PICK: I’m probably going to take a stab on Pacific. The Tigers have looked pretty good since their season-opening loss to Stanford. In their latest game versus North Dakota, Pacific ended up shooting a scorching 62.3 percent from the field and 45.8 percent from 3-point range. The Tigers were out-rebounded 40-30 but it hardly mattered. CSU Fullerton will likely be a tricky opponent, but if Pacific can keep up with the hot shooting I think they’ll be fine cover-wise.
