The Portland Pilots had a big win over the UC Riverside Highlanders on Saturday, thanks in part to a 22-point performance from guard Marcus Harris. Harris was on fire from the start, scoring 11 points in the first half to help the Pilots take a 37-28 lead into halftime.
The second half was more of the same, as Harris continued to dominate, scoring 11 more points and helping Portland extend their lead to double digits. The Highlanders were able to cut the deficit to seven points late in the game, but the Pilots held on for a 76-65 victory.
Harris was the star of the show, finishing with 22 points on 8-of-14 shooting from the field. He also added four rebounds and two assists in the win. His performance was a big reason why the Pilots were able to come away with the victory.
The win was a big one for Portland, as it improved their record to 6-3 on the season. It was also a great way for Harris to bounce back after a subpar performance in their last game against Gonzaga.
The Pilots will look to keep the momentum going as they take on the Oregon Ducks next week. If Harris can continue to play at a high level, Portland has a great chance of coming away with another win.
