STOCKTON - Fly out. Win the game. Fly home.
That's the short and simple plan for the Pacific men's basketball team Thursday as it takes on Gotham Classic host UMass at 4 p.m.
There is no sight-seeing in Amherst, Mass., to distract the Tigers from their mission. No city lights, no side trips, not even any fresh powder to make a snowman right now. That's just how coach Damon Stoudamire likes it. While the low temperature is projected to be 25 degrees, there are no anticipated travel delays snow could bring. Pack a nice coat for the 3,000-mile East Coast trip, Stoudamire said he'd tell his players.
