A put-back basket by Petras Balocka as time expired enabled the University of Hawaii basketball team to end several droughts.
The 54-53 victory over Louisiana Tech ended a five-game losing streak and a nine-game road skid, as well as a combined 18 games in which the men's and women's teams, as well as the men's volleyball squad, had failed to register a win.
Roderick Flemings led the Bows with 17 points, including three treys, as UH improved its marks to 10-10 overall and 2-6 in the WAC.
Hawaii continues its road trip tomorrow at New Mexico State. The game will be aired on FoxNews 900.

The Rainbow Wahine will seek end their seven-game losing streak tonight at Utah State and play against at Idaho on Sunday. The women are a dismal 3-16 overall and 0-6 in the WAC.
Facing an equally daunting task is men's volleyball team. Off to a 1-6 start, Hawaii will play host to nationally second-ranked Cal State Northridge tonight and tomorrow at the Stan Sheriff Center.
