Home Underdog Status for Rainbow Warriors in Tight Match against UC Riverside in Hawaii
UnFiltered Assistance:
Hey there, sports fan! Let's dive into the matchup between the Hawai`i Rainbow Warriors and UC Riverside Highlanders, scheduled for a basketball showdown on Thursday night in Hono- effing-lulu.
.warning.vibeyellowHawaii's struggled to cover the freakin' spread as they host teams in their own backyard, with only 7 wins against 10 losses when playing as the home team. But UC Riverside is no piece of cake, my friend. They've covered the spread in almost 60% of their away games—that's an impressive stat!
Sports betting sites are right up against each other in terms of the odds for this game, which means taking one team to cover the spread (Hawaii at -110) or the other to win outright isn't an outrageously risky bet.
But here's the thing—.warning.vibeyellow Hawaii needs to win the game to cover the spread at all, while UC Riverside would need to win by at least two points to cover the set spread. That makes taking the Highlanders to win straight up at -115 a fresher bet and a slightly safer pick than trusting the Rainbow Warriors to win by a whisker.
These two teams squared off earlier in the regular season, with Hawai`i winning by seven points. That matchup had UC Riverside favored by 3.5 points, with the Rainbow Warriors turning the odds all around.
Despite the early loss, UC Riverside has been a stubborn opponent for Hawaii's only win as the underdog came against the Highlanders. With home-court advantage on their side, the Rainbow Warriors are a solid bet at legal college basketball sportsbooks to beat the Highlanders for a second time.
