Hawai’i vs Long Beach State Prediction
The Hawai’i Rainbow Warriors are the better team and should be favored at home, where they’re at their best and have seen 11 of their 13 wins come. Long Beach State is falling apart, with losses in nine of its last 10 games. However, Long Beach State beat Hawaii in December as a six-point underdog. Long Beach State does have four road wins on the season and shoots the three ball well enough to hang around even when it probably shouldn’t. I’m just not throwing double-digit points in Hawaii’s direction just because. Give me Long Beach State and the points.
