STOCKTON, Calif. – The Pacific Tigers men's basketball team plays the first of three games in three days on Friday night at the Alex G. Spanos Center. Pacific welcomes the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions for a 6 p.m. PT tip-off as part of the Men Against Breast Cancer Showcase. The Tigers will host the Texas State Bobcats on Saturday night at 6 p.m. PT and the Canisius Golden Griffins on Sunday for a 3 p.m. PT matinee. Pacific visited Air Force on Tuesday night to open the showcase and came away with an 83-71 victory, their first of the season.

Friday marks Pacific's second-ever contest against a Southwest Athletic Conference opponent. The only other meeting between the Tigers and a team from the SWAC came on Dec. 8, 1990, a 106-71 victory over Prairie View A&M on a neutral court. Pacific has faced Texas State and Canisius previously, and both meetings most recently occurred at the same tournament; 2003 Great Alaska Shootout in Anchorage, Alaska. The Tigers defeated Texas State 62-55 in their only meeting with the Bobcats on Nov. 29, 2003, and they've lost both prior meetings with Canisius, the most recent meeting by a final of 62-59 on Nov. 28, 2003.

Through the first four games, Pacific is being led by Roberto Gallinat, who's averaging 14.8 points-per game, including a 21-point performance at Air Force in which he went 7-for-9 from the floor. Jahlil Tripp is the Tigers' leading rebounder, averaging 9.8 boards per contest.

Arkansas-Pine Bluff enters Friday's contest still looking for their first win of the season after an 0-6 start. They most recently dropped a 71-54 decision to Texas State at the Spanos Center on Wednesday night. Texas State, after its win versus Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Wednesday night, is 2-2 following an 0-2 start to the season. Canisius, following a 60-52 loss at Tennessee State on Tuesday, is 1-3 entering Friday's action.

All games involving Pacific will be televised on TheW.tv, with Zack Bayrouty (play-by-play) and Bob Thomason (analyst) calling the action. Friday and Saturday's contests will also be simulcast on the radio at 1280 AM KWSX in Stockton and via the iHeart Radio app. Sunday's 3 p.m. matinee versus Canisius will be broadcast exclusively on TheW.tv and not available on radio due to contractual obligations with the NFL.
