Quandre \u201cDre\u201d Bullock scored 19 points and Harry Rouhliadeff and Isaac \u201cBig Fish\u201d Johnson each had 17 as the Hawaii basketball team defeated Cal State Bakersfield 89-74 to move into sole possession of first place in the Big West.<\/p>\n
A crowd of 226 in the Icardo Center on the CSUB campus saw the \u2019Bows improve to 18-5 overall and 10-3 in the Big West. UH and UCI entered the day tied atop the Big West, but Cal Poly upset UCI, leaving the \u2019Bows alone in first place.<\/p>\n
\u201cShout-out to Cal Poly,\u201d said Bullock, who hit three 3s, grabbed four rebounds and was one of four \u2019Bows with four assists.<\/p>\n
Of his deep shooting, Bullock said, \u201cthey just gave me a lot of good opportunities and looks at the rim, and it just felt good leaving my hands. I made one, and it gave me confidence to make another one, and then another one after that.\u201d<\/p>\n
UH had assists on 19 of its 28 baskets. The Roadrunners managed only five assists.<\/p>\n
The \u2019Bows led by as much as 66-43 with 11:30 to play. The Roadrunners went on a 13-0 run to cut the deficit to 10. It was 68-59 after Dailin Smith\u2019s 3, the Roadrunners\u2019 first trey after missing nine from behind the arc.<\/p>\n

But Johnson scored on a floater, and Hunter Erickson buried a 3 to push the \u2019Bows\u2019 advantage to 73-59 with 6:29 to go.<\/p>\n
After that, the only remaining drama came when UH\u2019s Isaac Finlinson missed two free throws, enabling the remaining fans in attendance to each earn a Chick-fil-A gift card.<\/p>\n
The \u2019Bows play Cal State Northridge on Saturday to complete the road trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Quandre \u201cDre\u201d Bullock scored 19 points and Harry Rouhliadeff and Isaac \u201cBig Fish\u201d Johnson each had 17 as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":169037,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[151,153,152],"class_list":{"0":"post-176161","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bakersfield","8":"tag-bakersfield","9":"tag-bakersfield-headlines","10":"tag-bakersfield-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=176161"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176161\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/169037"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=176161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=176161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=176161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
