THE PORTLAND PILOTS ARE YOUNG AND NEW. THIS IS THEIR NEW COACH'S THIRD GAME AS A HEAD COACH.

Our fourth game is against the Portland University Pilots in Maples. Eight of their players are from Australia and one is from New Zealand. I have no idea what we'll be up against on Tuesday night, but one of their Aussies is 6'-8" and another is 6'-6". They had a so-so year last season, but many of their players are freshmen or transfers. 

In their first two games the Pilots are led by two juniors from Australia - Alex Fowler is one of the leading scorers in their conference, and Lucy Cochrane a 6'-6" post player is a leading rebounder in their conference. In their first two games this season they forced an average of 27 turnovers per game and allowed a three-point shooting percentage of 5%. 

Sounds like just the medicine we need to clean up the game we just had against the Longhorns. What if we limit our turnovers to ten or so and hit at least ten three-pointers. 

Let's control this game from the opening tip.

LET'S GO CARDINAL!!
