The Rainbow Warriors dropped to 11-3 overall and 3-1 in the Big West with its first conference setback of the year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Two days after posting a 43-point win at UC Riverside in which everything was clicking, the &#8216;Bows saw the tables turned. The Tritons used a 17-0 run bridging the first and second halves to break open a close opening 18 minutes and take firm control of the game. UCSD (12-3, 2-1) continued its recent mastery of UH. After winning the first six all-time meetings between the squad, the &#8216;Bows have now dropped four of its last five against the Tritons.<\/p>\n<p>Five different Tritons finished\u00a0in double-digits led by Alex Chaikin&#8217;s 21 points off the bench. Former Rainbow Warrior <a href=\"https:\/\/hawaiiathletics.com\/sports\/mens-basketball\/roster\/tom-beattie\/21529\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"21529\" target=\"_blank\">Tom Beattie<\/a> tallied 12 points, seven rebounds and eight assists. <a href=\"https:\/\/hawaiiathletics.com\/sports\/mens-basketball\/roster\/harry-rouhliadeff\/22118\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"22118\" target=\"_blank\">Harry Rouhliadeff<\/a> led UH with 16 points, while <a href=\"https:\/\/hawaiiathletics.com\/sports\/mens-basketball\/roster\/dre-bullock\/22122\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"22122\" target=\"_blank\">Dre Bullock<\/a> added 15.<\/p>\n<p>The Triton&#8217;s 83 points tied the most by a UH opponent this season and was 22 points more than what UH came into the game allowing. The &#8216;Bows also were out-rebounded (33-29) for just the second time this year and the first time since its season-opener at Oregon.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The first half was a tight, back-and-forth affair for the first 18 minutes with seven ties and seven lead changes. Neither team led by more than three points and UH held a 29-26 advantage after a <a href=\"https:\/\/hawaiiathletics.com\/roster.aspx?rp_id=22203\" rev=\"22203\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Gytis Nemeik\u0161a<\/a> jumper with 3:15 left. But that&#8217;s when the tide turned as the Tritons ended the half with 10 unanswered points, including back-to-back three-pointers after starting the game 0-of-7 from behind the arc. The Tritons took a 36-29 lead into the locker room and committed just two turnovers in the first half and snagged eight offensive rebounds.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Things didn&#8217;t get better for UH in the second half. The Tritons scored the first seven points of the second half to push their lead to double-digits and back-to-back three-pointers by Beattie put UCSD up 46-31 just four minutes into the half.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rouhliadeff finally ended the bleeding with a bucket at the 16:24 mark that concluded a near seven-minute scoring drought for the &#8216;Bows. But the Tritons would maintain control the rest of the way, building its lead to as many as 18 points. UCSD shot a sizzling 57 percent, including 6-of-14 on three-pointers to prevent any comeback hopes for the &#8216;Bows.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Rainbow Warriors now return home for another big matchup, this time against rival and league-leading UC Irvine (11-5, 4-0) on Saturday, January\u00a0 10. Tipoff is 7:00 p.m. PT\/5:00 p.m. HT at Bankoh Arena.\u00a0<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>#HawaiiMBB<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; Next Game: UC Irvine 1\/10\/2026 | 7:00 P.M.
