After blowing double-digit leads in back-to-back games at CSUN last weekend, the Hawai’i men’s basketball team insists it is not just blowing smoke about improving its transition defense this week.
A painful but revealing film session on Monday clearly showed where the Warriors need immediate improvement, especially when reviewing how the Matadors were able to erase a 12-point second-half deficit in UH’s 75-74 victory last Friday, and then roar back after trailing by 23 points in the first half last Saturday to eventually win in overtime, 88-80.
“It was very exposing,” said Hawai’i forward Casdon Jardine, a senior co-captain.
