Current Records: Hawaii 7-5; Cal State Bakersfield 6-6

What to Know

The Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners won both of their matches against the Hawaii Warriors last season (60-55 and 83-72) and are aiming for the same result on Thursday. Cal State Bakersfield has the luxury of staying home another game and will welcome Hawaii at 10 p.m. ET Jan. 20 at Icardo Center. These two teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

The Roadrunners didn't have too much trouble with the Cal Poly Mustangs at home on Tuesday as they won 73-60.

Meanwhile, the California-San Diego Tritons typically have all the answers at home, but on Saturday Hawaii proved too difficult a challenge. Hawaii was the clear victor by a 79-56 margin over California-San Diego.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Cal State Bakersfield is expected to win a tight contest. They hadn't treated bettors all too well in the past (they are 3-6-1), but they might be worth taking a chance on now after beating the spread two games in a row.

The Roadrunners are now 6-6 while the Warriors sit at 7-5. Cal State Bakersfield is 2-3 after wins this season, Hawaii 3-3.
