SAN DIEGO (Interstat) ā Two West Coast Conference menās basketball teams seeking momentum will meet Wednesday night when the Portland Pilots visit the San Diego Toreros at Jenny Craig Pavilion. Portland (12-14) enters on a modest uptick, having won two of its last three games, including a narrow 54-53 victory over Seattle and an 87-80 upset of Gonzaga. The Pilotsā recent success has been fueled by guard James OāDonnell, who is averaging 14.3 points over his last seven contests. He scored 16 points in the win over the Bulldogs and added 13 in the victory against Seattle. San Diego (10-16) looks to halt a three-game skid, most recently an 83-63 loss at Loyola Marymount. The Toreros have shown flashes, with a 92-88 overtime win at Pepperdine and a 96-92 victory over Washington State last month. Guard Dominique Ford, coming off a 14-point performance against LMU, will be a key factor for the home team. Both squads have struggled for consistency in conference play. The Pilots have relied on a balanced attack, with Jermaine Ballisager Webb and Joel Foxwell providing support for OāDonnell. The Toreros will need production beyond Ford, with Brandon Benjamin and Juanse Gorosito among those tasked with providing scoring punch. The matchup represents a critical opportunity for both teams to build confidence ahead of the final stretch of the regular season. Portland aims to climb back to .500, while San Diego seeks to rediscover its early-January form. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. PST on Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2026. The teams will meet again in Portland on Feb. 28.
