HONOLULU, Hawai`i—Hawai`i's Noah Allen scored 24 points, hitting six of ten three-pointers as the Rainbow Warriors pulled away early for an 86-55 win over Hawai`i Hilo on Tuesday night at the Stan Sheriff Center.

The game was a counter for both teams. The Rainbow Warriors moved over the .500 mark at 3-2, while the Vulcans dropped to 1-3 on the year.

The 2016 NCAA tournament team knocked down 13 treys in the game and out-rebounded their sister school, 42-33. Brian Ishola led the Vulcans with 18 points and six rebounds.

"They are a very good team," Vulcan head coach GE Coleman said of the Rainbow Warriors. "They outplayed us tonight. We can't expect to beat a team when we allow them that many open three-pointers, they are too good."

The Rainbow Warriors tore it up early on the offensive end. They jumped out to an 11-2 lead in the first three minutes of the contest. By the halfway point of the first half, Hawaii's Allen had ten points and UH Manoa had a 24-12 lead. UHH's Ishola had his teams' first eight points and the Vulcans' leading scorer on the year Parker Farris didn't get his first field goal until just under three minutes were left before intermission.

The Rainbow Warriors would go on to convert 9 of 18 treys in the first half. Allen, the UCLA transfer, had 16 points at the break. Ishola had 14 for the Vulcans. Hawaii had 14 assists on their 16 field goals as the home team posted a 45-24 lead at intermission.

Allen scored eight points in the first five minutes after the break to put an exclamation point on his night. Hawai`i, who lost to No. 5 North Carolina by just 15 points a few nights ago, was able to clear the bench a quarter of the way into the second half.

"Noah Allen is going to be one of the best players in the Big West," Coleman predicted.

Hawai`i had its biggest lead of the night at 37 points with less than two minutes to play, before settling for the final margin.

Ryley Callaghan joined Ishola in double figures with 10 points. Ishola hit 6-of-11 shots from the field and converted 5-of-6 free throw attempts. It was just his second game in a Vulcan uniform. "Brian is still shaking the rust off and is going to get better and better," Coleman added of the North Dakota State transfer.

The Vulcans shot just 35 percent from the field and turned the ball over 19 times. Farris, who came into the game averaging 27 points a contest, was held to just five on one-of-seven shooting.

"They did a great job of making everything difficult for Parker tonight," Coleman said. "Every catch was contested."

Sheriff Drammeh had 16 points for the Rainbow Warriors. Allen had ten rebounds to go with his 24 points for a double-double.

The Vulcans will now take a short Thanksgiving break before opening Pacific West Conference play next Wednesday (Nov. 30) at Chaminade.
