Pacific vs Missouri Game Information

Pacific vs Missouri Preview

Pacific (3-3, 0-2 on Road) is an automatic bet-against, especially in November and December before conference play tips off, and at SEC side Missouri (3-1, 3-0 at Home) on Friday night, it’s a prime spot to fade the Tigers, the one’s from California. Pacific has lost 3 straight heading in, by 19 at Arkansas (91-72), by 3 vs Northern Arizona (60-57) in a handicap we nailed for you here, and by 10 at Hawai’i (76-66) after starting the season off with 2 wins (LIF, SJSU). Mizzou heads in here winners of 3 in a row—all at Home in Columbia—evaporating Mississippi Valley State by 72 (111-39), topping Eastern Washington by 7 (84-77), and defeating Howard by 15 (77-62). Missouri lost at Memphis in its season opener.

Pacific May be Better Than Last Year, But Still…

Pacific (2-2-0 ATS, 2-2-0 O/U) was the most profitable school to fade in NCAA College Basketball last year with the Tigers finishing with a deplorable 6-24 ATS (20%) record including 8 straight ATS losses to end their season (6-26 SU, 18.8%). Pacific went 0-16 SU in West Coast Conference (WCC) play and ended the season on a 17-game losing slide. This year, Elias Ralph, Elijah Fisher, Lamar Washington, Jazz Gardner, and Jefferson Koulibaly look to turn things around in Stockton.

Missouri Enjoying No Road Games Until 2025

Missouri (1-3-0 ATS, 3-1- 0 O/U) is nothing but Guards and are led by G Caleb Gill (13.5 ppg), G Tamar Bates (13.5 ppg), G Mark Mitchell (12.5 ppg, 5.3 rpg), and G Anthony Robinson II (10.5 ppg, 3.8 rpg, 3.3 apg) and the Tigers have six other players—all Guards—averaging between 5.5 and 7.0 ppg, so this team can get scoring from a deep bench if needed. Still, this basketball program was stronger when Mizzou played in the Big 12 as compared to the torture chamber that is the SEC—in all sports. The Athletic Director at Missouri needs to get a nice Christmas Bonus because after opening at Memphis, this school plays 12 straight games at Home or at a Neutral Site (Illinois, December 22 at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis).

Pacific vs Missouri Prediction

This Pacific vs Missouri prediction and free NCAAB pick is torn with both teams so poor ATS, but the feeling is that the Tigers from the Midwest will be in good form against a weak Tigers from the West team who lost as a small Favorite to Northern Arizona and has lost 3 consecutive after defeating three pretty bad and smaller teams in Jessup (Division II), San José State (#282 Ken Pomeroy Ratings), and Life Pacific (NAIA). Missouri is unbeaten at Mizzou Arena and does have two blowouts against Howard (by 15) and Mississippi Valley State (by 72), so a 20-point blowout-plus is expected here.

Kevin’s Pick: Missouri -19.5
