Northern Arizona looks to bounce back against Pacific in upcoming matchup

Both teams are entering this matchup following their first loss of the season. Last season, Northern Arizona suffered a 20-point defeat at the hands of Pacific on their home court. Pacific is the only team of the two that has faced a Division 1 team before their recent games, securing a victory. Pacific boasts a roster filled with new players, while Northern Arizona has a core group of seasoned veterans. Despite losing by a larger margin in their last game, Northern Arizona displayed stronger shooting than Pacific, although they were up against a team from a major conference. With their experienced leadership and determination, Northern Arizona is poised to not only cover the spread but also secure the victory in this matchup. I recommend taking Northern Arizona for this game.
