PORTLAND, Ore. -- Isaiah Pineiro scored 14 points and grabbed 12 rebounds and San Diego overwhelmed Portland from the start and beat the Pilots 76-55 on Thursday night.
San Diego (13-6, 2-2 West Coast Conference) never trailed in building a 17-3 lead that was largely never threatened.

Jose Martinez led the Toreros in scoring with 15 points.
Isaiah Wright returned to the lineup for San Diego after missing the past four games due to a wrist injury he sustained in a game against Drake on Dec. 23. He finished with 11 points, eight rebounds and four assists.
Marcus Shaver Jr. led Portland (7-12, 0-4) with 21 points.
