Basketball: Hawaii at UC Santa Barbara

Introductions:  Win! Please, please win. Commentator introduces "Kaley" Adolpho and Ashleigh "Karaytiana." There are reportedly a lot of people wearing green in the arena.

Hawaii 3-4:  First shot of the game was a three-pointer by Monica DeAngelis. And she gets another one. Hawaii 6-6. The commentators are doing sound check. Quick shot of a women's volleyball banner inside the arena. I guess they get a banner just for making it to the NCAA tournament.

Hawaii 18-19:  Someone please tell the commentator that it is "Karaitiana" with a hard "rai" (like the first part of "ride") and not "ray" like the sun. It's bugging me. Hawaii still trailing by one point with six minutes left to play. My video feed keeps stalling. Travel called on Destiny King. Hawaii 19-20. "Surprisingly, UCSB doing pretty good at home." Foul called against Marissa Wimbley. Commentator Two says she's overmatched and so has to play aggressively but may have been a little too aggressive.

Hawaii 20-22:  Commentator Two about Vicky Tagalicod:  "Athletic move. Kind of hung in the air with that scoop shot." DeAngelis has three three point shots so far. Hawaii 20-24 with three and a half minutes left to play in the first half.

Hawaii 22-24:  Commentator Two about Shawna Kuehu:  "She's the most impressive, in my mind; really talented down low." Foul called on Kuehu. Commentators talking about a player's hair. It's a mohawk. Commentator Two: "You'll have to explain that to me." Hawaii 22-25 with a minute and a half left to play. Diane Moore on the court. It's been a while since we've seen her.

Hawaii 22-26:  DeAngelis screws up the inbound pass. Destiny King at the free throw line and makes both.  Hawaii 24-26.

Half:  Hawaii 24-26. I have dinner plans, so will miss the second half, but I hope to come back and read that Hawaii won. Win, Hawaii, win!

Update!  They did win! 54-51. Watch the highlights here

    2. She has to control those passes better.

  3. Great win by Wahine (54-51). Martin, Kuehu, King score doubles; DeAngelis knocks down 3s but timely stops & clutch makes (incl FTs) secure the W. Refs try to help Gauchos w/non-calls; Wahine should've shot 80 FTAs (slight exaggeration) but Gauchos can't help themselves.

  6. News said that Pacific lost and that Hawaii is only one in first place :/ Wrong. Not that hard to look up.
