Tuesday, Dec. 30 - Women's Basketball (6-6, 1-0 WCC) hosts San Diego (6-8, 0-1 WCC), 2 p.m. - The Tigers and Toreros meet on the court for the first time since Pacific eliminated San Diego from last season's WCC Conference Tournament. Pacific has owned the recent series winning six of the past eight meetings, and enters the contest buoyed by the efforts of sophomore Winner Bartholomew and junior Nyah Lowery. The former leads the team in scoring at 13.2 points per game and has scored in double figures in eight straight games while the latter has scored 15+ points in two of the last three.
 
Tuesday, Dec. 30 - Men's Basketball (9-5, 0-1 WCC) at LMU (9-5, 0-1 WCC), 7 p.m. -  Pacific and LMU split the season series last year, each winning on the road. The last meeting was an 83-58 road win for the Tigers, which was the program's largest-ever margin of victory in a WCC road game. Prior to that meeting, the last time the Tigers won a conference road game by at least 25 was Jan. 22, 2011 when it topped UC Davis 87-54 as a member of the Big West.

Friday, Jan. 2 - Women's Basketball (6-6, 1-0 WCC) at Oregon State (9-5, 1-0 WCC), 6 p.m.  - Pacific swept the season series over the eventual WCC champs in two overtime thrillers at the Alex G. Spanos Center. The last time the team trekked up to Corvallis, Pacific nearly knocked off a ranked OSU team behind 31 points from Anaya James. This time the Tigers will roll in with similarly effective guard play, this time from sophomore Daria Nestorov who recently put up a career-high 19 points against Seattle and has averaged 13.6 points per game in December. A Tigers win would be the first on Oregon State's home court in program history.

Friday, Jan. 2 - Men's Basketball (9-5, 0-1 WCC) hosts Oregon State (7-7, 0-1 WCC), 7 p.m. - The Tigers are unbeaten at home where they are 5-0 this year. Pacific is 2-1 all-time at home against Oregon State with the last win being a 72-66 decision on Dec. 17, 1994. It's just the second meeting in the Spanos Center since Oregon State joined the WCC last season.

Sunday, Jan 2. - Women's Basketball (6-6, 1-0 WCC) at Portland (7-6, 1-0 WCC), 2 p.m. - Pacific looks for its first win in the Chiles Center since 2020, which would also put the series history back in Pacific's favor as it is currently tied at 17 wins apiece. In the last contest, junior Marina Radocaj recorded her 47th and 48th career blocks which moved her into 17th on the program's career blocks list. She and senior Sydney Ward both rank in the top-10 in the WCC in blocks per game this season.

Sunday, Jan. 4 - Men's Basketball (9-5, 0-1 WCC) hosts Pepperdine (5-9, 0-1 WCC), 4 p.m. - Pacific is 43-39 all-time against Pepperdine and 22-13 at home. Senior Elias Ralph leads the Tigers with 16.6 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.
