STOCKTON, Calif. – The Pacific men's basketball program has officially announced their non-conference schedule for the upcoming 2020-21 season.
Pacific, who posted their first 20-win season last year since 2010-11 under WCC Coach of the Year
Damon Stoudamire, will look to build on their successful and historic 2019-20 campaign.
Just one day before Thanksgiving, the Tigers will kick off the year by hosting UC Riverside on Nov. 25 at the Alex G. Spanos Center in their first matchup of the new season.
As the month of November winds down, UOP will also welcome Fresno State to Stockton on Nov. 27 before making the short trip to Reno to take on Nevada on Nov. 30.
Pacific will return to the Spanos Center on Dec. 2 for a showdown with Montana State, followed by Friday night matchup with Westmont College on Dec. 4. Shortly thereafter, the Tigers will host UC Davis on Dec. 12 before hitting the road for two straight contests- Dec. 16 at Cal State Northridge and Dec. 19 at Cal State Fullerton.
Rounding out the calendar year, UOP will host University of St. Katherine (CA) on Dec. 21 and William Jessup on Dec. 29 before beginning conference play on Jan. 2.

The West Coast Conference plans to celebrate its 13th year in Las Vegas when the 2021 West Coast Conference Basketball Tournaments return to the Orleans Arena from March 4-9.
Fans can expect an announcement regarding the full slate of WCC broadcasts in the coming weeks. Tip-off times are to be determined.
ATTENDANCE AT THE SPANOS CENTER:
In ordinance with guidelines set by the CDC, State of California, San Joaquin County and the NCAA, competition will begin without spectators at Pacific Athletics events until further notice.
Once a return date has been solidified, updated information will become available on pacifictigers.com as it is released. Department staff will also be calling Pacific Athletic Foundation (PAF) members and season ticket holders and are ready to assist with any additional questions or comments.
If you are a Pacific Athletics season ticket holder and have already paid for the upcoming 2020-21 season, three options are available for your choosing:
- Roll your season ticket money into a tax-deductible donation to the Pacific Athletic Foundation (PAF) or directly to the programs in order to support our student-athletes. Learn more about this option here.
- Use the money towards 2021-22 season tickets
- Request a refund of the full or partial amount
Regardless of which option is selected for the upcoming year, Pacific Athletics will honor the seating location for the 2021-22 season that all season ticket holders had requested for the 2019-20 season.
While this news is not ideal for our fans, players, coaches or staff, we advise all to continue to adhere to local and federal guidelines to ensure we can all return to campus as soon as possible.
The Pacific Athletics
