The City Of Portland Eats Its Own

No. 25 Portland is ranked for the first time in more than 50 years after beating UCLA and Minnesota last week. They figured to get a reprieve tonight and a chance to prove city dominance when they took on cross-town rival Portland State Vikings. Instead, they got beat, ensuring that their first stint in the Top 25 since 1959 would be a short one. Adding insult to injury? Scoring eight points and grabbing five boards for the Vikings was Jamie Jones, who formerly played for Portland before transferring.

↵The biggest upset of all? Learning that Portland and Portland State are not in the same conference.
