Who's Playing

San Diego @ Portland

Regular Season Records: San Diego 15-15; Portland 17-13

What to Know

The Portland Pilots and the San Diego Toreros are set to clash at 11 p.m. ET March 4 at Orleans Arena in the second round of the West Coast Conference Tourney. Portland is expected to win -- but not by much -- so they will need to come into the contest prepared for a fight.

The game between the Pilots and the Santa Clara Broncos on Saturday was not particularly close, with Portland falling 102-89. Portland's defeat came about despite a quality game from forward Moses Wood, who had 23 points along with seven rebounds.

Meanwhile, the Toreros earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing on Thursday. They were able to grind out a solid win over the Pepperdine Waves, winning 74-67. San Diego's success was spearheaded by the efforts of guard Joey Calcaterra, who had 20 points, and guard Marcellus Earlington, who dropped a double-double on 13 points and 13 boards in addition to five assists. Calcaterra had some trouble finding his footing against the San Francisco Dons on Saturday, so this was a step in the right direction.

Portland was completely in charge when the two teams last met earlier in the regular season, breezing past San Diego 92-60 at home. Will the Pilots repeat their success, or do the Toreros have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
