Portland Coach Eric Reveno returned 'home' today (if the 18 miles to Stanford constitutes a close enough proximity) and doubled his enjoyment with his Pilots winning 73-68 over San Jose State University.
But for the first time Spartan fans got to witness guard Jordan Baker and forward Frank Rogers on the court and that dynamic duo produced 17 points and 16 points respectively. They teamed up in a manner as with 0:54 on the clock, Baker missed both free throws but Rogers grabbed the second miss, scored the basket while being fouled and made the resulting free throw. That effort put SJSU up 62-60 at the time.
Baker shot 3-8 at the free throw line and committed six turnovers so let's hope his being back for the first time accounts for these.
A highlight was freshman guard Darryl Gaynor II's 12 points against a very solid opponent this time. Portland was listed in sixth place (of 10) in the 2014-15 West Coach Conference coaches poll.
The Washington Square crew led 37-26 after the first 20 minutes and also led in overtime at one point but Portland prevailed.
