There won’t be any dissertations written on the overall quality of the Pacific Tigers. They’re not Mississippi Valley State levels of bad, but they’re not a great basketball team. Dave Smart is a terrific basketball coach, and given time and resources he’ll get that program rolling soon enough. But they’re not there yet.
But they aren’t that bad.
Pacific led 9-4, Missouri looked a bit lethargic offensively. But they went from -5 to +38 in about 30 minutes of game action, so they figured it out.
A 15-2 run led to an 8 point lead.
