In a thrilling matchup at the Chiles Center, the Portland Pilots narrowly defeated the Seattle U Redhawks with a final score of 54-53. This game was particularly significant as both teams were looking to improve their standings in the NCAAB league, with Seattle U entering the contest with a better overall record of 15-10 compared to Portland's 12-14. The Pilots' recent form included a win against Gonzaga, showcasing their potential to compete against strong opponents, while Seattle U had been struggling, winning only four of their last ten games.

However, their away performance has been troubling, as they have lost all five of their last away games, which further complicated their chances against a determined Portland side.

The matchup was closely contested throughout, with both teams exchanging leads. Key moments included Dante Censori-Hercules making two free throws that brought Seattle U to within one point late in the game. John Christofilis then tied the game with a jumper, but Brayden Maldonado responded with a three-pointer for Portland, putting them ahead. In the final moments, a tip-in layup by Censori-Hercules gave the Pilots the lead they would not relinquish.
