PORTLAND, Ore. – Tyler Robertson scored 22 points, but the Portland men's basketball team scored just 26 second half points in an 80-68 loss to the Seattle U Redhawks at the Chiles Center on Saturday.

Robertson added eight rebounds, four assists, and three steals to his 22 point game to lead the Pilots (4-2). Moses Wood helped out with 11 points and seven rebounds and Alden Applewhite chipped in with 10 points coming off the bench.

Portland forced 15 Seattle U turnovers while committing 12 themselves in Saturday's game. The Pilots turned those takeaways into 15 points on the offensive end of the floor.

How It Happened
