PORTLAND NOTES
• Portland overcame an 18-point second half deficit to defeat CSUN 80-77 on the road Saturday. JoJo Walker recorded his second straight career high with 23 points and added seven assists with no turnovers.
• Sophomore PG Marcus Shaver Jr. was named to the Rainbow Classic All-Tournament Team earlier this year. Last season, he became the first Pilot to earn All-WCC Freshman Team honors since Taishi Ito in 2007 and first UP freshman to garner honorable mention status since Donald Wilson in 2003. He ranks seventh in the WCC in scoring this year (19.0).
• The Pilots return four starters and six of the team's seven leading scorers from a year ago.
• Portland returns four redshirts to the lineup this season in Pittsburgh transfer G Crisshawn Clark, freshmen Hugh Hogland and Takiula Fahrensohn, and junior Xavier Hallinan.
• Five other newcomers join the roster highlighted by 7-foot sophomore Jacob Tryon (East Los Angeles College). The freshmen newcomers include C Theo Akwuba who averaged a triple double with blocked shots in Montgomery, Ala., athletic F Josh Phillips, G Miles Turner, and F Wyatt Watson.
• Injuries have sidelined Clark and Tryon, who were expected to play significant minutes and battle for spots in the starting lineup.
• Former Portland State head coach Tyler Geving has joined the Pilots as an interim assistant coach. Geving, who brings 20-plus years of coaching experience including eight at the helm of the Vikings, will fill in for Kramer Knutson who is on family leave.
