UH Vs. CSUN: UH Falls to CSUN Badly, Where Was Their Fight?!
2My story on UH Vs. CSUN: https://mathew21688.wixsite.com/my-site/uh-vs-csun-1-16-25\n\nThey will have to start from scratch.\n\nThe University of Hawaiʻi Men's Basketball team got beaten up by the Cal State Northridge Matadors, 83-60, on Thursday at the Stan Sheriff Center. The loss ultimately snaps a three-game win streak by the 'Bows.\n\nAaron Hunkin-Claytor was the only Rainbow Warrior to crack double-digits, as he ended up with 10 points in the loss. The next closest was Tom Beattie with only nine.\n\nScotty Washington led a four-pack of Matadors who cracked double-digits at 24. Marcus Adams Jr. was next with 18. PJ Fuller II poured in 14, and Keonte Jones added 12 of his own.\n\nThe 'Bows jumped out to an early 10-4 lead and held a 12-6 advantage, but CSUN's defense proved to be the turning point.\n\nCSUN went on a 19-4 run early in the first half to take the lead and not look back.\n\nBy halftime, CSUN was ahead, 38-29.\n\nFor UH, the second half did not show any improvement. They fell behind by as many as 22 due to being outrebounded by 15, 40-25, overall. They were also outhustled and were held to just 3-of-20 from 3-point range to CSUN's 8-of-14.\n\nFailing to go after loose balls and executing shots in the paint would ultimately doom the 'Bows, who had not fallen to CSUN at home since 2019.\n\nOn a good note, newcomer Osahon Obasohan scored a season-high five points to provide some energy. A Gytis Nemeikša two-hand slammer with 6:25 remaining put the 'Bows down 12, but that was the closest they could get.\n\nCSUN's Washington scored the next 13 to keep the gap from getting any closer.\n\nUH drops to 3-3 in Big West play and 11-6 overall, just days after jumping up to third place in the standings. They are now down to a tie for sixth in the standings with UC Riverside, CSU Bakersfield, and Long Beach State.\n\nUH will stay at home and take on the Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners on Saturday, Jan. 18 at 7 p.m. HST at the Stan Sheriff Center.
