SAN DIEGO (AP) — Alec Wintering hit a 3-pointer with 0.3 seconds left on Saturday night and Portland finished with a 9-0 run to beat San Diego 61-58 in the West Coast Conference opener for both teams.

Gerun finished with 13 point and 14 rebounds and the Pilots (10-3). D'Marques Tyson added 13 points and Bryce Pressley scored 11.
Brandon Perry's putback gave San Diego a 58-52 lead with 2:47 to play, but the Toreros (7-6) went scoreless from there.
