Men's Basketball Falls To Pacific In Big West Conference Opener
1/2/2008 12:00:00 PM | Men's Basketball
Stockton, CA—The Highlanders lost to the University of Pacific Tigers (9-4, 1-0) 82-54 in their conference opener Wednesday night in Stockton, CA. Senior Larry Cunningham finished with a team-high 14 points in the losing effort for UCR (3-9, 0-1).
A tough night of shooting by the Highlanders who finished 18-of-54 (33.3%) and the hot-shooting by the Tigers led to UCR's third straight defeat. Pacific shot 29- of-48 (60.4%) on the night including 13-for-29 (44.8%) from behind the arc which proved to be too much for the young Riverside squad to overcome.
UCR did make their free-throws, finishing 13-15 (86.7%) and also took care of the ball, committing only 10 turnovers. But again the scoring was not there as Cunningham and freshman Jalonni Diggs were the only Highlanders to finish with double-digits in points as Diggs knocked down three shots from long distance. Pacific couldn't miss, finishing with four players with double-figures in points, led by a game-high 21 by Chad Troyer who finished with six three's.
The Highlanders continue on the road and travel over to face UC Davis in Davis, CA on Friday at 7:00 p.m.
