Game Overview
Stony Brook Seawolves face Pacific Tigers in a neutral-site matchup as part of the GEICO Sunshine Slam tournament. Both teams are coming off mixed results, with Stony Brook showing strong recent form and Pacific struggling defensively.

Key Factors to Consider
- Stony Brook averages 76.7 points per game with a +4.7 scoring margin, while Pacific averages 72.5 points per game with a -2.3 margin. Stony Brook is more efficient offensively (54.9% effective FG%) and commits fewer turnovers (12.8% vs. 18.5%). Pacific has a rebounding edge (38.0 vs. 32.3) and blocks more shots (2.3 vs. 3.7), but allows more points (74.8 vs. 72.0) and fouls more frequently (21.8 vs. 18.0). Pacific has scored over 130 points in 77% of their last 9 games, but their recent loss to Florida Atlantic (59-82) suggests vulnerability against strong opponents.
- This is the first-ever meeting between Stony Brook and Pacific. No prior head-to-head data exists.
- No injuries reported for either team as of the latest updates.
- The game is being played at a neutral site (Daytona Beach, Florida), which historically favors teams with better road/neutral performance. Pacific has a 1-2 away record this season and has lost 9 of their last 10 day games. Stony Brook has won 4 of their last 5 games and has won the first half in 4 of their last 5 games. Pacific has won 3 of their last 4 day games against non-conference opponents at neutral venues.
