Basketball: Hawaii at UC Irvine

Hawaii 9-19:  The quality of the UC Irvine stream is very good; the players are actually recognizable. Only problem is that there is no audio and the audio stream is slightly ahead of the video. Irvine on a 10-0 run.

Hawaii 15-22:  Ashleigh Karaitina falls, is slow to get up, and is limping a little bit when she finally does. Well that's not good. Irvine player goes flying into the basketball hoop base and she is slow to get up. That is not good either.

Half:  Hawaii 17-24. Commentator: "Kamilah Martin with only two points. Ashleigh Karaitiana with only two points. And they are Hawaii's best players."

Hawaii 22-32:  Fifteen minutes left in the game. You guys, UC Irvine has only won one game so far. Hawaii 24-32 after a jump shot by Kalei Adolpho. The commentator thinks that maybe Hawaii is tired. 

Hawaii 24-39:  Egads. Commentator:  "Not sure many people would have expected this." Hawaii can't get anything to fall. Martin at the free throw line, "She and Karaitiana are sitting on just two points." Martin makes one. I don't think Karaitiana has gone in yet during the second half.

Hawaii 28-39:  Eleven minutes left in the game. Commentator sounds frustrated at the "absolute panic" Irvine has been in; lots of errors including balls bouncing off the players' feet. Destiny King at the free throw line and makes both. King steals the ball at makes the layup all by herself. Commentator:  "That's all it is:  panic, just panic." He is getting quite salty.

Hawaii 34-39:  After a ten-nothing run by Hawaii. Commentator:  "Most of this Hawaii run directly because of UC Irvine's unforced errors. Three times bouncing off a player's foot. And then you have a very silly pass."

Hawaii 36-48:  The commentator is happy again. Seven minutes left to play. Hawaii might have dug themselves a hole a little too deep. Commentator:  "The Anteaters playing some inspirational basketball." Foul called on Karaitiana.   

Hawaii 52-64:  Hawaii gives UC Irvine their first home win of the season. Blergh. Kamilah Martin led the team with 12 points and 19 rebounds. Commentator still refusing to give any credit to Hawaii --- keeps attributing Hawaii scores "mainly due to UC Irvine errors." I do not like him.
