San Diego vs Pacific Prediction

I’ll stay with Pacific. The Tigers are coming off a tough road loss to a middling Portland team this week, shooting 43.9 percent from the field with 32 rebounds and a 36-30 advantage on points in the paint. The Pilots shot 47 percent from the field on the other side and hit 13-of-23 (56.5 percent) from outside. Pacific is still 2-1 in their last three however, and they’ve got 71 or more points in four straight games.

These teams last met up fairly recently, in a December 28 game at Jenny Craig Pavilion. San Diego posted a 66-54 win in that one despite shooting just 36 percent from the field with a 39-27 rebounding deficit. Pacific went just 4-of-22 (18 percent) from 3-point ranged and had a whopping 21 turnovers leading to 25 Toreros points. If the Tigers can clean up their act in the rematch, I think they’ll be okay cover-wise and get some revenge.
