PORTLAND, Ore. – Portland struggled early and dropped a 74-33 decision to No. 21 Saint Mary's Thursday night in West Coast Conference men's basketball play at the Chiles Center.
A winter storm in Portland caused havoc with nearly 12 inches of snow and ice throughout the city mid-week. The attendance was impacted as just 1,745 fans came out, more than 1,000 below the team's season average.
It was the second straight game impacted by winter weather as Portland's game scheduled for Jan. 7 against Gonzaga was postponed. That game has been re-scheduled for Monday, Jan. 23 at 5 p.
