UC Riverside at Pacific Game Notes
Stockton, CA—The UC Riverside Men’s Basketball Team tries to snap a three-game losing streak as they take on the Pacific Tigers Saturday at 7 pm PT at the Alex G. Spanos Center. Fans who are unable to attend may follow all of the action as The Voice of the Highlanders, John Ramey, brings the call from courtside to gohighlanders.com via Stretch Internet's Game Central.
All three of the Highlanders most recent losses have come in Big West play where they now find themselves at 2-4 and in eighth place in the conference. Despite that stretch, UC Riverside is still just one-and-a-half games out of second place as outside of first-place Long Beach State, no other team has been able to pull away from the pack.
Pacific is coming off of a one-point loss to the 49ers which dropped them into a two-way tie for sixth with UC Irvine.
Sam Willard is the Tigers leading offensive threat averaging 15.7 points per game and grabbing a conference-best 11.2 rebounds per game. Demetrece Young also averages double figures at 11.3 points per game while draining 39.2 percent of his three-point field goal attempts.
The Highlanders are just 3-15 lifetime against the Tigers, but have won two of the last three meeting between the clubs including a 62-53 victory at Pacific on February 25, 2010.
