Dre Bullock scored 15 points and grabbed five rebounds and fellow grad transfer Gytis Nemeiksa added 15 points and four boards Friday night to help Hawai’i shoot past visiting North Dakota, 92-55, in nonconference men’s basketball action.
An announced crowd of 4,088 (tickets issued) in BankOh Arena at the Stan Sheriff Center watched Isaac “Big Fish” Johnson score 14 points and grab six rebounds and Isaiah Kerr and Isaac Finlinson each add 14 points and three boards off the bench as the Warriors improved to 6-2. Greyson Uelman scored a game-high 19 points for North Dakota, which fell to 3-6.
UH took a 44-30 lead at halftime and never looked back, shooting 55.2 percent (16 of 29) from the field, including 36.4 percent (4 for 11) from 3-point range.
For one of the few times this season, eleven players saw action for the Warriors, and all but one got into the scoring column.
“Our depth has shown, we’ve had guys in-and-out, we’ve been able to continue to improve,” Warriors coach Eran Ganot said. “Our true depth was really shown in this last game where we had everybody at our disposal, so to speak, a good 9-to-10-man rotation and other guys who can certainly work their way in. Whereas before, we were just showing ‘Next man, every man,’ now it feels like EVERY man. Hopefully we can stay healthy the rest of the way, I think that will be a big key for us moving forward.”
