Quick turn-around: UP @ Pepp, Saturday, 2pm

Pepperdine played GU fairly well last night, after spotting them a 17 point lead to start the game.

Tip-off is 2pm, but the game does not appear to be on TV anywhere, so I dont quite understand the early tip...? You can get livestats and purchase the Pepp video here: LINK.

GO PILOTS! BREAK THE WAVES!

The UP site says there is a free live simulcast at portlandpilots.com. I'm working on hooking my PC up to my TV. Wish this game was in the evening; hard to justify another Saturday sitting on my butt.

up7587... almost 100% sure that live simulcast is referring to audio, not video. If you want to watch it, you'll have to buy it from the Pepperdine site.

I feel a lot more confident about today's game after watching us on Thursday. We finally beat a team on the road by a comfortable margin. Pepperdine has two solid players in Mychel Thompson and Keion Bell and some promising freshman, but Portland has way more experience and a lot more depth, not to mention a significant size advantage. To get the win, we'll need to use our size and really pound them on the boards like we did LMU. And let's hope we can get out and defend the three-point line a bit better... the Waves have some decent outside shooters, which can make them dangerous.

Anyway... I'm pumped. 4-1 is at our fingertips. Let's hope the guys buckle down and make it happen. I think they will.

Once again, my signature rings true.

Interesting. The livestats on the Pepp site are ahead of the radio broadcast....

Off topic, but watching the livestats and whatnot for other conference members, I gotta say our websites is DEFINITELY one of the better as far as aesthetics, functionality, and ease of layout...

New drinking game: one drink every time Tom Kolker says "and we go the other way." Careful, could be dangerous to your health.

I had this strange dream we were tied for 3rd in the conference...

Better pinch yourself!

73 to 58! 4-1 in conference. This completes one of the steps outlined for a successful season: win two road games against the bottom of the conference. Now we need to defend home court next week against USD, and see if we can get one from the top two, SMU or GU. Go Pilots!

4-1 in WCC play. I love it. Final score 73-58.

This sets up a HUGE game Thursday vs. USD at Chiles. HUGE!

According to the Trib, the Pilots have NEVER started 5-1 in conference. Time to put that stat to bed!

Maybe because ours doesn't use the CSTV template. The Pilots do have a great site.

I would check the archives for the Pilots' best conference start, but...

4-1 is our best start, and the 3rd time it has happened, per the radio broadcast... I assume that info was fed to Tom by Jason Brough, the SID and color guy. Who, by the way, both do a great job on the air...

I couldn't have said it better.

Nice win, BTW. But we have to play three tough teams next and beat at least one if we want any sort of post season. Our RPI actually went DOWN with the two wins this weekend.
