Say hello to a hard-earned win streak for the UH Hilo men’s basketball team.
It’s been a while since that’s happened for coach GE Coleman’s team which was able to piece together two three-game win streaks last year, but with a rocky combination of its top returning player signing a professional contract and injuries to a couple starters this year, the Vulcans started out winless in nine games this season.
After an overtime win last Saturday at Point Loma Nazarene, UH Hilo (2-5 in the Pacific West Conference, 2-9 overall) got another one Thursday night, running on fumes and hopes at the end with a 72-69 victory over Academy of Art (2-6, 4-10).
