The University of Hawaii at Hilo’s home basketball opener against Washburn on Monday was postponed because Washburn couldn’t make its connecting flight to the islands, forcing a schedule reshuffle at the Vulcans Thanksgiving Classic.

The University of Hawaii at Hilo’s home basketball opener against Washburn on Monday was postponed because Washburn couldn’t make its connecting flight to the islands, forcing a schedule reshuffle at the Vulcans Thanksgiving Classic.

The Vulcans will play Washburn at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium, pushing back the Vulcans’ contest against Northwest Indian College until 9 a.m. Thursday at their campus gym.

Wednesday’s schedule at Hilo Civic remains the same — Washburn faces Northwest Indian College at 2 p.m. and the Vulcans take on Seattle Pacific at 7:30 p.m. — but Tuesday’s game between Washburn and Seattle Pacific was cancelled.

Monday night’s contest between Northwest Indian and Seattle Pacific ended after the Tribune-Herald’s deadline.
