Portland vs Hawaii Prediction

As I said yesterday, Hawaii is always a tough out at home. The problem is Hawaii will be playing its third game in three days, and while guys are still getting their legs under them, it’s a lot. We’re sure to see tired legs. Portland didn’t beat the UT Arlington team that Hawaii just beat, but it found better offensive success, and there are positives coming out of that game.

Also, Portland is an experienced team with just four freshmen on its roster. This isn’t a Portland team that’s going to be scared of the moment. This is giving Hawaii too much respect, and the fact that it’s playing three games in as many days means I’m forced to grab the points with Portland.
