Cal Poly @ Hawaii

Current Records: Cal Poly 5-19; Hawaii 13-9

What to Know

The Hawaii Warriors are 9-3 against the Cal Poly Mustangs since January of 2016, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Thursday. Hawaii and Cal Poly will face off in a Big West battle at 11:59 p.m. ET at SimpliFI Arena at Stan Sheriff Center. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.

The Warriors have to be aching after a bruising 77-52 loss to the UC Irvine Anteaters on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Cal Poly was just a bucket shy of a victory on Tuesday and fell 61-60 to the Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners.

Hawaii is the favorite in this one, with an expected 11.5-point margin of victory. Those burned by picking them against the spread on Saturday might want to keep in mind that the squad has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.

The losses put Hawaii at 13-9 and the Mustangs at 5-19. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Warriors are stumbling into the contest with the 348th fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only ten on average. Cal Poly has experienced some struggles of their own as they are 132nd worst in college basketball in turnovers per game, with 14.9 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
