8. Pacific
Last week: 9 (Up 1)
Record: 15-14 (6-12)
RPI: 128
KenPom: 154
Place in Conf. Standings: 8
This past week: L vs. Gonzaga 70-53. W vs. Portland 68-65.
The Pacific Tigers split their games this past week against Portland and Gonzaga to close out the regular season.
The Tigers fell victim to the wrath of the Zags, who were determined to lock up sole possession of the WCC regular season title after failing to do so last week. However, Pacific was able to play spoiler against Portland on Saturday by defeating the Pilots and knocking them down to the seven seed – which means they will start play in the WCC tournament on Thursday rather than Saturday.
Pacific will take on Santa Clara (nine seed) on Thursday night to open up the WCC tournament for itself.
