GU-Portland ready for tip

Good evening from the rapidly filling Chiles Center. The student section is packed and an overflow of perhaps 200  students are seated in adjacent section. Tonight's game is a sell-out (the arena holds 4,852). The Pilots' biggest crowd prior to GU's visit was 3,833 for last Saturday's win over Saint Mary's. As always, a sizable group of Zag fans here.

Here's the unofficial word on starters (guessing a few of you are wondering about that): Gonzaga -- Gray, Harris, Sacre, Monninghoff and Goodson.  Portland -- Sikma, Knutson, Stohl, Mitrovic and Douglas.

Check back here for a quick recap at the buzzer and a full game story roughly an hour later.
