The Titans are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS loss & 11-7-1 ATS overall on the season. The Rainbow Warriors are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 Saturday games, however, are just 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

CSU Fullerton has had a solid season to date, however, the Titans have lost 2 of their last 4 games and has struggled on the offensive end as of late, averaging just 62.8 ppg which is about 9 points less than their season average. Hawaii has also struggled as of late, however, the Rainbow Warriors are a solid 7-4 at home to go along with a scoring defense ranked 85^th in College Basketball and as I think Hawaii will be able to pull away in the 2^nd half in this one, I’m taking the Rainbow Warriors to cover this small home spread. Good luck!
