Take Hawaii +2.5 to the bank! Am very biased but truly believe Hawaii will upset Xavier. As I have said all season, this is a really special team and I emphasize the word, TEAM. There are no egomaniacs and everyone plays together. Other factors: 1) Hawaii plays solid "D" 2) Their motion offense can give teams fits and when perking, none can find a better inside game 3) If that fails, they have the shooters that can shoot treys with amazing consistency and accuracy 4) Call them road warriors as they have been on the road since Feb 26th; started in Reno, to Fresno, to Tulsa, and now Dallas; no problem with acclimatization as Dallas is only an hour's+ hop from Tulsa; also, they are very familiar with Dallas as they have played SMU there 5) Hawaii has been underrated all year (no national TV exposure) and will probably be taken lightly 6) Remember the names, Pedrag Savovic and Carl English and the fireman, Mike McIntyre (3 pt shooter) 7) Not worried about Xavier's stud, West; Hawaii's Shimanovich and Martin will neutralize him.
So take my advice and lay it! Hawaii wins! Furthermore, I wouldn't be surprised to see Hawaii beat Oklahoma. Just say you heard it here first. Ah, to dream . . .
Good luck to all as I will be in Vegas this weekend.
Aloha!
