STOCKTON, Calif. (Interstat) — A pivotal West Coast Conference clash with postseason implications is set for Wednesday when the Pacific Tigers host the Loyola Marymount Lions at the A.C. Spanos Center. The Tigers (16-10 overall) enter with the stronger record and will look to protect their home court, where they are 10-3 this season. Pacific is coming off a dominant 92-59 road victory at Pepperdine on Saturday, fueled by 27 points from TJ Wainwright and 17 points and eight assists from point guard Jaden Clayton. Clayton, a player to watch for Pacific, has been a steady facilitator, averaging 6.4 assists over his last seven games. His playmaking will be key against LMU’s pressure. The Lions (13-13) arrive in Stockton riding a two-game winning streak, including an 83-63 home win over San Diego last Saturday. Their surge has been powered by the hot hand of Jalen Shelley, who scored 24 points against San Diego and erupted for 27 points in a win at San Francisco on Feb. 4. Over his last three games, Shelley is averaging 23.7 points. This matchup is a quick rematch of a Dec. 30 meeting in Los Angeles, where Loyola Marymount defeated Pacific 80-71. The Lions will aim for the regular-season sweep. For Pacific, a win is crucial to solidify its standing in the upper tier of the WCC and bolster its resume. The Tigers have shown resilience at home, with notable victories over Oregon State and Seattle this season. Loyola Marymount seeks to reach .500 in conference play and continue its recent momentum. Beyond Shelley, the Lions have received consistent production from Rodney Brown and Jan Vide. The game tips off at 7 p.m. PST on Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2026. Pacific’s next game is at home against Saint Mary’s on Saturday, while Loyola Marymount travels to face Pepperdine.
