Box Score (PDF)

HONOLULU, Hawai'i – Jordon Varnado hit a 3-pointer with three seconds left in regulation to cap a 15-point comeback, but the momentum didn't carry into overtime as Troy fell 72-67 to Hawai'I in the championship game of the Rainbow Classic.

A jumper by Gibson Johnson gave the Rainbow Warriors a 54-39 advantage with 10:45 left, but that was as high as the lead would get. After scoring just three points in the first half, Wesley Person led the comeback effort with his 3-point shooting.

The senior hit two 3-pointers in a span of 40 seconds to cut the lead back down to nine with 5:37 on the clock.
