HONOLULU, HI. – Fullerton Men's Basketball fell 72-55 on Saturday night at the Stan Sheriff Center in Honolulu, HI. 

Latrell Wrightsell Jr. and Damari Milstead each had nine points to lead the Titans in the scoring column, while Vincent Lee chipped in with eight points.

Wrightsell got off to a hot start from behind the arc, sinking two early threes, giving the Titans an 8-7 lead. 

Lee also slammed home two dunks during the early portion of the first half, as part of a 14-0 run as the Titans took a 17-7 lead with 10:50 to go in the first half.

Hawai'i would respond with a run of their own to make it a two point game, 17-15 with 8:48 left in the first half.

The teams would trade buckets for the next few minutes before Hawai'i hit a three as time expired in the half, taking a 30-24 lead into the halftime break.

Lee would go to work down low to begin the second half for the Titans. His third dunk of the night got the Titans within four.

Hawai'i would then go for a 12-0 run to take a 42-28 lead with 14 minutes left in the game. The Rainbow Warriors made five straight field goals on that run, and didn't look back.

The Titans could not get their three-point shots to fall throughout the second half, and could not chip into the Hawai'i lead, eventually falling 72-55 on Saturday night.

Up Next: The Titans continue their road trip at UC Santa Barbara on Thursday, Feb. 17 at 7 p.m.
