Pacific vs Florida Atlantic Prediction
I’ll lean toward Pacific. The Tigers had a pretty nice game in their latest road win over Cal State Fullerton, but there are still a few things to clean up. Pacific shot 56.1 percent from the field and 14-of-17 (82.4 percent) from the line with a 45-29 rebounding edge. The Tigers were pretty sloppy with ball control though, resulting in 18 turnovers during the 12-point victory. Pacific has a nice 69 or more points in all four games this year, with 77 or more points in three of those. They’re giving up a lot of scoring to capable teams on the other side, though.
