Pacific Tigers Seek Bounce-Back Performance

The Pacific Tigers enter the tournament round with a 17-14 overall record and an 8-10 WCC record. Pacific received a bye into this round of the tournament. Over their last five games, the Tigers have recently lost to San Francisco, Gonzaga, Washington State, and Saint Mary’s, while recently winning over Loyola Marymount.

Pacific’s offense averages approximately mid-70s scoring output, while their defense has faced challenges against top conference opponents. The Tigers rely heavily on Elias Ralph, who averages 16.5 points and 6.8 rebounds per game, while Jaden Clayton leads the team in playmaking with 6.3 assists per contest. Pacific also rebounds effectively and attempts to control tempo through their frontcourt presence.

In their most recent game against San Francisco, Elias Ralph led the Tigers with 19 points and 10 rebounds, recording a double-double despite the loss. Ralph’s presence on the glass kept Pacific competitive, while Jaden Clayton contributed 10 assists, showing his ability to facilitate the offense. However, Pacific struggled offensively overall, shooting 40% from the field and just 2-of-17 from three-point range, which ultimately limited their scoring potential.

Seattle vs Pacific Pick

Seattle vs Pacific Spread Pick

Pick: Seattle Redhawks - Moneyline

Seattle enters this matchup with momentum after a tournament victory and has shown strong defensive discipline throughout the season. The Redhawks’ ability to generate blocks and steals gives them an edge in slowing down Pacific’s offense. While Pacific has the advantage of rest, Seattle’s defensive intensity and balanced scoring should allow them to control the pace and limit second-chance opportunities for the Tigers.

Seattle vs Pacific Total Pick

Pick: Under

I like the under in this matchup because both teams have shown offensive inconsistency recently. Seattle struggled from three-point range in their last game, and Pacific has also had shooting issues, particularly from beyond the arc. With both teams likely focusing on half-court offense and defensive execution in a tournament setting, I expect this game to stay lower scoring.

Final Score Prediction: Seattle 68, Pacific 64
