The Tigers are ranked 305th in the NCAA NET Rankings and have a power ranking of 334. They are 295th in offense and 217th in defense, averaging 70.50 points per game while allowing 72.31 points per game. Pacific is 5-11 overall and 6-8 against the spread.

San Francisco Expected to Dominate Pacific Tigers in Basketball Showdown

The Pacific Tigers have three players who consistently score in double figures, however, the overall performance of the team has been lacking this season. Due to their lack of depth, Pacific is not expected to be competitive against San Francisco, with odds favoring the Dons to cover a 14.5-point spread. San Francisco recently allowed 94 points to Santa Clara, a team known for its strong offensive capabilities. In contrast, the Dons boast a solid defensive record which is likely to pose a significant challenge for Pacific. The Tigers struggle in both 3-point shooting, with a rate of 27.3%, and 2-point shooting, with a rate of 49.1%. On the other hand, San Francisco's defense excels in limiting opponents' 2-point and 3-point shooting percentages. Overall, the matchup appears to heavily favor San Francisco over Pacific.
