6. Portland

Last Week: 6

Record: 11-8 (3-4)

RPI: 151

KenPom: 104

Place in Conf. Standings: 6

The Pilots split their two games last week, which came after they recorded their marquee victory against travel partner Gonzaga the week prior.

The next three games will be a testament to whether Portland will be a player down the stretch. The Pilots host BYU and San Diego, then travel south to take on the USF Dons. A clean sweep would be an impressive feat, and would turn some heads around conference. With the Pilots experience, depth and talent, this would not be an inconceivable feat.
Last Week: W @ LMU (71-57), L @ Pepperdine (65-76)

This Week: vs. BYU, vs. San Diego
