5-8 WCC Tournament

Wow... We get to play the Geoducks, on NY Eve??

Haha and I see we are following the Zag lead with the post season tuneup game right before the WCC tourney...

January 9. GU at UP. WCC opener.

Haha and I see we are following the Zag lead with the post season tuneup game right before the WCC tourney....

I am glad to see we are playing a local team, though... no South Carolina Upstate...

Indeed... Well this is Portland, we are clearly going to go with the more "green" opponent...

Hmm... the GU @ UP game is before school starts back up. I know it'll be packed, but I hope the student section has a good showing. I'm not even sure the dorms will be open then...

Is the Seattle U game gonna count as D1 game or are they still a "transitional" school?

Fingers crossed for a win or two at the Anaheim tourney. That could give us some big time exposure. I'm hoping ESPN Australia covers a Pilot game or two at that tourney.

The game is Saturday the 9th, classes start Monday the 11th, so students will be around... especially for that game...

I know I will be! That will be an intense game and hopefully one we have an incredible shot of winning.

I don't think the problem will be getting the students to THAT game, the challenge is to get them to come to all the games AFTER that one...

And no lame homework excuses, either!

Haha and a whole day to recover from the hangover!!! Er, I mean, go to church and get a jump on reading for semester...

On the other hand...opening the WCC with Gonzaga, USD, and St. Mary's?

Nothing like jumping in with both feet...

Fortunately San Diego and St. Mary's doesn't mean quite as much as it did the last couple years....

UCLA is a tough draw at the Classic in Anaheim. We've got our work cut out for us this year. I'm hoping that we can start off about
10-4 going into the game against Army. But, it would be nice if we could squeak out an upset before the new year...maybe against the Butler/ Minnesota opponent.

The 2005-06, the Pilots nipped the Gaels in Moraga and we split the series that year. I expect the game in Moraga to be a good one, especially during Jan Term when the students are all back. I think that for Portland to get to the next level, it's got to win on the road so while I understand that the Gaels are depleted and without General Mills running the point - this game means more to the Pilots than ever to overcome the knock that the Pilots can't win on the road.
