San Francisco at Pacific

The Dons have been impressive to start the season as two of their three losses were against Pac-10 teams on the road including a hard-fought loss at USC by just five points. The Dons have shown the ability to get hot from deep as they are knocking down seven threes a game. Pacific has struggled with the unexpected loss of potential conference player of the year PG Steffan Johnson, who transferred out of the program. They took an additional hit when center Michael Nunnally was suspended for the entire season. To make matters worse they are also without the services of backup PG Michael Kirby, who has also been suspended for the first semester. That leaves the Tigers very vulnerable, and inexperienced PGs are going to make this team struggle as they have early. The Dons have played well and are catching the Tigers at the right time, so I'll back USF here on the road.
