FULLERTON, Calif. — After finishing 1-2 in the John Wooden Legacy men’s basketball tournament following Sunday’s 79-64 loss to Fresno State, Hawai’i will spend the next two days trying to build on its Pyramid of Success before facing the Wizard of Westwood’s former team on Wednesday.
Deshon Taylor scored a game-high 20 points and Braxton Huggins added 13 points to help the Bulldogs (3-2) pull away from the Warriors (4-3) for third place in the eight-team John Wooden Legacy tourney. A sparse crowd of about 250 at Cal State Fullerton’s Titan Gym and an ESPNU national TV audience watched New Williams add 12 and Sam Bittner contribute 11 points for Fresno State.
