west-basketball-mens-volleyball-championships.aspx

Had mentioned previously that this would be happening (via MVB coach Charlie Wade)

The Big West today announced that the Hawai’i Tourism Authority would be the presenting sponsor for the men’s and women’s conference basketball tournaments.

Men’s volleyball will host this year and in 2022. UC Irvine, which had been scheduled to host this past spring (April 23-25, 2020) will host in 2023. This year’s event at the Stan Sheriff Center scheduled for April.

IMHO good news that BWC is looking at postseason Will see when teams announce schedules. Sounded like they’ll be following the schedule from last year in terms of order of contests but like a three-match series with two counting in conferenece and one nonconference. If so Hawaii would open at CSUN, host UC San Diego and Long Beach State, play at UC Santa Barbara, finish conference play at home with UC Irvine.

Basketball, men and women, will be in Las Vegas March 9-13. Although UH schedule still has it being played in Anaheim, Calif.

 

From UH AD David Matlin:

“The University of Hawai‘i is honored to host the Big West Volleyball tournament at the SimpliFi Arena at Stan Sheriff Center. The last time we hosted, it was a memorable event for both Big West student athletes and the people of Hawai’i. Mahalo to the Hawai‘i Tourism Authority for this impactful Big West sponsorship and for their continued support of University of Hawai‘i Athletics.”

  1. Aloha Cindy,
    Happy New Year! I really enjoy your new blog.

    Just for clarification: UH is hosting Men’s Basketball but the tournament will be played in Las Vegas?

  2. Auwe! Hosting without the fans, disappointing for everyone. This will probably means a longer wait before we get a chance to host again.

    • Not sure why you think that
      Mens Volleyball is doing a rotation for hosting And UH designated in 21 and 22 The UCI Long Beach in the rotation too
      That there might be no fans is being done every where in many sports
