Nick Milan , a graduate assistant carnival alaska cruises for the Warriors, showed he hasn't carnival alaska cruises lost much of his shooting touch from his Kaimuki High days as he helped Solar Universe torch National carnival alaska cruises Fire Protection, 124-78, Thursday night in the Hawai i College Basketball Summer League at Manoa Recreation Center gym.
The Warrior trio combined to shoot 9-for-13 from 3-point range in the first half, with each knocking down three 3's. Milan hit three in a row in one stretch, helping Solar increase a 48-22 lead to 65-29 in less than three minutes.
Spearman scored 15 of his 17 points in the opening 20 minutes, while Milan finished with 16 points, carnival alaska cruises six rebounds and three assists. Enos contributed 13 points, five rebounds and three assists as Solar coach Artie Wilson allowed his second unit to play as much or more than the starters. Reserve Nick Demusis (Mililani High/Cypress College) led Solar with 22 points.
Warrior freshman Isaac Fotu , a 6-foot-9 post from New Zealand, continued his impressive summer league play. He led Fire (3-4) with 20 points on 9-of-13 shooting, and added eight rebounds and two blocks.
Ex-Kaiser High star Kaunaoa McGee added 19 points for Flipbooks (7-1). UH junior forward Christian Standhardinger did not play for Flipbooks due to a one-game suspension after being ejected in his last game.
UH junior guard Garrett Jefferson scored 16 of his team-high 22 points in the second half to help Wealth (1-7) keep it close. His two free throws with 46.9 seconds left made it 95-90, but Wealth could get no closer. Jefferson, who shot 9 of 17 from the field, ended the game with a reverse jam.
Warrior redshirt freshman Brandon Jawato , making his summer league debut after coming off an ankle injury, added five points for Wealth. His minutes were limited in the second half due to the injury.

Looks like Spearman carnival alaska cruises and Jefferson could be a good backcourt as well, Jefferson really worked on his offensive game a LOT this offseason, very good Garrett , keep it up And Brandon carnival alaska cruises Spearman, never knew he had offense out to 3 line..Nice to see Jawato getting some time..
carnival alaska cruises When you think of it, just Enos, Spearman, Jefferson, Fotu and Jawato, would make a very competitive team in summer carnival alaska cruises league by themselves..Like the size of guards, and shooting ability of Harper and Enos as walkons..and think about it We still haven t seen a healthy Manroop Clair, as well as Davis and Vander back in the mix along with Christian ..I like Caleb too, he can only get stronger, quicker , better..good shooting touch..
I like the OFFENSIVE Potential of team..now when they get into Fall camp and go at it DEFENSIVELY, IMO , I think right now they have some talent to get after it full court, traps, etc, they can do damage this year.. and with Fotu, Christian, Vander, Davis, and Caleb..team carnival alaska cruises can have pretty good success..UH MBB team , keep working hard, stay together..you carnival alaska cruises guys will be alright..continue on to get your degrees or NBA lottery pick..well carnival alaska cruises one can dream?!!
Fotu made a couple of plays that surprised me. On each, he gathered a bounce pass at or below his waistline and without any wasted motion completed a layup to score on a break. Not too many freshman post players can make that play, and he did it effortlessly. He continues to impress offensively. Too bad Vander isn t here; I d like to see what Fotu can do against an experienced post player with defensive skills.
the question is can they improve their consistency enough that Game Time (D-1), can they shoot better than their historical 30% break even three point shooters; 33-40% and 45% or better moving inside; ['Roop and Hauns 'should' be alright)];
And Can Jace, Clair and Co. move/distribute the ball effectively (enough) that the front line can create enough carnival alaska cruises separation from opponents to withstand those late Big West Shoot-out rallies (the league seems to be built on jump-shooting/penetrating wings we should win the inside 3 or 4 out of five games, but by enough?)
The men s team, awaiting carnival alaska cruises Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic and Bracket Buster pairings and, possibly a backyard Division II foe, has one NCAA Tournament participant, Nevada-Las Vegas, carnival alaska cruises and will likely end up with, at most, two.
The men will ease into their season with the first three regular-season opponents carnival alaska cruises having a collective 28-65 record. The women will leap right in, challenged early by four teams that went a combined 103-36.
Dallan: I think it was DTD who scheduled super tough teams, with intention to prepare her team for Conference play. That murderer s row, not really Beeman s fault. With Gib, tie in to ESPN Diamond Head, Bracketbuster, etc. and majority of games in BWC , which is not high RPI conference..am sure that Gib and staff could have, who knows maybe did..however if memory serves correct..even Riley, wanted some big name teams for old Rainbow Classic and to come over for home and home, however, when the UH MBB team was beating Kansas, Indiana, and Michigan St. ..a lot of those teams, felt there was more to lose than to gain by playing Hawaii at Hawaii, if they win, they are supposed to..if they lose, wow the spit hits the fan.,..
The Dukes, North Carolina s , UCLA s etc, have their share of opening season cupcakes, teams I did not know even existed..UH MBB, if attain really huge success by winning couple of games in NCAA tourney, maybe they have home and home with the Dukes, North Carolinas etc..I think it is life in the middle of the Pacific..Heck for the UH MBB team, just have to win plenty games and go NCAA several times in a row, and win a game or two..won t matter, too much,..if you are ticket holder, maybe..goint back to FAB 5 days..had some smaller schools they played back to back nights..after awhile, good teams did not want to come here to play them ..and that was 40 years ago..LIFE in Paradise for MBB!!
I saw the SB article, it is obvious the writer carnival alaska cruises is trying to sell newspapers and cause controversy, that is typically how he writes. It is true the schedule is not very strong at all, but any person that follows men s NCAA basketball knows that top caliber teams do not travel to play mid-major schools at home. The only way to play these teams is to go on the road, they are not coming to play a non-conference game at UH. I hate to say it but the women s team is able to draw top caliber teams because those teams are looking at guaranteed wins. Once the women s team wins a few of those games, those teams will not be traveling to Hawaii any more. A good example of this is Gonzaga. Gonzaga could not get any Top 25 teams to come play them at home, so they went on the road for many years. Now that Gonzaga is a Top 25 year in and year out, they are able to schedule home and homes with some of these teams. Also take a look at Long Beach State, a current Big West member, they have been going on the road as well because they are unable to draw Top 25 teams to play them at home (and they are in California). I myself would like to see the team take an approach similar to Gonzaga and start playing carnival alaska cruises 1 or 2 road games a year to play ACC, Big 12, Pac 12, etc at their house. I think it will give the team some exposure and help in recruiting additonal talent. I d like to see the SB writer throw out some facts next time instead carnival alaska cruises of just stiring the pot.
Ferd is like Point/Counterpoint or , Ferd, I don t know what he trying to do, sell papers, the real fans that know UH hoops and knew Red and Riley, Larry, Bruce, Frank, Bob and now Gib know already that having even 3 or 4 top 25 teams to come to Hawaii is very tough sell, especially as UH MBB gets stronger teams..Thanks Manoa Baller, you are right on, yeah , I can comment on Ferd s blog, he was the one starting the sinking ship UH MBB thing, the Vandergate, now scheduling conflict..n2o4joy, carnival alaska cruises if Ferd doesn t stir up something, nothing for him to write about..all Gib and staff and team have to do, WIN consistently, win conference tourney championships and go dancing in the NCAA every year for several years..and Manoa Baller, another poster alluded to that scenario too, schedule the PAC 12 lower level schools, lot of local connection and ex Hawaii residents in Cali and Pacific Northwest, as well as playing Gonzaga on a regular basis, or a Butler, or a couple of SEC, Big East, ACC teams at their house..doesn t have to be 10 games against top 40 teams, that would be killer, esp, on road, however, if Gib and team can go, as some mid major, and even low major teams have upset UNC, UCLA, etc at their home courts,, that would be the goal..then UH could be more creative with scheduling..however, double edged sword, now Hawaii is the beast of Pacific and NCAA tourney regulars..the Big boys more scared..ah, who cares..Gib just win, retain players, and be happy and keep team happy, and we the fans support the guys and UH.!!
i think Ferd comparing men s and women s schedules is about as deep (shallow) as his Athletic Department running another Negative carnival alaska cruises Budget Year OR Season Ticket RENEWALS Fall for the Fifth Straight Year Of Course because the only way you get 100% Renewals is IF No One Dies, Moves to Another State (Transfers!!!), Suffers the Need for Long Term Care, Loses a Job or Cuts Back the Family Budget OR Any of Life s many Calamities
I think it would be far more thoughtful and thought provoking to actually suggest a few solutions or help to explain Why it is the way it is as if the coaches don t have enough trouble just filling up the schedule, much less getting who they want and where
I thought DTD was crazy to schedule so many losses yes, you can go overboard carnival alaska cruises in trying to be your best by playing the best and it does increase the odds that you have a hot game against a team that has an off day or takes you too lightly (always a risk in basketball), but it also accelerates the odds you get fired for n
