US EditionJohnson scores 18 in Hawaii's 88-45 victory over Cal Riverside
Hawaii men’s basketball achieved its largest road and conference win margin in history, with seven straight wins and 13 three-pointers by eight players, coach Eran Ganot said.
- On January 2, 2026, Hawaii men's basketball defeated UC Riverside 88-45 in a road blowout, extending their streak to seven straight and playing their first road game since November 4.
- Hawaii shot efficiently, hitting 13 3-pointers with eight different shooters and building an early 18-4 lead that grew to an 18-point halftime advantage.
- Bench scorers stepped up as Gytis Nemeiksa scored 13, Isaac Finlinson 10 and Isaiah Kerr nine, while center Isaac Johnson added 18 points and six rebounds.
- The result moves Hawaii forward as they prepare to face defending Big West champion UC San Diego and make their last scheduled SRC Arena visit before joining the Mountain West.
- Despite the win, UH dealt with roster disruptions as Jalen Myers has parted ways with the team, Tanner Cuff is out for the year, Yacine Toumi missed the game in street clothes, and Harry Rouhliadeff returned from an ankle scare.
