Displaying a stunningly athletic, consistent all-around game and exposing Hawai’i’s lack thereof, visiting North Texas blitzed past the Warriors, 68-51, Sunday evening to capture the Outrigger Resorts Rainbow Classic championship.
A hopeful but disappointed crowd of about 4,200 at the Stan Sheriff Center watched Jorden Duffy score 13 points and grab seven rebounds and Jahmiah Simmons add 13 points and four boards as the Mean Green improved to 4-0. Ryan Woolridge added 12 points and eight rebounds for North Texas, which returns six of its top seven players from last season and is expected to compete for the Conference USA title.
