as advertised...Portland plays their first game since a few wins against surprisingly soft teams
has caused some poll voters to severely overrate them....and guess what??

they lost last night to lowly (1-4) Portland State.
So where are those who said Portlond has quickly risen to the point of being one of the power teams in the WCC?

They played a "trap game"!

Portland must of had a let down. I play pick up ball with this guy who was a walk on as USF and he said the guys at Portland are for real. HE played them 2 years ago as most the guys were Sophomores and he said they were good then. I trust this guys opinion. Matter of fact when they play USF and it is not a night we play I'll head on over to watch them. It's a small gym and the seats go at $15 a pop.
