The 'Bows (8-8, 1-2 WAC) are coming off a 78-64 loss at Fresno State on Saturday. UH fell behind by 18 at the half in part due to a six-minute scoring drought and 12 unanswered Fresno State points. The Bulldogs closed out the half with a 19-5 run and capitalized on 15 Hawai'i turnovers with 24 points. UH's leading scorer
Roderick Flemings scored all 13 of his points in the second half after sitting on the bench for most of the first half in foul trouble.
Jeremy Lay came off the bench and scored a team-high 14 points.
