Dereks little brother has matured quite nicely this season, definitely the team leader and quite possibly the best rebounding guard ive seen this season. He also shoots a nice 45% from the field.

My Take:
The Pilots are growing up and making huge strides with every passing game. This team is already leaps and bounds more confident than the same pilots team that came to spokane a few weeks ago. Nik Raivio has been leading this team to new heights with big wins over UW and St. Mary's so far this year. I expect home court advantage to help level the playing field with the Zags, although in the end the Zags are a far more talented ball club.

Final Score: Gonzaga 77 Portland 65
