What to Know

After six games on the road, the Portland Pilots are heading back home. The Pilots and the Pacific Tigers will face off in a West Coast battle at 10 p.m. ET on Thursday at Earle A. Chiles Center. Portland hasn't won a matchup against Pacific since Dec. 29 of 2016, but they'll be looking to end the drought.

The game between Portland and the Brigham Young Cougars on Saturday was not particularly close, with Portland falling 78-65. Guard Mike Meadows had a pretty forgettable game, playing for 36 minutes but putting up just nine points.

Meanwhile, Pacific came up short against the San Diego Toreros on Saturday, falling 73-65. The losing side was boosted by guard Pierre Crockrell II, who had 24 points.

Barring any buzzer beaters, the Pilots are expected to win a tight contest. At 1-5 against the spread at home, they are no cash cow. That said, the Tigers aren't so hot on the road, where they are 0-6.

With the two teams each stumbling in off of a defeat, both will be hungry for the victory. We'll see which team satisfies their hunger and which team leaves with an empty stomach.
