The Eastern Washington Eagles and the Hawaii Warriors meet in college basketball action from the Stan Sheriff Center on Sunday.
The Eastern Washington Eagles will try to bounce back from a 74-60 loss to Yale in their last game. Steele Venters led the way with 15 points on 5 of 11 shooting with 3 threes while Ethan Price had 14 points with 3 threes and a team-high 6 rebounds and 3 blocks as well. Casey Jones added 11 points to cap off the scoring in double figures for Eastern Washington in the loss. Angelo Allegri added 6 points with a team-high 3 assists and a pair of steals as well in the defeat.
The Hawaii Warriors will look to build on their 74-52 win over Hawaii last time out. Noel Coleman led the Warriors with 22 points on 7 of 13 shooting with 5 threes while Samula Avea added 20 points on 8 of 14 shooting with a pair of threes. Bernardo da Silva added 10 points with a team-high 11 rebounds for the double-double to round out the scoring in double figures for Hawaii with a double-double while Kamaka Hepa added a team-high 4 assists.
Eastern Washington is 37-15-1 ATS in their last 53 road games and 23-3 ATS in their last 26 road games against a team with a winning home record while the over is 7-1 in their last 8 road games. Hawaii is 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS loss while the under is 6-1 in their last 7 home games.
I get the case to be made for Hawaii being at home here, but the problem is that this is technically a road game for Eastern Washington, and the Eagles have been close to money when it comes to covering on the road. I just think that Hawaii’s home court is a nice edge, but Eastern Washington’s capable of overcoming that and getting a cover and potential win here.
