Game Overview
The NCAA Men's Basketball game between the Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors and Manhattan Jaspers is scheduled for November 15, 2025, at 5:00 AM UTC. This is an early season matchup taking place during the 'Rainbow Classic' tournament hosted by Hawai'i in Honolulu. Both teams come into the game with a 2-1 record and are looking to build momentum in non-conference play. Hawai'i has been dominant on their home court, whereas Manhattan has shown resilience but struggled more in high-level matchups recently.
Key Factors to Consider
- Hawai'i holds a slight edge with a strong home performance including an 88-56 win over Mississippi Valley State recently. Manhattan has competed well but lost notable games to higher-ranked opponents like USC and Iona. Both enter with 2-1 records. Hawai'i's defense and rebounding have been key, while Manhattan relies on guard leadership and pace.
- Historical head-to-head data between these two teams indicates limited past meetings with no significant rivalry. Recent seasons have had few matchups, making this an unpredictable contest. Hawaii has historically held home advantage when meeting Manhattan.
- No significant injuries have been reported for either team ahead of this game, allowing both to field their strongest lineups.
- The game is part of the Rainbow Classic at Hawaii's home venue, thus Hawai'i has the home crowd and travel advantage. Manhattan has been on a strenuous road trip through the West Coast leading up to this, which might affect their energy levels.
- Hawai'i aims to capitalize on their home court early season to gain national recognition. Manhattan seeks to prove competitiveness against a mid-major opponent away from home and build team cohesion early in the schedule.
