Warriors come up short at UC Irvine, 67-56
The University of Hawai’i basketball team could not overcome a cold-shooting first half in a 67-56 loss at UC Irvine at the Bren Events Center in Irvine, Calif.
The Rainbow Warriors shot 25 percent from the field in the first half and fell behind by as many as 15. They got as close as six in the second half, but could never catch the Anteaters.
Hawai’i dropped to 14-9 overall and is now in fourth place in the Big West Conference at 5-4. UCI improved to 21-5 and remains alone in first place at 9-1. The Anteaters swept the season series with Hawai’i, including a one-point win in Honolulu last month.
