Here's yet another prediction of WCC standing in February, but this one is by Will Maupin, whom I consider to be more knowledgeable of the WCC than most....

9. Portland Pilots (10-22, 4-14 WCC)

The Pilots won 10 games last season, but three of those came against non-D1 opposition. In March, the WCC mandated that teams can play no more than two such games per season. Sorry, Portland.

The team’s top-three scorers all return, led by sophomore guard Marcus Shaver (12.3 ppg). There’s more experience on this team than you would expect from a roster without a single senior, but maybe not enough talent to make a jump this season — especially if talented but oft-injured Pitt transfer Crisshawn Clark can’t stay healthy.
