Looking to put together their first set of back-to-back wins this season, the Lions found themselves locked in neck and neck battle with the Portland Pilots, a team the Lions had previously defeated this season at Gersten Pavilion.
The Lions would come short in the end, as the Pilots would pull away late to come away with a 74-63 hard earned win.
The Lions ran into a Pilot team on one of their best nights of the season as the Pilots out shot the Lions. The Pilots shot at 52 percent clip in each half, while the Lions went from shooting close to 54 percent in the first half, to finishing at 47 percent from the field.
The Lions fall to 5-19, 2-6 in WCC play, while the Pilots move to 8-16 and 2-6 in WCC play. The Pilots win forces a three-way tie for fifth place in the conference between Portland, Loyola Marymount, and San Francisco. Only Pepperdine trails the pack with 1-7 WCC record.
Up Next: The Lions head to Spokane to take on the Gonzaga Bulldogs. Tip-off will be at 5:00pm in Spokane, Wash. The game can be seen live on FSN Prime Ticket.
