Joining an increasingly long buffet line, visiting Cal State Northridge became the latest team to feast on Hawai’i’s soft defense as the Matadors sped past the Warriors, 77-71, in Big West Conference men’s basketball action Saturday night.
A hungry but unsatisfied crowd of 5,945 (tickets issued) at the Stan Sheriff Center watched Tavrion Dawson and Michael Warren each score 22 points Terrell Gomez add 16 points for the Matadors, who snapped a five-game losing streak and improved to 6-19 overall and 3-8 in the Big West. Drew Buggs scored 17 points and Mike Thomas added 14 points for UH, which dropped its fifth straight game in falling to 13-10, 4-6.
