Unfortunately for Cal Poly, Hannah Gilbert scored more than half of her team's points in a 71-50 loss.

Gilbert was excellent in what turned out to be her final collegiate game, showcasing some nice post moves to score 26 points on 12-of-23 shooting (she also blocked three shots in 37 minutes), but her teammates were just 9-for-42 (21%).

The bigger story turned out to be the work of Olivia Crawford. The sophomore guard hit five threes on her way to 21 points - she averaged just 7.5 points coming in - and really had the Rainbows in control from the start. Briana Harris added 18 points as Hawaii never trailed & rolled into the quarterfinals by hitting 54% from the field in the second half.

Scoochie Smith all star and Cal Poly redshirt-freshman Breezi Holt didn't score in three minutes of action.

A lower seed - Syracuse - winning 70-51 and a Steve Smith "basketball" count. What a way to start the day.

First half: said eight times

Game 56 - Auburn vs. Hawaii

December 25 at Stan Sheriff Center in Honolulu, HI
ESPN

Auburn led by nine after Kareem Canty's 3-pointer about midway through the second half, but great work by Hawaii over the final nine minutes.

Sai Tummala followed almost immediately with a four-point play at the 9:15 mark, which seemed to get the Rainbows going as they closed the game on a 28-7 run and won 79-67 in the third-place game of the Diamond Head Classic.

* Roderick Bobbitt had a fantastic night for Hawaii, finishing with a game-high 30 points (22 in second half) on 8-of-13 shooting & 6-of-7 from three.

* Congratulations to new Scoochie Smith all star and freshman guard for Hawaii, Sheriff Drammeh.
