HONOLULU — Steven Cook scored 21 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead Princeton over Hawaii 75-62 in the Pearl Harbor Invitational on Wednesday night.

Cook was 7 of 14 from the field and made five 3-pointers. Spencer Weisz added 17 points on 6-of-7 shooting for Princeton (3-4), which shot 26 of 56 from the floor for 46 percent, and made 13 of 15 free throws. Henry Caruso had 12 points for the Tigers.

Gibson Johnson scored a career-high 19 points for Hawaii (4-5), which has lost three of its last four games. Noah Allen made three 3-point shots and also finished with 19 points.

Hawaii used a 15-4 spurt to cut into a 20-point halftime deficit and pull to 47-38 with about 15 minutes left, but they didn’t get closer.

It was the first meeting between the schools.

Seton Hall 60, California 57

HONOLULU — Angel Delgado scored 16 points and grabbed 12 rebounds and Seton Hall edged California 60-57 in the Pearl Harbor Invitational on Wednesday night.

Delgado, a 6-foot-10, 240-pound forward, made 6 of 9 shots from the field in a game-high 36 minutes played.

Desi Rodriguez scored 15 points and Khadeen Carrington had 14 points with four assists for the Pirates (7-2).

Carrington tied it at 45 with just under 12 minutes to play on a 3-pointer from the right wing, which ignited a 7-0 Seton Hall run. California never regained the lead.

Ivan Rabb’s putback pulled the Golden Bears (7-2) within 58-57 with 31.1 seconds remaining, but Carrington and Delgado each hit a free throw to extend the Pirates’ lead to 60-57 with 2.7 seconds left.

Jabari Bird had a chance to sent it into overtime, but his 3-pointer from about 25 feet as time expired was no good.
