San Jose St. 55, Hawaii 54

HONOLULU (AP) Keith West scored on a driving layup with two seconds left Saturday night to give San Jose State to a 55-54 victory over Hawaii.

The Rainbow Warriors (13-8, 6-7 Western Athletic Conference) had a chance to win it with one tick left, but Mark Campbell's shot rimmed out. His rebound and follow went in, but officials ruled it came after the final buzzer.

It was the second time this season the Spartans (6-15, 3-9) upset Hawaii and, this time, it broke the Rainbow Warriors' 24 consecutive home court winning streak.

In the frantic final seconds, Scott Sonnenburg, hit a pair of 3-pointers his only points of the game to give San Jose State leads of 50-47 and 53-52. But Campbell countered with three-point play and a pair of free throws with 11:6 left go to put Hawaii ahead 54-53.

West took the ensuing inbound pass and drove in for the game-winner.

The game was close throughout with neither team able to build more than a seven-point lead. There were 14 lead changes and as many ties.

Keith Everage led San Jose State with 12 points with Brandon Hawkins adding 11. The smaller Spartans dominated the boards, 31-22, including 15 off the offensive boards.

Phil Martin was Hawaii's top scorer with 17 points before fouling out. Carl English, the WAC's leading scorer (20.6), finished with nine points on 3-for-15 shooting, missing all seven of his 3-pointers. In the first meeting between the two teams, English was held to a season-low six points.
