Digging out of an even deeper hole than it did a week before, Hawai’i overcame a 17-point deficit in the final 11 minutes Saturday night to rally past Cal State Northridge, 80-75, for another stunning Big West Conference men’s basketball comeback victory.
A vocal season-best crowd of 5,311 at the Stan Sheriff Center watched Eddie Stansberry score 22 points and Zigmars Raimo add a season-high 20 points — including the go-ahead basket with 40 seconds remaining — as the Rainbow Warriors improved to 14-6 overall and 5-1 in the Big West.
Freshman Justin Webster added a season-high 17 points, and Drew Buggs had eight points and 10 assists – his third consecutive game with double-digit assists – as the Warriors closed a four-game, three-week homestand with a 4-0 record.
