I wish, but I will be watching from eastern Washington and listening to the K-State broadcast.

I have seen Portland play in person. They have quick guards who can play up tempo, and they try to cause turnovers with their pressure. The 6'6" center is not very athletic, but she is an excellent shot blocker. They are not a good rebounding team.

Don't confuse the Portland Pilots with Portland State.....not the same university. The Pilots wear purple too!

They play in the Chiles Center, which is a nice facility, but it only seats about 4850. They usually draw only about 1000 fans for their home games. I doubt if many made the trip to Manhattan. I watched Gonzaga get hot shooting 3's, and they buried the Pilots by 50. Then, the Pilots turned around and beat Gonzaga in the finals of the West Coast Conference. The Zags were not hitting 3's for this game, and they fell victim to the pressure defense by the Pilots.

Cats jump out to a 7 - 0 start, but Lee has one foul.

Good start other than that early foul called on Lee. Has to be careful not to pick up a second and have to sit the rest the half.

The refs are letting the Portland guards do a lot of hacking on their press.
