We actually won in Hawaii in 2017 also. But here's the game you're thinking of.

Hawkins went for 40. Team scored 54 in the first half on 14-21 shooting from 3. Only shot 5-12 from 2 in the first half.

The loss in the BW tourney in the Corey Hawkins year will always hurt. We not only had the best team but were projected as a 13 or 14 seed, which means you winning a game is somewhat realistic, as opposed to a 16 where you’re more likely to lose by 40 than win.

We're pretty much relying on the starting 5 for the whole game. That could be a problem in the tournament. — BlueGoldAg

If we make it there, this could especially matter in the championship game when we’d be playing on back to back days.

Small sample but Hall was 20-37 from 3 this year but went 0-4 today and left 2 or 3 of those short. The general thought is that when you’re leaving shots short, you’re probably tired. I have no idea if that was the case for Hall tonight but she also missed 4 FTs after only missing 5 total coming into today.

Alright. Time to win 3 games in 4 days.

Hall has shot terribly tonight. 4 missed FTs and 0-4 from three with either 2 or 3 of those being way short.

Pretty ugly game. Hawaii has had a lot of open looks from 3 and just aren’t hitting (2-16). Give them 2 more and they’re still only at 25% but then it’s a 4 point game.

We’re going to need to play better to win the tournament.

Great start to the half. Keep it up and bury them.

Disappointing to be down at the half especially since we started so well. Need to come out in the second half like we did yesterday and how we started today.

Interesting from the Hawaii announcers but we’ll be on the same side of the bracket as Hawaii either way. If we win, we’re the 1 and Hawaii is 5. If Hawaii wins, they jump to 3 and we fall to 2.

We play Bakersfield first and then if we win it would be UCSB (barring them getting upset).

Riverside scored with 30 seconds left to win that game. Trailed the whole way before that. I think we would have been the 3 seed had CSUN won.

Eh, I mean there was only five minutes left and we're losing. If we're winning, then it's different and maybe you sit her for a couple minutes. Also not like it's the first half and you let her pick up her third foul.

Announcers made it sound like Gross didn't complain much so I'm guessing she knew it was five. Maybe she just trusted her senior to not pick up a cheap foul. Don't know if Cierra just didn't know or if she was hopeful that it was only her fourth.

Well, hope that's the stinker game. Win tomorrow and win the conference, then win three games in the tournament.

Can't believe we're going to lose after the way that third quarter ended. Thought for sure that was the turning point.

Too many missed layups.

Missed layup and then a foul on Cierra on the rebound. That hurts.

If she makes the layup we're down 2 and she's still in the game.

Boy that was a huge swing right there.

Down 9, Hawaii gets a block and goes the other way. But they turn the ball over and we get a layup to cut it to 7.

Hawaii gets a tech which not only gives us two FTs - which we make - but gives us the ball. Ags hit a 3 and it's down to 2.

Forgot about the technical foul being 2 shots and giving the ball to the other team. I'm used to the NBA where it's just one shot and whoever had the ball keeps it.

Seemed like an odd tech but works in our favor so I'll take it.

Couple dubious foul calls there didn't help.

Offense seems to be picking it up. Defense doing better too.

We got this.

I barely watched any of the half but based on the stats, that seems like an "everything went wrong" half. Hawaii had 9 offensive boards early second quarter, we shot 33% from the field and 20% from 3, and had three more turnovers.

Glad they got it to single digits by the end of the half. Still think we'll win but we're going to have to work for it.
