UT Arlington vs Hawaii Prediction

Hawaii is always a tough out on the island, and oddsmakers clearly understand that with this line. Honolulu is not an easy place to play for visitors in that small gym where the crowd is on top of you. However, UT Arlington has some players who can score the basketball, and we’re seeing that out of the gate. UT Arlington just beat Portland as a 2.5-point underdog and is shooting 50 percent from the field through two games.

Hawaii was a bit shaky defensively in its opener against Seattle and actually trailed in that game with 13 seconds left. Hawaii could easily have a loss on the season. Hawaii has failed to cover four of its last seven games as a favorite. I’m going to grab the buckets with UT Arlington, as it feels like the Mavericks are better than expected. Hawaii wins, but UT Arlington puts a scare into the home team late Sunday night.
