Hawaii Pacific Men’s Basketball

1% Chance #TheSharkWay

9 straight months. Real impact. 🤝🦈 We wrapped up our Shark Bite Mentorship Program at Noelani Elementary School today after nine straight months of pouring into the keiki. Proud of our guys for the time, energy, and heart they’ve given to the community all year long.

ICYMI | @HPU_MBB got bigger, tougher & stronger on Thursday as former Baylor, UNI F Marino Dubravčić committed to the Sharks. The 6-foot-10 Croatian looks to become the latest transfer to take his game to another level in the islands. MORE (@12brecht): hawaiisportsradio.com/2026/04/16/haw…

Just up thinking about how smooth @HPU_MBB’s roster could mesh. Dubravčić moves well w/o ball around basket, Kilminster was a top offensive playmaker in PBC last year & Avi Halpert and Nemanja Sarenac have big-time 3PT ability. Oh yeah, plus Zane Gaul & Ike Sutton Yr 2 leaps👀

D2/D3 Spotlight 🌍🏀 Highlighting under-the-radar programs starting with Hawaii Pacific University in Honolulu. D2 school with an enrollment of about 4,900–5,000 students, offering strong hoops & a unique location. Don’t overlook opportunities like this. 👀

2025-26 🏀 Best Moments November 3, 2025 On opening night of the season, Division II Hawaii Pacific (@HPU_MBB) wins on the road at Boise State. The school in the old strip mall on the island of Oahu gave us a great story to open the season. Who could forget when Joshua West had a bad cramp during the game and there was no trainer on-site for the Sharks, so they dragged him off the court to the sideline and asked Boise State for a Theragun 😭😂 What a GREAT story this was, and just goes to show… You can find great basketball anywhere in the country 💪

🏀🌴 High Level Hoops. Elite Location. Winning Culture. A respected degree in the heart of Hawai‘i. Coming off a National Tournament appearance and major Division 1 upset. Ocean views. A community that shows up. Build your future here. Be a part of something special. 🦈
