NEW TIGERS
Pacific returns just five players from last season, including junior center Amari McCray, who missed last season due to a knee injury. Joining McCray from last season is senior Jahlil Tripp, junior Jeremiah Bailey, sophomore Jahbril Price-Noel, and sophomore Jade Brahmbhatt.
The Tigers welcome four, four-year, transfers — Austin Vereen (Graduate, Virginia Military Institute), Gary Chivichyan (Graduate, Idaho State), Justin Moore (Junior, Georgia Tech), and Shaquillo Fritz (Graduate, Arkansas State).
The 2019-20 squad is rounded out by Casper College transfers — junior Broc Finstuen and James Hampshire — and freshmen Pierre Crockrell II, Daniss Jenkins, and Takori Rooks.

- Pacific is 6-0 all-time against the Division II program.
- Tuesday's clash will serve as an exhibition for the Warriors, marking Stanislaus State's second and final exhibition of the season. The first was last week when the Warriors traveled to Los Angeles to face UCLA (L, 57-87).
LAST SEASON
The Tigers registered a 14-18 overall record with a 4-12 record in West Coast Conference play.
