UC Irvine has quietly taken over first place in the Big West, the only undefeated team. They have great balance, with an imposing frontcourt of 6-8 junior Will Davis II (11 ppg, 7.3 rpg) and 7-6 freshman center Mamadou Ndiaye, the nation's tallest player, while the backcourt leads the team in scoring. UC Irvine is 6-0 in January and the team has held its last six opponents to a field-goal percentage of .332! Hawaii is in town, a long road trip, while playing its 4th road game over the last 5 contests. The Warriors are 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 road games, 2-8 ATS against the Big West conference. The Irvine-Anteaters have won 21 of their last 25 games in the Bren Events Center dating back to February 2012. Irvine won two of the three meetings last season against Hawaii, including 71-60 in the Big West Tournament quarterfinals at the Honda Center last March. The value is with the home team to win the game. Play UC-Irvine on the moneyline.
