Just in time for next week’s start of Big West Conference play, Hawai’i found its shooting touch Thursday night and used it to race past visitng Delaware State, 77-66, in nonleague action.
A spirited and entertained “White-Out” crowd of about 3,800 at the Stan Sheriff Center watched Jack Purchase tie a season-high with 21 points, including five 3-pointers, and Sheriff Drammeh add 12 points to help the Warriors improve to 6-7 entering next Thursday’s Big West opener at Cal State Fullerton. The Hornets fell to 3-12.
“Now we got two wins in a row, so we got a little bit of momentum going into conference play,” said Drammeh, who added six rebounds, three assists and one steal.
