Quandre \u201cDre\u201d Bullock scored a season-high 26 points and the Hawaii basketball team finished with a 6-0 run in the final 27.3 seconds to close out an 89-82 victory over Long Beach State in Walter Pyramid on the LBSU campus.<\/p>\n
Rebounding from Thursday\u2019s loss to UC Irvine, the \u2019Bows received a boost from Bullock and Isaac Finlinson to improve to 16-5 overall and 8-3 in the Big West. The \u2019Bows have not lost back-to-back games this season.<\/p>\n
The \u2019Bows, who led by as many as 15 in the second half, saw their advantage dwindle to 83-78 with 1:39 to play. UH center Isaac \u201cBig Fish\u201d Johnson was called for a flagrant-1 foul on a rebound attempt. Leopold Levillain hit both free throws to cut the deficit to 83-80, and the Beach maintained possession. With 54.7 seconds to play, LBSU post Petar Majstorovic was fouled, and his two free throws sliced the margin to 83-82.<\/p>\n
But Bullock hit a jumper from the left corner to restore the UH edge to 85-82 with 27.3 seconds to go.<\/p>\n
On the Beach\u2019s ensuing possession, Levillain\u2019s outlet pass bounced past Shaquil Bender and out of bounds with 13 seconds left.<\/p>\n
Bullock was intentionally fouled with 10 seconds left, and his two free throws made it a two-possession game.<\/p>\n
