Perry has head coaching experience as he was the head coach for five seasons at the University of Idaho.

• Perry will look to become the fifth coach in a row to pick up his first win within his first two games as the Tigers' head coach.

• 37 of the 65 points (56.9%) on Wednesday night came from newcomers to the Pacific program.

• This marks the second trip in three years for Pacific men's basketball to the 50th state. The Tigers traveled to Hawaii in 2019-20 for the Outrigger Resorts Rainbow Classic. Pacific went 1-2 on that trip with a win over Florida A&M, losing to South Dakota and host Hawaii.

• The Tigers return four letterwinners from its 2020-21 squad - 46.8% of its scoring and rebounding. The top returning scorer for Pacific is Jeremiah Bailey, who averaged 11.4 ppg (second on the team) and the top returning rebounder is Jordan Bell, who averaged a team-best 6.9 rpg.

• Jeremiah Bailey, who wears #13, was featured on NCAA.com as they ranked the best current men's college basketball player for every jersey number.

• From the Windy City to Stockton - Assistant Coach Justin Brown along with newcomers Khaleb Wilson-Rouse and Greg Outlaw are originally from Chicago, Illinois. 

• Pacific was selected eighth in the West Coast Conference preseason poll of the league's 10 head coaches. At the top of the preseason poll is Gonzaga, who secured nine of the 10 first place votes. BYU, who received the other vote, was second followed by Saint Mary's. Gonzaga, BYU, Santa Clara and San Francisco each landed two players on the preseason All-WCC Team.
