Hall of Fame
The 1978-79 Men's Basketball team posted an 18-12 overall record (including 11-3 in the Pacific Coast Athletic Association) for PCAA coach of the year Stan Morrison, earning the PCAA Championship.
Pacific was selected to its fourth NCAA Tournament in school history, earning a No. 6 seed in the West Regional and a first round bye. Led by first team All-PCAA selections Terence Carney and Ron Cornelius, the Tigers fell to No. 3 seeded Marquette in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Three Tigers from that squad, Carney along with Matt McGuire and Scott McLaughlin, earned Academic All-American honors.
