Utah Basketball Alumni Transform Hawaiis Rainbow Warriors into NCAA Contenders

A group of Utah-based players, all married returned missionaries and Latter-day Saints, have turned the University of Hawaii mens basketball team into Big West Conference champions. This tight-knit group, featuring Isaac Johnson, Hunter Erickson, and Isaac Finlinson, has created a strong off-court bond, which translates to success on the court, accounting for 40% of the teams scoring.

Their shared backgrounds and mission service have fostered a unique camaraderie, with assistant coach Gibson Johnson leading the recruitment effort. The team, known for their size, defense, and team-first mentality, aims to make history by winning their first NCAA Tournament game against Arkansas.
