The road sweep attempt by the University of Hawai’i basketball team hit a road block at Long Beach State.

The 49ers rallied in the closing minutes to earn a 74-72 victory over the Warriors in the regular-season finale at the Walter Pyramid in Long Beach, Calif.

Nick Faust scored on a driving layup to tie the scored at 72, then made two free throws with 9.3 seconds remaining to give the 49ers the win.

Hawai’i dropped to 24-5 overall and finished the regular-season atop the Big West Conference at 13-3. UC Irvine also finished 13-3, and is officially considered co-champions with Hawai’i, but the Warriors already secured the No.
