Noah Allen scored a career-high 34 points tonight to help Hawai’i snap a two-game losing streak and roll past UC Santa Barbara, 78-56, in Big West Conference men’s basketball action.
A “Green-Out” crowd of about 6,200 at the Stan Sheriff Center watched Ido Flaisher contribute eight points and seven rebounds off the bench as the Warriors improved to 9-11 overall, 3-4 in the Big West. The Gauchos fell to 3-16, 1-6.
After falling behind, 7-2, in the game’s first three minutes, UH went on a 14-3 run bookended by Allen’s jumper and then Flaisher’s layup off Jack Purcahse’s assist to take a 16-10 lead with just under 12 minutes remaining in the half.
