What to Know

The San Francisco Dons won both of their matches against the Portland Pilots last season (88-64 and 79-63) and are aiming for the same result this past Saturday. San Francisco and Portland will face off in a West Coast battle at 8 p.m. ET at Earle A. Chiles Center. The Dons should still be riding high after a win, while the Pilots will be looking to right the ship.

While not quite a landslide, the contest between San Francisco and the Brigham Young Cougars this past Thursday was still a pretty decisive one as San Francisco wrapped it up with a 73-59 victory on the road. Five players on San Francisco scored in the double digits: forward Yauhen Massalski (16), guard Khalil Shabazz (15), guard Gabe Stefanini (15), guard Jamaree Bouyea (13), and forward Patrick Tape (10). That makes it five consecutive games in which Yauhen Massalski has had at least ten rebounds.

Meanwhile, Portland was expected to have a tough go of it this past Thursday, and that's exactly how things played out. Their painful 75-54 defeat to the Saint Mary's Gaels might stick with them for a while. Guard Tyler Robertson (15 points) was the top scorer for the Pilots.

The Dons are the favorite in this one, with an expected 15-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 6-12 against the spread when favored.

Portland's loss took them down to 11-11 while San Francisco's win pulled them up to 18-5. This past Thursday San Francisco relied heavily on Massalski, who dropped a double-double on 16 points and 13 rebounds. It will be up to Portland's defense to limit his damage.
