Weber State Wildcats Betting Preview

This year Weber State kicked off their season versus an overmatched Northwest Indian College squad. The Wildcats rolled in that one to a 118-35 blowout win. Game two was a different story, as Weber State was drilled 76-48 by Oregon State.

The Wildcats made it consecutive losses in the Nevada game on Wednesday. Weber State was down by 12 points at the break and didn’t get any closer in a 48-30 second half for an 88-58 blowout loss. Blaise Threatt led with 13 points, and Vasilije Vucinic doubled on 11 points and 12 boards.

Hawaii was able to keep their early-season run going against Pacific on Monday. The Warriors overcame a 37-35 first-half deficit with a 41-29 second-half, powering out the win 76-66. Marcus Greene (seven rebounds) and Gytis Nemeiksa (10 rebounds) each scored 18 points.

Hawaii vs Weber State Prediction

I’m going to stay in Hawaii. The Warriors have notched three strong wins so far this year—despite a slow first half versus Pacific in their last outing. In that win, Hawaii shot 48.1 percent from the field with 37 rebounds but also had just 17.6 percent (3-of-17) from outside and 12 turnovers for 15 Tigers points.

As for Weber State, they’ve only managed to score a combined 106 points across their first two games, giving up 164 on the other side in that pair. Granted, the Wildcats took on a couple of tough teams in that time. Still, with the extra travel and a hot Warriors team, I like Hawaii better on the cover.
