NCAA Basketball action resumes today when the Fresno State welcome the Tigers in what should be an entertaining match at the Save Mart Center. If you plan to watch Fresno State vs Pacific live, stream online, or on TV today then first check out our Bulldogs vs Tigers preview below.
Fresno State Bulldogs vs Pacific Tigers
The Bulldogs go into this one with a 44% winning record, and naturally as underdogs against the Pacific Tigers. Fresno State will be sure to keep an eye on the current Pacific streak (Lost 1), and take necessary precautions. The Bulldogs are averaging 66.2 ppg this season (good for number 238 in the NCAA), and better than the Tigers’s 64.6 ppg average in the 2010-2011 NCAA season.
Playing on the road, the Tigers will need to play to their strengths and their 243 3 pointers attempted is their strongest statistical attribute (and good for number 34 in the whole NCAA Division 1). The Pacific are 6-5 this season overall (0-0 in the Big West Conference) and today will hope to improve their 3 – 4 record away from Alex G. Spanos Center.
Fresno State have been dominating their opponents this season in the blocks per game departement. Their 5.3 blocks per game is the number 29 best among the 350 colleges in the NCAA D1, and that will be an area that the Pacific coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen Fresno State’s 3 – 1 home record. After 9 games, the Bulldogs hopeful will be counting for a victory to improve their standing in the Western Athletic Conference.
