Rainbow Warriors Conquer The Beach

Sitting at 2-2 today, thanks to the Georgia Southern Eagles! .. Fly Eagles Fly

But after 4-0 yesterday, I feel the need to finish >.500.

So, of course Warriors will conquer the Beach ... (the Beach, really?)

Hawaii is the much better team on the great island of Oahu, and they have every reason to keep pressing hard for Senior Night.

• Home Dominance: The Rainbow Warriors are coming off a 93–74 dismantling of UC Riverside. They shoot significantly better in Honolulu, and on Senior Night, that energy usually leads to an early double-digit lead.

• LBSU's Defensive Woes: Long Beach State is 9–22 for a reason—their defense is ranked near the bottom of the country (allowing 78 PPG). Hawaii won the first meeting 89–82 on the road; back home, that margin could easily stretch to 15 or 20.

So...

Hawaii Rainbow Warriors -13, -126

Aloha!

Looks like Hawaii bet the + 800$ on Long Beach moneyline.  These bozos just lost to cal poly at home as -700$ a week ago also.  About the 10th team I lost on at home on senior nights.  College basketball is almost unrecognizable now compared to 5-10 years ago.  

Has to be their worse loss of the season bc If I'm not mistaking they could have had the #1 seed in their tourney with a win and it was senior night.  Its almost like they wanted to lose this game.  

@Kaname484

 Games like these really make you wonder about the integrity of the game.  So Long Beach state with zero to play for can’t even make conference tournament .. come out like it’s a final 4 game .. and Hawaii on senior night with a chance for # 1 seed I believe play like they could care less. Make it make sense.  Think I’m getting real close to retiring from NCAA wagering.  Too many shenanigans it seems every day.

 Its crazy- You really cant handicap games at all. Nothing seems to matter.

I only bet on Top 5 Conferences now, and never give more than 9 pts. Will dabble with totals in other Conf. I have better luck that way.

I was on Towson under yesterday, 131. In the last 3:02 of the game, there was 12 intentional fouls committed with Towson up 16 pts. 30 pts scored. Finished 142.All the handicapping in the world, cant explain that. Almost like the coaches, and kids knew the over/under.

We went into week 10 of our high school football season needing an 0-9 team to upset a 9-0 team to be able to share the conference title. We thought we had zero chance. Incredibly and shockingly, the winless team beat the undefeated team, and we shared the conference title. Did this high school team fix their game too?

You guys sound like you never played sports. Shit can happen. Maybe Hawaii was super tight and couldn't handle the pressure. Maybe LB St was just playing loose and free since being knocked out of the tournament. Someone did state it was senior night. It is Hawaii. Maybe the players and families partied all weekend. So many reasons besides a make-believe fix.

I’ll watch the madness but as far wagering your right-to much crap going on! Wager mlb/mls/nhl instead-no reason for Hawaii to lose last night but they did horrible loss 

@River_fish

 People has bad perception. Yes, games have been fixed amf points have been shaved in the past. Its still a game that needs to be played and players need to execute to win and have positive results. Anything can happen sometimes in sports and those who never played can never understand.

Well said Fish.

When Hawaii took a 3 pt lead in the 2nd half I thought I had half a chance to win or at least see a close finish to cover.

Hawaii was then putrid in the final 10 minutes - nerves maybe, that Fr guard for LB just lit them up.

I lean towards the "that's sports" explanation.  For example, I'm watching live USA v GBR baseball last night.  In one inning the GBR pitcher struck out Judge, Harper and Gunnar Henderson.  That's the current AL MVP, a former NL MVP and another very good hitter.  What were the odds of that happening???
