Cal Poly @ Hawaii

Current Records: Cal Poly 5-19; Hawaii 13-9

What to Know

The Hawaii Warriors are 9-3 against the Cal Poly Mustangs since January of 2016, and they’ll have a chance to extend that success on Friday. The Warriors and Cal Poly will face off in a Big West battle at SimpliFI Arena at Stan Sheriff Center. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.

Hawaii has to be hurting after a devastating 77-52 defeat at the hands of the UC Irvine Anteaters on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the Mustangs were just a bucket shy of a win on Tuesday and fell 61-60 to the Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners.

The losses put Hawaii at 13-9 and Cal Poly at 5-19. A couple stats to keep an eye on: Hawaii is 348th worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only ten on average. Cal Poly has experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the game with the 132nd most turnovers per game in college basketball, having accrued 14.9 on average. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
