In what could be called its first “rehearsal” for the upcoming season, the revamped University of Hawai’i men’s basketball team showed flashes of potential but also its youth and inexperience throughout Saturday afternoon’s annual Green vs. White Scrimmage at the Stan Sheriff Center.
UCLA transfer Noah Allen led all players with 23 points and 10 rebounds, returning sophomore guard Sheriff Drammeh added 15 points, five boards and four assists, junior Gibson Johnson scored 13 points and freshman guard Matt Owies chipped in 11 points and six assists to highlight the action. The scrimmage was played in three 10-minute periods with three NCAA officials; the “Green” and “White” squads were mixed up in different combinations for each of the three sessions.
