LAS VEGAS – Fifth-year forward Elias Ralph was named to the 2025-26 WCC Preseason All-Conference Team, and the Pacific men's basketball program was predicted to finish 10th in the Preseason Coaches Poll.
 
The announcements were made Thursday at West Coast Conference Media Day at Resorts World. Ralph was one of two student-athletes present to represent the Tigers along with senior TJ Wainwright.
 
Ralph, from Okotoks, Alberta, Canada, was second on the team in scoring last year with 14.8 points per game and was the team's leading rebounder with 7.3 per outing. He submitted 10 double doubles, which ranked top-40 in the nation.
 
Ralph is one of three returners on the roster. Junior Kris Keinys averaged 2.6 points per game but came on strong in the end with 7.8 points per outing over the last four games. Sophomore Noah Budu returns but did not see action last season.
