DAVIS, Calif. -- TJ Shorts II scored 21 points and UC Davis beat Hawaii 70-59 in its final home game of the season Thursday night.

Michael Thomas and Sheriff Drammeh hit back-to-back 3-pointers to get Hawaii within 11, 40-29 with just under 17 minutes to play, but Shorts hit a pair of free throws, then fed A.J. John for a 3 to push the lead to 16 points.
Shorts was 8-for-8 shooting from the line, dished four assists and made four steals for the Aggies (20-9, 11-4). Siler Schneider added 16 points, Joe Mooney 14 and John contributed 11.
Thomas finished with 13 points and Gibson Johnson contributed 12 for Hawaii (16-12, 7-8).
