Pacific Tigers Preview

Pacific comes in at 0-1 after losing to Sam Houston State in their home opener, 64-57. The Tigers fell apart late in the game, and they’ll look to bounce back here in Berkeley. Pacific is scoring 64.0 points per game, on 37.5% shooting, while allowing 57.0 ppg.

Pacific Player Notes

Senior guard Donovan Williams led the way with 14 points on 6/13 shooting in the loss to SHSU.

Former South Carolina State guard Lesown Hallums Jr. matched his total on 7/9 shooting in his first game for the Tigers.

California Golden Bears Previews

California enters at 1-0 after defeating St. Thomas (MN) in their season opener, 71-66. The Golden Bears avoided an embarrassing loss with timely buckets down the stretch, and they’ll look to create more separation in this in-state matchup. Cal is scoring 71.0 points per game, on 49% shooting, while allowing 66.0 ppg.

Junior guard Jalen Celestine led the way with 21 points on an efficient 7/10 clip in the win over St. Thomas.

Pacific vs California Trends

PAC is 0-1 against the spread, with a 0-1 over/under record

CAL is 0-1 against the spread, with a 0-1 over/under record.

Corey’s Free Pick

California avoided the upset in their opener, and while I do believe they’ll move to 2-0, the margin movement feels alarming. The spread has gone from six to 11.5, and the Golden Bears struggled to cover double figures during last year’s non-conference slate. Cal could indeed be in better place this season, but instead of the margin, let’s back the Under for this in-state battle.
