Derrick Rodgers' basket with 28 seconds remaining gave the Portland Pilots (1-0) the lead, and the West Coast Conference school, led by Nemanja Mitrovic's 18 points, defeated Florida Atlantic (0-1) 70-65 in action in the World Vision Classic.  It was the regular-season men's basketball opener for both schools.
