The University of Hawai’i basketball team overcame a 22-point deficit in the first half and received a late boost from an improbable source in a 101-96 exhibition game overtime victory over Chaminade at the Stan Sheriff Center on Thursday night.
The final result and statistics will not count, but there were certainly a fair share of highs and lows for the Warriors.
Aaron Valdes led the way with 31 points and 14 rebounds, Roderick Bobbitt had 21 points, 15 assists and six rebounds, and Quincy Smith contributed 15 points, six rebounds and six assists.
But it was the play of redshirt freshman Brocke Stepteau that perhaps sparked the win.
