Corrected story to reflect that there were 14 turnovers, not 10. Still just the one turnover for Justin Webster. Thanks for pointing that out, folks.

In reply to One Villa. The turnovers were retroactively changed, apparently. The full box we were given the night of the game had UH with 10 turnovers and Chaminade 14. They're working out a new stat system that's probably going to have some kinks these first handful of games. ... Actually, I take that back. Turnovers were correct in the box we were given. I'd pulled a stat from the wrong place. Turns out the kinks were on MY end.

#6 Check the official box. It counts 14 turnovers. If they didn’t count that turnover you’re talking about then it would still be 14, and if they did count it, (let me see…carry the 1…) that would’ve been TO #15.

Hemsley provided an awesome and much needed spark off the bench. Once his shot develops he’ll be tough. (Or he can do what Cartaino did all night and just take dudes to the hoop. Where’s the UH guy that puts opponents in the rim?)

Exciting for this year. Webster and Da Silva look like they’ll be getting some awesome experience this season. Freshmen that play serious minutes usually see a big jump in development that pays off in year 2.

They had 14 turnovers when you count the ball was stolen from Ng when he tried to dribble the ball out however that to was not recorded in the boxscore.

Loved Hemsley energy and u can see potential with both Webster and da Silva. Not bad considering injuries, absences, etc. Webster shots looked good and was not afraid to put them up. Keep working hard and good things can happen

Hawai‘i had 14 turnovers last night according to the box score on the athletics website. Hawai‘i’s size advantage and depth were too much for Chaminade. Webster and Stansberry weren’t hitting 3s, and had they been, it would have been a much different game. I think we see more game where they hit than they miss. Webster did a great job last night. Would’ve been nice to see Jessiya and Kam stretch their legs against the press last night to test Chaminade against some speed. Biggest concern for the Warriors will be the front court. When they see legit D1 bigs throughout the season, they’re going to be tested for real. Da Silva looks like he’s going to help in the future. He’s a more modern day big. These other guys are back to the basket type players. Ball movement looked good at times last night, and that’s going to get the shooters good looks in the future. Ah…first game…never even count…let’s see where this team is at after Thanksgiving. Still sending prayers to the Buggs Ohana. Drew is a strong man coming back this soon after such a tragedy. More than a leader, that dude is a soldier!

I don’t know if it’s me but I didn’t think UH showed much of their new offensive sets they showed at the Green/White scrimmage.

They were fairly basic and simple in their offense. There were a few plays during the scrimmage that looked pretty nice. I am assuming that coach Gerlufsen was the one who put that in.

Those new plays will give us a few more chance to score easy baskets so I hope the team continue to practice hard and improve.

1. Only 10 turnovers during the game against a team that full-court presses is pretty good. And Webster came in at point guard and only committed 1 turnover, while Buggs had 2. So only 3 total turnovers from your two floor generals against a team that presses a lot is impressive. I know the box score doesn’t show the whole story, but I think to say they were giving us fits might be an exaggeration. I think if anything, the press led to less offensive rhythm and flow, as shown in the lower shooting percentages.

Ganot should have looked at other options during this scrimmage at pg. The Chaminade press was giving UH fits.
