CSU Northridge Matadors vs Hawai’i Rainbow Warriors prediction
The Hawaii Rainbow Warriors have probably been the better team this season, but there’s not much separation overall. I’m not running to the window to lay decent sized chalk with Hawaii. I’m sorry. Also, Cal State-Northridge and Hawaii have split the two meetings this season. The Cal State-Northridge Matadors are 22-9 ATS on the season, one of the best covering team in all of college basketball. You’re up big if you blindly back Cal State-Northridge. If it’s not broken don’t fix it. Give me the points and the Matadors.
