Sanni from 3
Pacific true freshman was stellar in his last outing for the Tigers, going 12-for-22 from the field, which included seven made shots from three-point range, en route to scoring 32 points. That total is the highest by any Pacific player since fellow Tiger Gallinat scored 41 last season against fellow WCC squad San Francisco. The total also marked the program's first seven three-pointer performance since former standout Alec Kobre sank seven at Green Bay on Dec. 15, 2015.

Saturday marks the Tigers fourth game against a Mountain West Conference opponent this season, including at nationally-ranked Nevada. Pacific is scheduled to wrap up its Mountain West tour on Dec. 22 at Boise State.
