Hawaii dominates UH-Hilo behind ball movement breakthrough

HONOLULU – Big win over the Big Island.

The third-largest margin of victory in UH program history, to be exact.

The University of Hawai’i men’s basketball team rolled to a 98-46 win on Wednesday night, dismantling the University of Hawai’i-Hilo (0-6) inside Bankoh Arena at Stan Sheriff Center behind the best shooting, passing and defensive displays of the year. Senior forward Harry Rouhliadeff paced the hosts, scoring 16 points, grabbing nine rebounds and handing out a career-best five assists.

“I’m just very pleased,” head coach Eran Ganot said following the game. “There was some stuff in the first half that we didn’t like as much but in the second half, it was a complete performance.”

From the opening moments, Hawai’i (9-2, 2-0 Big West) torched the zone defense of UH-Hilo (0-6) as the ball whipped around to set new high-water marks in made 3-pointers (13) and assists (25). Five players knocked down multiple threes for UH and six players finished in double figures while 11 of the 13 guys on the active roster ended up with points.

Dre Bullock enjoyed a short but productive night, scoring 12 points to go with four rebounds despite playing a season-low 14 minutes in the blowout. Hunter Erickson, Ike Finlinson and Gytis Nemeikša each chipped in 11 points and combined to hit seven of Hawai’i’s 13 made triples.

After last year’s heart-pounding preseason win on the Big Island saw the Rainbow Warriors turn the ball over 25 times against the Vulcans, UH put on a polar opposite performance on O’ahu with a season-low six turnovers. The defense continued to trend towards elite numbers, holding UH-Hilo to a season-low 48 points.

“It’s a mini-breakthrough and hopefully it leads to bigger breakthroughs,” Ganot said of the sweet shooting, high assist rate and low turnover numbers. “That is a step; If we want to get to where we want to be, we want to stay effective where we are being effective and then we’ve got to make those breakthroughs.”

The Rainbow Warriors raced out of the gates once again, draining five triples in the game’s opening eight minutes to snatch a 25-8 lead over the Vulcans before many fans had returned from pre-game concession stand trips. The long-distance onslaught continued throughout the first half for Hawai’i as they hit a total of nine 3-pointers over the opening 20 minutes to double up UH-Hilo heading into the break, 48-24.

The Vulcans shot 38% from the field in the first half, seeing UH’s suffocating defense smother any rhythm that the visitors tried to find on offense.

“Credit to them, they’ve got a really good team and they’re playing really well, too,” said UH-Hilo head coach Kaniela Aiona after the game. “Physically, we just struggled to match up with them from the beginning.”

The lead grew to 35 quickly after play resumed as Bullock drained Hawai’i’s 11th 3-pointer of the night, setting a new single-game high from distance for the Rainbow Warriors with 17:16 left in regulation.

The Vulcans finally hit their first 3-pointer of the game with 13:01 remaining when Jamal Entezami connected from distance. UH-Hilo was held to a season-worst 2-of-15 shooting performance from 3-point range.

Aaron Hunkin-Claytor got over double figures for the second time this season with 8:41 to play after finishing an and-one to push the Hawai’i lead to 40. The sophomore guard scored 11 points and handed out five assists while finishing as a plus-47 in 23 minutes of work in the win.

Hawai’i’s reserves closed out the crushing of the Vulcans, led by walk-on guard AJ Economou over the final 10 minutes of the 98-46 victory. The sophomore finished the night with seven points, three rebounds, three steals and a block in his first true extended run as a Rainbow Warrior, knocking down a pair of 3-pointers down the stretch – much to the delight of his teammates watching from the bench.

“Those are my guys,” Economou said when asked about his teammates and the reaction from the bench. “It’s like we have a different bond. So, I think when I got in and hit some shots, they’re definitely going to be fired up, for sure.”

The California native didn’t score a point in 11 appearances last season, playing sparingly in games well out of reach in either direction for the Rainbow Warriors. He recorded his first career college basket on November 9 against East Texas A&M and has now points in five of the seven games he’s seen action in this year.

“Oh, it’s great,” Ganot smiled when asked about Economou. “Off the charts attitude, incredible young man … You can see how he’s gotten bigger and stronger and improved. ”

Economou acknowledged being able to find a rhythm with an extended period of playing time on Wednesday, crediting a mindset of always staying ready for helping him get through the trials of being a reserve on a talented team.

“It’s hard, it’s discouraging at times,” the walk-on guard said when asked about waiting his turn while not seeing much time behind talented veterans. “Keeping your head in it is the most important thing for me … I don’t like to give up so I think, you know, my chance and my time will come.”

Hawai’i closes out the non-conference slate on Saturday, hosting former WAC and future Mountain West foe UTEP inside Bankoh Arena at 7:00 p.m. HT for the team’s final game of the 2025 calendar year.

Hawai’i Pacific shoots past Hawai’i Hilo in PacWest opener

HONOLULU – Starting conference play the right way. 

The Hawai’i Pacific University women’s basketball team kicked off the PacWest conference schedule with a win over the University of Hawai’i-Hilo on Friday evening, 59-50. Freshman guard Morgan Hawkins led the way for the Sharks, scoring 13 points while tallying five rebounds and a pair of steals in the victory. 

The Vulcans had eight total active players for team’s first road game of the year as early-season injuries have piled up, seeing senior forwards Erica Ingram and Noelle Su’a-Godinet and junior guard Kalie Cruz not make the trip to face off against the Sharks. After missing the season opener against HPU, a rare non-conference matchup between the PacWest programs, Keirstyn Agonias made her presence felt with 11 points to help keep UH-Hilo competitive until the final buzzer sounded in the loss. 

The Sharks started slowly, seeing the visitors take an early 4-0 lead behind UC Irvine transfer Caiyle Kaupu’s back-to-back buckets. Ella Berge and Hawkins each would split trips to the free throw line before Iowa State transfer MaryKate King swiped the ball and took it in for a breakaway layup to knot the game at four. 

Back-to-back triples from Serenity Santos and King gave HPU (3-2) a five-point lead with 5:35 left to play in the opening quarter, continuing to display the improvement from long range for the Sharks this season. Erika Glenn drilled the team’s third triple of the frame a few minutes later as Hawai’i Pacific took a 17-10 lead after 10 minutes of play. 

Hawai’i-Hilo sprinted out of the gates in the second quarter, using a 6-1 run over the first two minutes of the frame to pull back within a basket, but a three from Ella Berge and fastbreak finish by Hawkins quickly restored the seven-point advantage for Hawai’i Pacific. Freshman forward KeanuMarie HuiHui answered back with a 3-pointer of her own for the Vulcans, trying to keep the visitors afloat after Kaupu picked up two early fouls. 

The Sharks would outscore the Vulcans by five points to close out the first half, taking a 31-22 lead into the locker room by drilling all six free throw tries and holding UH-Hilo without a made field goal for the final 4:31of the half. 

Hawkins came out in a hurry to start the third quarter, scoring the first six points for HPU as the lead extended to double figures for the first time all game. Seven straight points from Serenity Santos and another Berge 3-pointer extended HPU’s lead all the way to 16 by the end of the frame, taking a 48-32 advantage into the final 10 minutes as the Vulcans made 2-of-15 shots in the period. 

The shooting stayed hot for Hawai’i Pacific into the fourth, keeping Hawai’i-Hilo at a distance for much of the final frame before one final push from Agonias and HuiHui brought the Vulcans within single digits before the final buzzer, 59-50. 

KeanuMarie HuiHui led the Vulcans with 15 points, hitting 5-of-11 of her shots as the freshman displayed reasons for fans to be hopeful about her future in a Hawai’i-Hilo uniform. Agonias and Caiyle Kaupu each chipped in 11 points in the second straight loss to the Sharks for UHH. 

HPU senior Ella Berge added 10 points and seven rebounds as she continued her hot start to the 2024-25 season. Sophomore wing Serenity Santos chipped in 10 points, the second time in three games that the San Joaquin Delta (CA) transfer has broken double figures. 

The Sharks will be back in action on December 14, taking the short trip over to Chaminade to face the Silverswords in the first game of a men’s and women’s basketball doubleheader. Tip-off for the women’s game is scheduled for 2 p.m. HT with the men’s game set to take place right after around 4 p.m. HT. Both games will be broadcast live on the Hawaii Sports Radio Network, 95.1 FM, AM 760 and streaming on hawaiisportsradio.com and will be posted for on-demand listeners.

Mana Wahine Wednesday: Hawai’i basketball guard Kelsie Imai

BY PAUL BRECHT | HONOLULU
PUBLISHED OCTOBER 30, 2024

HONOLULU – Kelsie Imai had a long wait, but the highly anticipated return to the Big Island was even more emotional than she expected. 

A spark plug guard that has played a variety of roles in her 107 games with the Rainbow Wahine, Imai is a part of a special group of eight total UH seniors. A 2020 graduate of Waiakea High School, she is one of the three fifth-year seniors that have been with the program for their entire career that will say “aloha” to the University of Hawai’i at the end of the 2024-25 season as her eligibility expires along with recruiting class members MeiLani McBee and Daejah Phillips. 

Imai joined the program during the COVID-shortened 2020-21 season, coming over to O’ahu and starting 16 of the 17 games in her first season in UH attire. She quickly showed the grit she was bringing over from the Big Island as the 5-foot-7 guard’s first career double-double was a 10-point, 12-rebound performance against UC Davis. 

The next two seasons came without matchups against Hawai’i-Hilo for UH-Mānoa, but Imai continued in a key role as a connector on the floor for Laura Beeman. In her second season with the program, she finished with the 2nd-most assists on the team while playing the 4th-most minutes and started 28 of 32 games at point guard in her third year with UH. 

The Vulcans returned to the 2023-24 Rainbow Wahine schedule for a matchup before the regular season began, this time with Imai preparing to thrive in a different role off the bench for UHM. The tough, spunky guard showed fans that they could count on her to fill the box sheet still despite the role switch, scoring five points while collecting three rebounds and three assists in 15 minutes in the 2023 scrimmage versus Hawai’i-Hilo. 

The switch proved to be so good that Imai earned the honor of being named the team’s most improved player at the end of the year. The Pahoa-native led the Rainbow Wahine team in assists despite coming off the bench in 30 of 31 games for Beeman and improved defensively, posting her lowest rate of fouls committed per game of her career. 

After four years with the program, Imai had checked off nearly every desire for a college career: win multiple regular season Big West Conference titles, multiple Big West Conference tournament titles, make the postseason every year with the team and more. With one final year left to play, Imai still had an important trip on her mind left to take. 

After the Rainbow Wahine’s trip to the Big Island was officially announced on September 23, Imai partially joked that her pestering the coaching staff about a trip to the Big Island for years had paid off. 

“We talked about this for a couple of years now and I would always bug [associate head coach Alex Delanian] like when are you going to take me home? I want to play against Hilo in Hilo,” Imai chuckled telling the media on September 26. “I’m super excited to play in front of my family, especially my grandparents – they haven’t seen me play since high school in person.” 

In a weekend touted as the Big Island Basketball Event, the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa and the University of Hawai’i-Hilo would partake in exhibitions against each other on Friday, October 25 and Sunday, October 27 with the men’s and women’s teams both putting on keiki clinics on the Saturday in between at the Pana’ewa Park Gym. 

The weekend and three events were organized by Kawazoe Sports and Entertainment, who sent portions of the proceeds towards both Motiv8 and Hilo Charities. After seeing issues with humidity and slipping on the floor at Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium on Friday night in the men’s exhibition, multiple people (including the Imai family) joined together on Saturday in an effort to find four floor fans to help keep the floor dry and avoid the safety concerns for the women’s matchup on Sunday. 

The keiki clinics brought smiles on smiles for more than 100 young hoopers on Saturday, seeing multiple shirts of Imai in anticipation of Sunday’s scrimmage.  

“I’m just so blessed and so thankful that I am able to come from such a loving community,” Imai said following the final keiki clinic. “They always welcome me home with open arms and I’m just so excited that I was able to help out in a little way and give back to the keiki.” 

Those keiki and their families gave back by showing out in full force for the 2:00 p.m. Sunday afternoon tip-off between the Rainbow Wahine and Vulcans. Even with the “Imai Family and Friends” group of more than 30 people not being counted, more than 1,000 fans piled into the Civic to watch UH-Mānoa beat Hawai’i-Hilo, 69-50. 

Imai struggled to find her offensive groove early, not getting into the score book until she knocked down a pair of free throws with 1:23 left in the first half, but still found ways to impact the game with a pair of rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot in the opening 20 minutes. 

The second half saw a more in-character Imai as she settled in, scoring six points while adding another steal and three assists to finish the day with all five major statistical categories filled up.  

 “Kelsie definitely was pressing a little bit today – we anticipated that – but I think it was so meaningful for her and her family to see so many people show up for her,” said head coach Laura Beeman. 

Imai admitted as much after the game, discussing the emotional weekend from bringing her team to her family’s home when they arrived on Big Island to the keiki clinics to playing in front of family with her Rainbow Wahine teammates in the gym she saw games in growing up. 

“Super emotional for me,” the senior guard said on Sunday. “Like yesterday, I think I cried a little bit just thinking like wow, I’m really getting to end where I started.” 

Following the exhibition, both teams stayed to sign autographs for fans in attendance as a thank you for the support of both programs. Of course, Imai was a popular ask for autographs and photos as the local girl came back to Hilo.

For the 5th-year senior, the weekend served as an excellent reminder. 

“Being able to play in front of my family who hasn’t seen me play in a while in person just means the most,” Imai said. “Coming home and bringing my team made me realize there really is not place like home and the aloha here on the Big Island, it’s everywhere.” 

The Rainbow Wahine will head to Maui this weekend for the second neighbor island trip in eight days, taking on Chaminade in another exhibition. The matchup will tip-off on Saturday, November 2 at 2:00 p.m. at Kamehameha Schools Maui with the men’s UH and Chaminade teams facing off after the women’s game concludes. 

Admission for the exhibitions is free and Maui-based musicians and entertainers will be in attendance to perform throughout the games. Food trucks and concession stands will be open with food and drinks for purchase for those in attendance. 

The weekend was put together with a collaborative effort between the Hawai’i Tourism Authority (HTA), the University of Hawai’i and the County of Maui’s Office of Economic Development and will include a free keiki clinic for players in grades 4-6 at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, November 1 at Lahainaluna High School to kick off the weekend.

HILO – Give back to the people that give to you.  

The University of Hawai’i-Mānoa and University of Hawai’i-Hilo basketball programs came together Saturday afternoon at the Pana’ewa Park Gym for a pair of Keiki clinics with young local hoopers, getting a chance to connect with the next generation of basketball players from the islands. 

Right in the middle of a packed weekend for the four programs, the two men’s programs came off a tightly contested matchup on Friday night that saw the Rainbow Warriors slip past the Vulcans, 64-61, and worked hand-in-hand with each other less than 24 hours later on Saturday to put on an enjoyable first session of skills development for the keiki.  

“It was really cool,” said Kaniela Aiona, head coach of the Vulcans men’s basketball team. “Great for the community here, you know the local keiki … a lot of them came to the game last night and then they get to interact with them today.” 

The young basketball players split into lines and were led through dynamic warm-ups and defensive slides to begin before being broken up into five groups to work on various skills such as ball handling, rebounding, defensive footwork and shooting. The first session ended with a game of “In-Out” before the teams and keiki came together for one final group photo after 90 minutes of fun. 

“Great day, great weekend, obviously going to cap it off for the community here with the women’s basketball game [on Sunday], but really happy for our guys and happy for the kids here,” Rainbow Warriors head coach Eran Ganot said after the clinic. “The objective was to play some basketball and grow as a team, which we did, and then shift gears to give back to the community that has been so good to so many. Just to see so many smiling faces, between the kids, our student-athletes, and the parents in the stands – it’s what it’s all about.” 

After the men’s programs wrapped up, the Vulcans women’s basketball program and Rainbow Wahine program entered the gym for their turn at another hour and a half of skills, drills and memories being made with local keiki. After Vulcans head coach David Kaneshiro addressed the new group of excited hoopers and both teams introduced themselves by name to the keiki, the fun continued. 

“This is great, for the keiki, for youth basketball and I think especially for girls’ basketball,” Kaneshiro said. “The fact that we get to team up with UH-Mānoa is even better and I’m hoping we can keep this going in future years. Just a great afternoon, the keiki looked like they had a great time and certainly our players did.” 

Again, keiki split into groups and rotated around stations at the four different baskets over the course of the clinic. After every station rotation was completed, the college coaches addressed the group one final time before breaking for the day with a “1… 2… 3… Hawai’i basketball!” chant. 

“Any time we can come to the neighbor islands and just show some aloha, get our kids out working with these young keiki, I think it’s unbelievable,” Rainbow Wahine head coach Laura Beeman said after the event. “To be able to work with Hilo’s women’s basketball team I think is great as well – [UH-Hilo HC David Kaneshiro] is an amazing guy, he runs such a good program.” 

The fun for basketball lovers continues into Sunday when the Rainbow Wahine visit the Vulcans at Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium for a preseason exhibition game at 2 p.m. to close out the weekend. 

“Every year, [UH-Hilo] has come to the SSC to play us there, so for us to come over this way and play them here, I think it’s really fun,” Beeman closed with. “I just think any time you can give back to your community, that’s what you are supposed to do.

HILO – Basketball season is here. 

The University of Hawai’i at Mānoa took the trip to the Big Island for the first time in over a decade to face off against the University of Hawai’i-Hilo inside the Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium on Friday night, vanquishing the Vulcans 64-61 in front of a loud, engaged crowd. Graduate transfer center Tanner Christensen posted a double-double (13 points, 10 rebounds) in his first game in Rainbow Warrior threads while Gytis Nemeikša poured in a game-high 14 points for visiting UH-Mānoa. 

“There’s a reason we wanted to play (UH-Hilo) in Hilo,” Hawai’i head coach Eran Ganot said of the sweaty matchup against the Vulcans. “They built momentum off of turning us over, 2nd-chance points … the two best things that we did were finish the half well and finish the game well, but the rest of the game was theirs.”

Hawai’i out-rebounded UH-Hilo, 36-23, and shot 53.2 percent from the floor as nine different players etched stats in the scorebook, but the Vulcans used high-pressure defense and a pair of full-court presses to help force the Rainbow Warriors into 24 turnovers to help keep the game tight. Sophomore guard Tom Beattie, named a captain in his second season with the program, took a swing at handling lead guard duties for Hawai’i and chipped in 12 points and six assists while committing five turnovers in the victory. 

The Vulcans, much like the home crowd in attendance, were ready from the tip to blitz the Division I Rainbow Warriors as UH-Hilo won the jump ball and saw Jake Kosakowski drill a three-pointer to help the hosts open the game on a 7-1 run. After absorbing the initial offensive barrage, UH brought the game back within a bucket, 14-12, as Akira Jacobs showed off some of the improvements he worked on over summer by scoring seven of the next nine UH points. 

Hawai’i finally took the first lead of the night with just under six minutes left in the 1st half when Tom Beattie worked his way to the basket and laid it up with his right hand to make it 24-23 in favor of the Rainbow Warriors. The Vulcans responded with back-to-back 3-pointers from Julian Roberts and Julio Montes II to take a five-point lead with just over five minutes left before halftime. 

Back-to-back buckets by Nemeikša gave Hawai’i a slim one-point advantage as the seconds ticked closer to half and Christensen powered through a dunk just before the break to send the Rainbow Warriors into the locker room leading by three. 

The teams continued to trade baskets to begin the 2nd half, seeing Roberts knot the game at 42-all with 15 minutes left to play after Nemeikša and Christensen came out of the locker room strong for UH-Mānoa. The Vulcans, using an attacking style on both ends of the floor and the slick conditions of the court, quickly got the Rainbow Warriors into foul trouble as the Division I visitors were whistled for 10 fouls just seven minutes into the 2nd half action. 

Using free chances at the charity stripe and continuous turnovers in the backcourt by UH-Mānoa, UH-Hilo remained lurking for the program’s first victory against the Division I counterpart. After Montes II drilled a pair of free throws to give the Vulcans a 61-59 lead with under two minutes to play, Beattie and Christensen showed off some of the new-found two-man chemistry to pull the Rainbow Warriors away from the edge of defeat. 

Beattie got fouled with 47 seconds to play and calmly stepped to the free throw line, tying the game at 61-all with a pair of clean swishes for Hawai’i. After forcing a Vulcans miss on the ensuing possession, head coach Eran Ganot opted against calling a timeout and allowed the team to try to execute down the stretch. 

“”[Beattie] had a lot of unforced turnovers that he’d like to have back [but] the big thing I’m proud of him because he’s a fighter and he saved his best for last,” Ganot said of his sophomore lead guard. “There’s a lot of people who struggle at times and wilt and he was at his absolute best late in the game. Big free throws, great decision late, big stops.”

Beattie and Christensen did so beautifully, working the pick-and-roll to perfection as the 6-foot-5 Beattie floated it over to the big man and Christensen absorbed the contact from a UH-Hilo defender to finish (plus the foul) and gave the Rainbow Warriors a three-point lead with 4.6 seconds left to play. 

“This team, especially with a lot of new faces, has to go through experiences like this,” Ganot said.

The Vulcans got the ball in to center Nadjrick Peat on the final inbound and the 6-foot-11 senior’s half-court heave bounced off the backboard, seeing the UH-Hilo upset bid come up short. 

Peat led UH-Hilo with 12 points and a pair of blocked shots while each Julian Roberts and Julio Montes II finished in double figures with 11 and 10 points respectively. The Vulcans begin the regular season in a week’s time when they travel to Canada for the CCA Canadian Tip-off Classic, facing Simon Fraser at 2:15 p.m. HT. 

Hawai’i will enjoy another exhibition on a neighbor island next weekend when they travel to Maui for a matchup against the Chaminade Silverswords.
