Since the WCC tourney is in Las Vegas this year, and my son went to one those schools, Univ of Portlan, my wife and I went to the Orleans,where it was held, went to the pre-game party and tried to get a single game ticket. We were successful, so we were able to see the #3 Portland Pilots vs the #6 Pepperdine Waves. The game was a no contest from the beginning with the Pilots taking an 18-2 lead. It seemed to me that Georgetown, even with their slump, could have taken either team. Portland turned the ball over multiple times in the first half. They have only a couple of really athletic players, a couple of good shooters, but each team struggle with their offense. I guess I was watching the GU-DePaul game, as it ended 69-45. It looks as if Gonzaga will waltz into the NCAAs. St. Mary's may have a chance, as they have their leading scorer, who broke his hand, back for the Portland game. He might not get many minutes though.

Mills is a huge key for St. Mary's. He's really good. Wow, Nevada, saying that Georgetown could beat Pepperdine or Portland is a backhanded compliment if I've ever seen one. Those are two mediocre to bad mid-majors. Have we really fallen that low?

Those are two mediocre to bad mid-majors. Have we really fallen that low? Ha, Ha. I guess you are right. Reading the board as it takes potshots at the Hoyas, that actually seemed like a compliment in my mind, when I first mentioned it. Actually, Portland is usually really bad, so this team is a step up for them. They played not bad defense. Now if you want to talk women soccer or men's cross country, UP will compete with anyone in the nation.
