Hauns’ Highlight

No lie. You didn’t see this coming for the UH Men’s basketball team. A promising start to their season, solid mid season, then five straight losses to close out their WAC stay. The WAC tournament was just a formality. One and done, right? Then there was that tournament “W” against Idaho who executed Hawaii to a home loss. A chance perhaps?

A 17-0 start to round 2 against New Mexico State. A repeat of the butt-whupping at Las Cruces, NM? Not so. The Bows dug deep and battled. Back and forth, blow after blow until the Warriors finally faltered.

What a game, punctuated by this unbelievably surprising highlight from #21 Hauns Brereton. The broken fast break initiated by 6-10 Vander Joaquim. A dump pass to a streaking Hauns on the right side. An open lane, defenders closing in. One motion, one hand. Right hand under the ball, elevating up, big man Nephawe flying for the block. Posterization. Highlight.
