I have to be honest, after watching twelve straight hours of college basketball; I had a hard time paying attention to Pacific’s win over Long Beach State in the Big West Championship at midnight last night. It didn’t help that the game was opposite “Call Girl Wives” and “Passion Cove: Cabo Nights” on Cinemax and Cinemax Plus. Three starting seniors though with lots of tournament experience, could be a good upset pick.
