Hawaii vs Texas A&M Corpus-Christi Prediction
If this game was played in Texas, I would take the Islanders, but they had the long trip over the Island, and that is going to have a a negative impact on them. Texas A&M Corpus Christi is averaging 81.7 points per game but in this game they aren’t going to have the biggest offensive game. Hawaii’s offense is going to run up the score and this game will get out of control early. Back Hawaii against the spread.
