Pacific vs San Diego Prediction
San Diego hasn’t won two straight games since November, so I’m not banking on a win here. Pacific has been the better team this season and beat San Diego a month ago by two points while shooting 50 percent from the field. These are obviously two bottom feeders in the WCC, so anything can happen. I’ll still lean toward Pacific and the small chalk due to San Diego not being able to string together wins this season. We’re not being asked to lay anything crazy. Give me Pacific to advance in the WCC Tournament.
