Pacific at Bradley

Pacific's 102-47 win over Bethesda on Tuesday was the largest margin of victory in program history, built on 63.3% shooting (38-for-60) and 8 blocks. Pacific led 55-25 at halftime. Bradley opened Monday with an 85-41 win over Monmouth College, outrebounding it 45-25 and getting 33 bench points to Monmouth's five. Pacific's margin was 11 points bigger. Bradley owns the longer track record: Brian Wardle is in his 12th season and has won at least 20 games four years running, while Dave Smart's Tigers went 18-15 last season. That record belongs to a Pacific roster that has largely turned over. Only Jaion Pitt and Noah Budu return from last season; 14 new players arrived, and nine of the newcomers have Division I experience. Jaylen Thompson, a Stanford transfer, led the opener with a career-high 21 points on 7-for-10 shooting. The Tigers closed the game with 12 straight points while Bethesda went the last 6:10 without scoring. Pacific is the right side on the spread tonight.
