Point Spread Pick for Hawaii vs. Cal State Bakersfield
- Hawaii Rainbow Warriors to cover. (4 Units)
The Rainbow Warriors have won four of their last five games, while the Roadrunners have lost eight straight games. Hawaii has the edge here because they’re playing well offensively, scoring more than 80 points per game, while making 47 percent of their shots. They’ve also done a better job at the charity stripe, making over 77 percent of their free throws in their last three games, while the Roadrunners made 70 percent of theirs. They’re the better rebounding team, and they grab more than nine offensive rebounds per game, which will give them more scoring chances. They also don’t turn the ball over much and won’t give up a lot of easy-scoring chances. The Roadrunners aren’t very good offensively, and their defense has also been very bad lately, with the team giving up more than 80 points per game in their last three games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Rainbow Warriors. Take Hawaii to cover the spread.
