The win capped off a perfect 6-0 homestand in December as UH improved to 11-3 overall and 2-0 in the Big West. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-7bb276bc-7fff-759e-c375-8ae3a0769148\">The &#8216;Bows did it again with excellent defense as they held the Mustangs (7-7-, 1-1) scoreless for the first nine minutes of the game to take a 16-0 lead.  UH never trailed in the game, but in the second half of the game he needed to hold off a resilient Cal Poly team who finished within four points.  At UH he beat the Mustangs five times in a row overall and in Honolulu he beat the Mustangs nine times in a row. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-7bb276bc-7fff-759e-c375-8ae3a0769148\">UH led offensively <dfn>Noel Coleman<\/dfn>, <dfn>Kamakahepa<\/dfn>When <dfn>Jobon McClanahan<\/dfn> 12 points each. Hepa also added nine rebounds and his team-high three assists.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-7bb276bc-7fff-759e-c375-8ae3a0769148\">Bowes set up a defensive clinic early on. Mustang missed his 11 shots in the first and UH took his 16-0 lead. But Cal Polly hit his nine of his next 13 shots and held his UH without a basket for his final three minutes of the first half to take the deficit to 27-22. By cutting back and entering the locker room, we got through a rough start. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-7bb276bc-7fff-759e-c375-8ae3a0769148\">UH took the lead back to 11 points after the break and kept the Mustangs at bay for much of the half. Kobe Sanders&#8217; bucket made the game 52-48 with 2:14 remaining. But despite playing his fifth game in the last 10 days, Bowes didn&#8217;t falter and kept the Mustangs scoreless.  The 48 points was a season-low for UH opponents. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-7bb276bc-7fff-759e-c375-8ae3a0769148\">UH shot just 37% from the field, making only 1 of 11 3-point attempts. However, Bowes excelled from the free-throw line and took the win 30-24. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-7bb276bc-7fff-759e-c375-8ae3a0769148\">The Rainbow Warriors head out for two games in Southern California, starting Thursday, January 5 against UC San Diego. Tips are at LionTree Arena at 7pm PT\/5pm HT. <\/span><br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p><strong><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-7bb276bc-7fff-759e-c375-8ae3a0769148\">#Hawaii MBB<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/__i\/rss\/rd\/articles\/CBMidmh0dHBzOi8vaGF3YWlpYXRobGV0aWNzLmNvbS9uZXdzLzIwMjIvMTIvMzEvbWVucy1iYXNrZXRiYWxsLW1lbnMtYmFza2V0YmFsbC1iZWF0cy1jYWwtcG9seS1mb3Itc2l4dGgtc3RyYWlnaHQtd2luLmFzcHjSAQA?oc=5\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Next game: at UC San Diego January 5, 2023 | 5:00 PM PT ESPN Honolulu Thursday, January 5 \/ 5:00 PM HT &#13; and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3423,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":[],"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3422","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-basketball","two-columns"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Coleman__Noel_DSC2962.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3422","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3422"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3422\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3423"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3422"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3422"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3422"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
