The Hawaii men’s basketball team went winless on its first Western Athletic Conference road trip of the season with an 86-69 loss to Nevada at the Lawlor Events Center today.

The Rainbow Warriors (9-5, 0-2 WAC) allowed a season high in points as the Wolf Pack hit 10 3-pointers.

UH earned a 16-16 tie in the early minutes, then it was all Wolf Pack. UNR (4-10, 1-0) led 45-29 at halftime and wouldn’t allow the Rainbows within 15 points in the second half.

Sophomore center Vander Joaquim led UH with a career-high 22 points and 12 rebounds, despite three first-half personal fouls.

The Rainbow Warriors lost their 12th straight WAC road game and 14th road game overall going back to the 2008-09 season.
