Hawaii at Cal Irvine

Hawaii has more wins on the season than UC Irvine and is on a 4-2 SU/ATS run. That included a win over this Irvine team as a +7 dog and a 68-60 win at Fullerton as a +5.5 dog. They head to the Big West tournament in Anaheim and Hawaii has won three of its last four games away from the island. Hawaii is second in the Big West in points scored, third in shooting, and tops in rebounding margin behind 6-7 senior Mike Thomas, 6-8 senior Gibson Johnson and 6-9 junior Jack Purchase. They match up well with a UC Irvine squad that finished in the middle of the Big West in shooting, scoring and field goal defense. UC-Irvine is .500 on the season and lost its regular-season finale, 90-84, in double-overtime against UC Davis that spoiled their chance for a league crown. These teams played two close regular season contests, with Hawaii winning on the road, 62-61, as a +7 dog. Play Hawaii on the moneyline.
