Jahlil Tripp, a junior forward from Brooklyn, recently spoke with me after yesterday’s practice in Stockton. Tripp is averaging 10.9 PPG, 5.9 RPG, 2.9 APG, and 1.7 SPG while shooting 51.3% from the field. He leads the Tigers in rebounds, assists, steals, and field goal percentage. Pacific (13-16, 3-11) was off to a good start to the season with a 10-5 record after preseason play but has had trouble with the teams in the West Coast Conference. The only wins they were able to grab came against Portland (twice) and Pepperdine. I talked with Jahlil about this season’s struggle as well as what he has learned from his head coach and 14-year NBA veteran, Damon Stoudamire.
