The Hawaii Warriors and the UC-Davis Aggies meet in college basketball action from the University Credit Union Center on Saturday night.
The Hawaii Warriors will try to bounce back after a 64-59 loss to UC-Riverside in their last game. Noel Coleman leads the Warriors in scoring with 14.7 PPG while Bernardo da Silva has 11.5 PPG with 7.1 RPG and Jerome Desrosiers has 11.4 PPG with a team-high 7.7 RPG. Junior Madut has 11.1 PPG to cap off the group of double-digit scorers for the Warriors this season. JoVon McClanahan also has a team-high 3.7 APG as well for the Warriors this season. As a team, Hawaii is averaging 72.1 PPG on 45.6% shooting from the field, 37.2% from three and 74.1% from the foul line while allowing 65.4 PPG on 41.8% shooting from the field and 32.9% from three this season.
The UC-Davis Aggies will try to build on a 65-60 win over UC-Riverside last time out. Ezra Manjon leads the Aggies in scoring and assists with 15.1 PPG and 3.2 APG while Elijah Pepper has 14.9 PPG with 5.3 RPG and Caleb Fuller has 11.6 PPG with 5.1 RPG this season. Christian Anigwe has 10.4 PPG with a team-high 6.5 RPG to lead the Aggies on the glass and to round out the group of double-digit scorers for UC-Davis this season. As a team, UC-Davis is averaging 68.8 PPG on 44.8% shooting from the field, 34.7% from three and 66.8% from the foul line while allowing 66.8 PPG on 41.9% shooting from the field and 36% from three this season.
Hawaii is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 Saturday games while the under is 6-0 in their last 6 games as an underdog. UC-Davis is 0-2-2 ATS in their last 4 home games against a team with a road winning percentage above .600 while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games overall.
I get the case to be made either way here, but we’re getting a free bucket with the team playing better basketball on both ends of the floor in Hawaii. I’m not laying a bucket with UC-Davis just because. The Aggies have been inconsistent in conference play and the same can’t be said for Hawaii who had been on a tear before a hiccup in their last game. I’ll take the Warriors in this one.
