2017 Big West Tournament winner

The 2016–17 Hawaii Rainbow Warriors basketball team represents the University of Hawaii at Manoa during the 2016–17 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Rainbow Warriors, led by second year head coach Eran Ganot, play their home games at the Stan Sheriff Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, and are members of the Big West Conference.

The school is currently awaiting their appeal on a postseason ban for the season for improper benefits, which is currently endangering their Big West Tournament championship and a second straight NCAA Tournament appearance. On October 28, 2016 the NCAA sent the case back to the Infractions Committee for a second review and a possible issue of less stringent penalties.

The Stan Sheriff Center saw its second consecutive season with a sellout (announced turnstile 9,211 out of 10,300) in an 83-68 defeat versus No. 5 North Carolina, the first instance since 1996–97 and 1997–98.

The Rainbow Warriors finished the 2015–16 season 28–6, 13–3 in Big West play to finish in a tie for the Big West regular-season title. They defeated the Long Beach State 49ers, the only team to sweep the Rainbow Warriors, in the finals of the Big West Tournament.

The team, as a #13 seed in the 2016 NCAA Tournament, defeated #4 California, 77-66, before bowing out to Maryland, a #5 seed, 73-60 in the Second Round.
