HONOLULU (AP) — Zigmars Raimo scored 13 of his career-high 17 points in the second half to lead the University of Hawaii men’s basketball team to a 74-63 victory over Long Beach State on Thursday night at the Stan Sheriff Center.

Gibson Johnson added 13 points for the Rainbow Warriors (16-10, 7-6 Big West). Raimo was 6-of-7 from the field, 5-of-6 from the line.

Hawaii shot 53 percent and Long Beach 30 in the first half, which ended with the Rainbow Warriors leading 34-25.

Barry Ogalue scored five points in 21 seconds, pulling the 49ers within four but Raimo had 10 points in a 15-2 run to push the lead back to 15 with 7:19 to play. LBSU never got closer than eight the rest of the way. Hawaii was 12-of-14 from the foul line in the second half.

Gabe Levin scored 18 for Long Beach (13-16, 7-6).

UH hosts UC Irvine on Saturday in its last home game of the season.
