Thursday night, February 21st brings you Big West college basketball as the Hawaii Warriors travel to southern California to take on the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos, live from the UCSB Events Center.
The Gauchos have won the past two meetings between these schools, including a 75-54 win in Hawaii earlier this month. UCSB trails the Warriors by one game in the conference standings, so we will see if they can make it three in a row over Hawaii.
Hawaii Warriors
Hawaii come into this game winners of three out of their last five games, after their 87-64 win over UC Riverside on Saturday. The win was their second straight, as they now trail conference leaders UC Irvine by three games in the standings.
The Warriors are averaging 72.56 points per game this year, and have scored well above that in their past four wins. Hawaii will have to come out firing if they want to stop this Gauchos team that is 10-2 on their home court.

In their win over UC Riverside, the Warriors shot nearly 60% from the floor, and an even better 56.5% from three point land. They went 8-10 at the free throw line. Excellent shooting that will need to be repeated on Thursday night.
Senior F Jack Purchase led all scorers in that game with 23 points and a team high 9 rebounds. Senior G Brocke Stepteau and Junior G Eddie Stansberry were the only other Warriors players in double digits in scoring with 17 and 15 respectfully.
UC Santa Barbara Gauchos
UCSB have won only two of their last five games, and are currently on a three game losing streak after their 83-70 loss to UC Irvine last Saturday.
The Gauchos have been averaging 73.12 points per game, but have only exceeded that average once over their last five, when they put up 75 on Hawaii earlier in the month. They have failed to score more than 70 points in their last four games.

Free Hawaii Rainbows vs. UC Santa Barbara Gauchos NCAAB Prediction:
If Hawaii can shoot lights out again like they did in their last game, then this is a no brainer. It will be over by halftime. But that is a big if in college basketball.
The Gauchos have been struggling lately, and are really struggling trying to score the basketball ever since they beat Hawaii earlier in the month. If they can get above the 75 point plateau, then this game is theirs.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Hawaii +3.5
Take Hawaii to win this game on the road. They are just the better shooting squad, and you can’t bet against a team that shoots as well as they do.
