NCAA Tournament- Kansas Region Second Round, Part 1
This post features the top half of the Kansas Region, and our game of the pod.
(12) Hawaii vs. (5) Wisconsin -- It didn't look like this would be much of a game early on, as Wisconsin raced out to a 14-4 lead, but Hawaii would come storming back, taking their first lead of the game, 33-32, on an Isaac Fotu jumper. From there the lead changed several times, but Hawaii led 55-49 at halftime. There were 10 lead changes and 4 ties in the second half alone, but with 2 minutes to go and Hawaii leading 81-80, the Rainbow Warriors would score 13 of the last 19 points of the game. Hawaii pulls the upset, 94-86. All 5 starters scored in double digits for Hawaii, led by Fotu with 17. Wisconsin was led by Traevon Jackson and Frank Kaminsky who each had 16.
