University of Hawai'i at Manoa Athletics

 

 

We held those guys to 24 percent from three and a huge stat we’re now 3-for-3 (this season), we’ve made more foul shots than they’ve shot and usually that’s the tell-all, and when we can do that we’ll win some games.

 

They changed that twice, I don’t know I couldn’t see the replay. There was some jawing between (Trey) Ziegler and Zane (Johnson) and when they separated they called the double “t”, gave it to Hiram (Thompson), changed it, so I took out Zane….little bit of confusion, they saw the monitor and had a better look than we did.

 

Bobby came in the first half, had some freshman jitters, and I actually jumped a little bit in the locker room, and was really pleased, we used him with Hiram in foul trouble and was part of that group that got us going and really played like a verteran. Great job by Bobby. Douglas Kurtz, on the stats it doesn’t look like he had a great game, I thought he did a great job in the middle of that zone having guys bounce off him and he was the reason why we out-rebounded them, a very good rebounding team.

 

I think our guys have a pretty good mentality of being able to win in different ways, its not always going to be pretty but its still going to be a win if we can grind it out and win battles like free throws and rebounding. We were zoned, we played mostly man, didn’t plan on playing a 2-3 tonight but times we were in it, they struggled. This is a team that showed they can win in different styles.

 

I loved this crowd tonight. They were standing up and were rowdy. I loved it.
