What to Know

Portland has enjoyed a three-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They and the LMU Lions are set to clash at 11:30 p.m. ET on Friday at Orleans Arena in a West Coast postseason contest. Coming in fresh off a win as the underdog, Portland will stroll into this one as the favorite.

Even though Portland has not done well against LMU recently (they were 1-8 in their previous nine matchups), they didn't let the past get in their way on Saturday. The Pilots came out on top against the Lions by a score of 70-60.

Portland got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Juan Sebastian Gorosito out in front who scored 26 points. As a matter of fact, that's the most points Gorosito has scored all season. Another player making a difference was Chris Austin, who scored 16 points along with five rebounds.

The Pilots' victory bumped their record up to 11-20. As for the Lions, they have traveled a rocky road recently having lost eight of their last ten contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 12-18 record this season.

Portland was able to grind out a solid victory over LMU in their previous matchup on Saturday, winning 70-60. The rematch might be a little tougher for Portland since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
