Portland loses at Chiles tonight to D-2 Western Oregon. Nik Raivio had decent numbers. Portland may be the weakest WCC MBB team since Bollwinkel's last team at SMC. Sorry PilotNut.

You have to love the Gonzaga fan. Not satisfied to be affronted merely by common hosings at the hands of ragtag referees, he plows all avenues of discontent. - John Blanchette

Not pretty.
Ouch is right. We looked downright terrible tonight. Thats all there is to say; it looked nothing like a Reveno-disciplined team.
I dont think your comment of the Worst WCC team is fair yet--we are just very young/inexperienced now.
This was the first game for a UP team that only has one senior and 2 juniors, none of which contribute much. Only 5 guys on the bench have played D-1 hoops before; the rest are freshman and transfers/red shirts.
We arent this bad (gawd i hope not, anyway). We play Concordia on Saturday night; let's re-consider after that game. That, or I am going to need A LOT of post-game beers...Go Pilots!Comment

How did Raivio look?_______________________________

I was one of the 895 (if there were 895) in the Chiles Center.
The Pilots are a very young, inexperienced group. There is one senior and one junior. Raveno appeared to be looking to find his starting five. No one really stood out. Nik Raivio is no Derek, but he did show some spark in the second half. Luke Sikma shows some promise, but was very uneven. From what I saw tonight, I will be surprised if they win one WCC game.
I wasn't aware until I looked at the schedule that they will play the Huskies in Seattle on December 15, 2007. That should help the Huskies beef up their national exposure and enhance their RPI.

Nik looked pretty good, relatively speaking. He is quick, strong, and we will REALLY need him to step up this year. He has a lot of potential, and he looks like he should be Derek's *older* brother--taller & bigger, and not the baby face.
But there is a ton of resemblance.
To be honest, I cant really say much after tonight, as you can tell. Ask me again in a couple weeks, and hopefully the jitters are worked out.Go Pilots!Comment

Geemineez, welcome Coach Grier ... Well, it was Halloween. I imagine a lot of folks needed to be with their kids and/or dealing with trick or treaters. At least Grier didn't get embarrassed by play on the court ...Originally posted by sittingon50 View Post
We'll have our fingers crossed for both teams._______________________________
