PORTLAND, Ore. – The Portland Pilots women's basketball team was selected as a 12-seed for the upcoming 2023 NCAA Tournament. They will face off against the 5-seed Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday, March 18 in Los Angeles at Pauley Pavilion on UCLA's campus.
This is the sixth time in program history that the Pilots have earned a berth to the tournament. The last time the Pilots made the tournament was 2020, when the tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. The Pilots were an automatic qualifier this year after winning the 2023 WCC Tournament, their second championship in four years.
