Pacific taking on one of the big boys of College Basketball....maybe....

Good afternoon Spot fans...looks like our Pacific Tigers are stiffening their non-conference hoops schedule...the Spot has it on good authority (ok, actually, an article from the Reno Gazette-Journal via our friends at pacifictigershoopstalk.com) that Pacific will be in this year's Pre-Season NIT.  They'll be playing in the UCLA bracket with the good money on Pacific playing Nevada in one game while UCLA plays Pepperdine in the other.  Chances are if Pacific can get past Nevada (and Nevada IS losing their best two players to the NBA and has an almost entirely new roster) that they'll be playing UCLA with the winner getting to go to the NIT Four Four in Madison Square Garden.  Could be an exciting time for Pacific Basketball this November...and not to leave the ladies out...word on the street has it that they'll have some pretty exciting news to officially announce soon also!
