Big West Game of the Year CBB
(NCAAB) Tritons (UCSD) vs. Warriors (HAW),
Point Spread: -7.50 | -118.00 Tritons (UCSD) (Away)
Result: Win
Point Spread: -7.50 | -118.00 Tritons (UCSD) (Away)
Result: Win
T.M. Selection: UC San Diego.
I believe UC San Diego will not only win this game easily, but do so in blowout fashion. The key reason that the Tritons are near the top of the Big West standings and the Rainbow Warriors are languishing in the middle of the standings is for one key reason which is in play here. UC San Diego has dominated the teams they are supposed to beat while Hawaii has truly struggled when facing upper level competition. So there is truly a talent divide between these teams and I see the Tritons winning big again, even on the road, as the struggles of the Rainbow Warriors continue when they face an upper tier opponent. UC San Diego is on a 15-2 run and 6 straight wins have come by a margin of 14 or more points. 11 of last 13 Tritons wins have been by at least 8 points and I see them covering the 7.5 here on the road. Hawaii has lost B2B games and 3 of 4 and is just 7-7 since a 5-1 start to the season. The 8 losses by an average margin of 11 points and all signs do point to a double digit loss here as the Tritons seek revenge for a loss here in OT in the most recent meeting last season. Look for UC San Diego to keep the foot on the gas from start to finish and lay the points.
T.M. Prediction: 76-60 UC San Diego
