Nevada (-1) over HAWAII by 10
Lots of respect for Hawaii's home court mark of 57-8 SU L4Y and 33-12 ATS mark as single digit home dog. But the Wolfpack more than offsets that with their record of 7-0 SU ATS away vs. con. with wins and ****** in their last 8 games. Fundamentally, the Wolfpack will control matters inside all night. With the "Reno Skyline" of Fazekas, Pinkney and Bell overpowering the Rainbow's only inside threat, Sensley, who continues to battle knee problems. Wolfpack don't rely on the 3, taking only 10 per game but shoot over 50% from inside the arc. Hawaii had stayed competitive in many of their games yet enter here on a 4 game losing streak (including back to back home losses) and have allowed over 80 ppg in that span. Their bubble continues to burst tonight against Nevada in a battle of two teams going in opposite directions.

Cal Fullerton (+) over Pacific
Pacific is cruising along with a terrific 23-2 mark. They are an amazing 11-1 away from home and a perfect 16-0 in conference. But tonight they are in for their toughest test of the season as they travel to take on the Titans.
Cal State Fullerton are a solid 17-8 on the year, 9-1 at home winning by 12.2 points per game. They have won 9 of their last 10 games. In the earlier meeting at Pacific they lost by only a 94-88 count despite allowing a whopping 66% shooting from the field. With Pacific already assuring themselves of a tournament bid this game is more important to the host.
