With stunning, thrilling and statement-making fashion, Hawai’i rallied past visiting Long Beach State in overtime, 114-107, Saturday night in wild and crazy Big West Conference men’s basketball action.
A spirited and vocal crowd of about 4,800 at the Stan Sheriff Center watched Jack Purchase, Leland Green and Noah Allen each score a career-high 25 points — including Allen’s game-tying layup at the end of regulation — as the Warriors improved to 7-9 overall, 1-2 in the Big West. Brocke Stepteau added 14 points and freshman Zigmars Raimo contributed a career-high 11 points in 28 minutes off the bench.
