TIGER TIDBITS

• Leonard Perry is the 23rd head coach in Pacific men's basketball history after taking over from Damon Stoudamire on July 7, 2021.
• In his five seasons as a head coach at the University of Idaho, Perry posted a 3-2 record in season-opening contests.
• Perry looks to be the first head coach since Ron Verlin (2013-14) to begin his Tiger coaching era with a win. Verlin defeated Nevada, 80-78 on Nov. 8, 2013 to begin his Pacific coaching career. He would be just the fourth coach in the NCAA Division I era to win his debut.
• Not only are there lots of new faces on the roster but there are also three new assistant coaches who have come to Stockton. One of the holdovers is Justin Hawkins-Young, who in the offseason was promoted to Director of Basketball Operations.
• 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 matchup between the Bears and the Tigers will be the first since a 63-59 victory in the quarterfinals of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament on March 22, 2010.
• Pacific has won its last three season openers.
• 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 pbest current men's college basketball player for every jersey number. 
• Pacific will appear twice on national television as the matchup at pre-season No. 1 Gonzaga on Feb. 10 in the McCarthey Athletic Center was selected as one of the 12 games in the CBS Sports Network package with the West Coast Conference. The other contest is when the Tigers host BYU on Saturday, Jan. 29 in the Alex G. Spanos Center, which will be televised live on ESPNU.
• 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.
