The victory breaks a tie in the Big West standings between Northridge (13-17, 9-7) and Pacific (16-14, 8-8) and gives the Matadors the No. 3 seed in next week's conference tournament.

Sam Willard led Pacific with 20 points and 15 rebounds, his 18th double-double of the season. Allen Huddleston scored 16 points for the Tigers, who shot 37.5 percent from the field.

The Tigers closed a nine-point Northridge lead to 56-54 on Willard's two free throws with 37 seconds to play, but Huddleston missed 3-point attempts on Pacific's final two possessions.
