FYI: Yesterday I detailed for you Texas Southern's tenuous road journey to reach Dayton for last night's play-in game against N.C. Ashville. Tonight, Hawaii carries similar road woes into Las Vegas.

The Rainbows, who lost to host Tulsa in the WAC semifinals on Saturday night, were landing in Honolulu on Sunday night when they learned of their NIT bit. After debating whether to accept the invite, Hawaii had to fly back to the mainland on Monday, less that 24 hours after returning from Tulsa.

Hawaii originally thought it would be hosting a first-round game against Eastern Washington, but the Eagles were sent packing to Wyoming instead. Because of the extensive travelling, the Rainbows will have just one practice for tonight's contest.
