Coming off its first loss of the season last week, the University of Hawai’i basketball team got defensive in a 75-47 victory over Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Wednesday.
The Warriors held an opponent below 50 points for the first time since 2009, and limited the Golden Lions to 30.3 percent shooting from the field.
An announced crowd of 5,182 at the Stan Sheriff Center watched the Warriors improve to 5-1, with all five victories coming at home. UAPB, which also lost to Hawai’i by 28 points last season, dropped to 2-6.
“You have to win games in a lot of different ways,” head coach Eran Ganot said.
