The opening road trip of the season for the University of Hawai’i basketball team had a forgettable finish.
The Warriors suffered their biggest loss of the season, 84-58, at UC Irvine on Saturday night at Irvine, Calif. The Bren Events Center crowd watched the Anteaters avenge two losses to Hawai’i last season.
UCI improved to 9-9 overall and 2-0 in the Big West; Hawai’i dropped to 6-9 and 0-2, with both losses on this opening road trip.
The Anteaters took control midway through the first half, and then ran away in the second half. It was Hawai’i’s largest margin of defeat of this season, and it’s largest margin of defeat since a 29-point loss at Cal Poly in 2013.
