Series vs. PACIFIC
Saturday is the 108th meeting between USF and Pacific - though the Tigers have only been conference rivals for 20 years at various times, Pacific is one of USF's most consistent opponents historically. All-time the Dons own a 76-31 record against UOP - in Stockton the Dons are 29-21, at home USF is 41-9 and at a neutral site the Dons own a 6-1 advantage in the series that dates back to the 1911-12 season. In the first ever contest the Tigers defeated the Dons 19-15 in Stockton. Last season the Dons took two of three from the Tigers with each team winning a game at home in the regular season. The Dons blasted the Tigers in the quarterfinals of the WCC Tournament on Mar. 7, winning 72-54.
Â
About the TIGERS
The Tigers are in rebuild year after the loss of all-conference player Jahlil Tripp. Pacific has played just 16 games due to various COVID pauses - on the year they are 8-8 but have lost 3 of their last seven contests include last Thursday night's 58-46 loss at Saint Mary's. In WCC play the Tigers are 5-7. At the Alex G. Spanos Center they are 5-2. As a team, Pacific is averaging 69.0 points per game and shooting 43.2 percent from the field. They are not a good 3-point shooting team, making just 29.7 percent of their attempts from beyond the arc. Their opponents are connecting on over 35.0 percent of their attempts from 3-point range. Sophomore guard Daniss Jenkins is averaging 12.0 points per game to lead UOP, he is one of three players in double figures.
Â
Last Time Out Versus PACIFIC
Pacific's first team all-league player, Jahlil Tripp, jogged into the locker room at halftime with 23 points. Though the Dons had a one-point lead, they seemingly had no answer for Tripp who was scoring at will.
Â
 That changed in the second half. Out of the break, USF went to a zone that confused the Tigers who missed the first five shots from the field after the intermission. During that time, USF – who was steadily scoring all contest, built momentum.
Â
The Dons outscored Pacific 36-19 in the second half en route to a dominating 72-54 win over the fourth seeded Tigers.
