What to Know
Cal Poly is 1-9 against Hawaii since January of 2020 but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Sunday. Both will face off in a Big West battle at SimpliFI Arena at Stan Sheriff Center. The Mustangs know how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 82 points or more in their past five games -- so hopefully the Warriors like a good challenge.
Cal Poly fought the good fight in their overtime match against UC Irvine on Thursday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They opened the new year with a less-than-successful 98-89 loss to the Anteaters. Despite running the score up even higher than they did in their prior game two weeks ago (82), the Mustangs still had to take the loss.
Meanwhile, the point spread may have favored Hawaii last Friday, but the final result did not. They fell just short of UCSB by a score of 64-61. The Warriors have struggled against the Gauchos recently, as the game was their sixth consecutive lost matchup.
Cal Poly's defeat dropped their record down to 6-9. As for Hawaii, their loss ended a three-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 8-5.
Cal Poly is hoping to beat the odds on Sunday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. This contest might not be the best time to bet them against the spread since they've let bettors down the last six times they've played.
