UH is currently in a tie for third in the Big West standings with three games remaining. Long Beach State has already clinched a share of the conference title, but much is yet to be determined through the rest of the conference with just two games separating second place and sixth place.
The Rainbow Warriors dismantled Northern Arizona by a 34-point margin in a non-conference contest on Saturday. After a pair of Big West road losses at UC Davis and Pacific, UH looks to get back on track in league play at home where it has won seven of its last eight games.
Following Thursday’s game, UH will face Cal Poly in the final home appearance for seniors Hauns Brereton, Vander Joaquim and Jace Tavita.
