Tough Hawaii Travel - Part 2

The travel caught-up with Hawaii and they got waxed 67-51 by Utah St.

Head coach Nash put the Bows through a 3-hour practice yesterday that was closed to the media.

"There was a lot of screaming and yelling; going back to our basics," Nash said. "We didn't want to embarrass any of the guys in front of the press or the public, so that was one reason why we did a closed practice. But we also wanted to impress upon everybody how important these next two games are."

Nash hints that Hawaii will play a little faster as well: "Obviously, we aren't shooting the ball very well, and teams are packing it in against us," Nash said. "We're tinkering with some things, making some adjustments that will hopefully generate points."

Hawaii will face a similar travel schedule when they play a game at Fresno State on Feb. 19, then have to return for a home game Feb. 21 for the ESPN BracketBusters game.
