Long Beach State took over first place in the Big West Conference with an upset home win against Cal State-Fullerton two days ago. Obviously a monster win for the Beach.

Now, however, Long Beach State has to travel to Hawaii just 48 hours later to play the Rainbow Warriors. Hawaii beat Long Beach, 72-67, as a 2-point road 'dog on Jan. 8.

Hawaii last played five days ago. The Rainbow Warriors are rested and catch Long Beach State in a huge letdown spot with a fatigue factor, too.
