UH Legend Anthony 'AC' Carter to Have Jersey Retired During Special Night and Men's Basketball Hosts UCSB on ESPN

University of Hawaii basketball legend Anthony 'AC' Carter is set to have his jersey retired at the Stan Sheriff Center during a special ceremony on Saturday night. Carter, a key player in the late 1990s, led the team through conference championships, national tournaments, and notable upset wins against top programs like Indiana and Kansas. His number 23 jersey will be permanently retired, making him the second Rainbow Warrior to receive this honor after Bob Nash. Carter, who scored over 1,000 points in just two seasons and is third all-time in assists, expressed that this moment is surreal and highly meaningful. He played 13 seasons in the NBA, notably with the Miami Heat, and has spent over a decade as an NBA coach. He remains a major supporter of UH athletics and hopes to help future athletes. Meanwhile, UH men's basketball hosts UCSB in a nationally televised game on ESPNU on Saturday, with the game featuring AC Carter Night, celebrating Carter’s legacy. The game will be held at the Bankoh Arena and is part of Hawaii's efforts to honor their basketball history and engage fans.
