PICK: I’m going to stick with Portland here. The Pilots didn’t shoot great against SEMO their last time up, with just 38.6 percent from the field. Portland was solid on the boards with 36 rebounds and notched 13 team assists, however. As for Incarnate Word, they’ve had a couple of good scoring outings so far but it’s hard to find many positives. If Portland plays to their capabilities they shouldn’t have an issue covering in this one.
