The University of Hawai’i basketball team could not overcome cold shooting in the second half of a 82-74 road loss at Texas Tech on Saturday.
The Warriors had an 11-point lead in the first half, but then went cold from the 3-point line and free-throw line at the United Supermarkets Arena in Lubbock, Texas.
Hawai’i fell to 4-1; Texas Tech improved to 4-1. It was the first meeting ever between the two programs. It was also Hawai’i’s first, and only, road game of the non-conference regular season.
Aaron Valdes scored a game-high 25 points, and Isaac Fleming added 21, but they were the only two Warriors to reach double-figure points.
