We nearly upset
Baylor in the gauntlet, but can't quite get it done. On the positive side, we land a second commit:

We spend all our energy coming back to tie
Fairleigh-Dickinson and collapse in the last minute. But then a wild second half sees
Gary Hine explode for 28 points and 2 steals in 18 minutes to lead a thrilling 86-82 win over
Towson. Second is
Rainier Roussel with 18 points and a block[/b].
Heath Wagstaff scores 12, and
Maxwell Malyon adds 14 by living at the charity stripe.
Our first home game of the season is an asskicking at
Air Force's hands, and we drop a 3 point heartbreak to
Troy next. Ugly 38-45 loss to
Iona and I'm wondering if I scheduled too aggressively. Or maybe we just suck -
bullshit buzzer-beater loss to the Matadors to lose to CSU-Northridge for the first time in Portland.
We're just that bad. Our losing streak continues the next two games.
Silver lining? We grab the best international center.

I'm excited to see this kid play - especially once he develops.
