Proving he and his teammates are much more than “one-hit wonders,” Leland Green calmly and confidently swished a 3-pointer from the right corner with 0.9 seconds remaining Wednesday night to lift Hawai’i to a stunning 80-77 victory over visiting Cal State Northridge in pulsating Big West Conference men’s basketball action.
A vocally appreciative Stan Sheriff Center crowd of about 4,800 watched Noah Allen produce career-highs of 30 points and 12 rebounds and Brocke Stepteau and Gibson Johnson each add 11 points as the Warriors improved to 8-9 overall and 2-2 in the Big West. Kendall Smith scored 20 points and Tavrion Dawson added 18 points and six rebounds to lead the Matadors, who fell to 7-11, 3-2.
