Under adverse conditions for what seems like the umpteenth time, the University of Hawai’i basketball team chalked up yet another impressive victory on Thursday.
This one came in the form of an 80-71 win over UC Riverside, with leading scorer Aaron Valdes sidelined with a turf toe injury, and starting point guard Roderick Bobbitt opening the game on the bench after arriving in Riverside, Calif., earlier in the day.
Senior guard Quincy Smith scored a career-high 17 points to lead a group effort that resulted in the Warriors’ sixth consecutive victory.
