* PORTLAND (9-10, 2-4) at LOYOLA MARYMOUNT (6-13, 2-4), 7, KXLU-FM (88.9)--After nearly pulling off a Bay Area sweep, the Lions can move into a fourth-place tie with a victory over the slumping Pilots, losers of four in a row. Loyola forward Elton Mashack, the team’s second-leading scorer and top rebounder, missed Saturday’s loss at San Francisco with a sprained ankle and remains questionable. Portland is missing junior swingman Carmie Olowoyo who left the team Jan. 8 to attend to a family crisis in his native Australia.
