Just days away from their sixth game of the 2023-24 season, the University of Hawaiʻi men's basketball team earned more good news, as Noel Coleman earned Big West Player of the Week.

​

Coleman scored over 20 points in two of the five games played in 2023-24, which included a season-high 26 against San Diego. Coleman has also led the team in 3-point shooting this season at 38% (10-for-26). He is averaging over 16 points a game; if he earns 18 points in Hawaiʻi's next game against Utah, Coleman will break 100 points in this season alone.

​

Last season, teammate JoVon McClanahan was the only Rainbow Warrior to earn Big West Player of the Week honors after his incredible buzzer-beating triple on Christmas day against Southern Methodist University to win the Diamond Head Classic Championship in 2022.

​

Coleman has been a valuable addition to UH's backcourt since he first came here in 2020. Like McClanahan, Coleman does have two buzzer-beating triples to his credit, and both came against Cal State Fullerton last season; unfortunately, both times resulted in losses for UH.

​

Coleman and the Rainbow Warriors are scheduled to take on the Utah Utes at the Delta Center in Salt, Lake City, Utah on Thursday, Nov. 30. Tipoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. HST. You can listen on the radio at CBS 1500, or watch the game on the Pac-12 Network.
