The Long Beach State 49ers will play their final home game Saturday against Big West leaders Hawaii. They already beat the Warriors in Hawaii earlier this season, and this looks like a good spot to back the home team as a short favorite on senior's night.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The 49ers have won eight of their last nine overall, and five straight at home. The 49ers played really tough defense in the last meeting versus Hawaii, holding the Warriors to just 35.2% shooting from the field.

2. Battle on the Boards - The 49ers dominated on the glass in the last meeting, out-rebounding Hawaii 47-28. They also shot the ball well from beyond the arc, going 8-for-20 (40%).

3. X-Factor - 49ers guard Nick Fausts scored a whopping 30 points in a win over Cal State Fullerton on Wednesday. The senior looks to go out on a high note here tonight.

Selection: This is a play on the Long Beach State 49ers (10*)
