STOCKTON, Calif. – Wrapping up the regular season, the Pacific men's basketball program will host Santa Clara at 5 p.m. Saturday at the Alex G. Spanos Center.
 
Saturday is Senior Day and the Tigers (9-22, 4-13 WCC) will honor Petar Krivokapic who transferred to Pacific after playing the previous four years at FIU. Krivokapic is averaging 7.1 points per outing for the Tigers and is shooting .388 from long range in conference play.
 
The Tigers can move up a spot in the WCC standings and earn a No. 9 seed if they beat Santa Clara (19-11, 11-6 WCC) and if Pepperdine (10-20, 4-13 WCC) losses to Washington State (17-13, 7-10 WCC) at home. Pacific and Pepperdine are currently tied for ninth but the Waves hold the tiebreaker.
 
With 177 assists this year, junior Lamar Washington is one away from tying the school's single-season record of 178 set by Leonard Armato in 1973-74. Washington ranks 13th in the nation in assists and 31st in assists per game with 5.7. He averages 13.3 points per game on the season and 14.8 in conference.
 
On the season, Pacific has been led by the Canadian duo of senior Elias Ralph and junior Elijah Fisher, who average 16.0 and 14.7 points per game, respectively.
 
Ralph has submitted nine double doubles on the year, which ranks 36th nationally. Washington has turned in three double doubles, including two in points/assists and one in points/rebounds.
 
Fisher ranks 13th in the country in free throw attempts with 201 and 18th in free throws made with 148. He's shooting .494 from the field on the year and .525 in conference games.
 
Santa Clara will look to bounce back from a 95-76 defeat to Gonzaga on Wednesday at home. The Broncos rank eighth in the nation in three-pointers made per game with 10.7. SCU won the first meeting this year between the two teams 83-49.
 
Saturday's game will be streamed live on ESPN+ with Zack Bayrouty and Don Gubbins on the call, and can be heard for free on Fox Sports 1280 AM with Dennis Ackerman as the voice.
