Northridge, in its inaugural Big Sky season, opens conference play with home games against two of the weaker teams in the conference: Portland State tonight and Eastern Washington on Saturday. The Matadors’ three-game winning streak came to an end in a 90-65 loss at Iowa on Sunday. Portland State, competing in college basketball for the first time since 1981, has played the sixth-toughest schedule in Division I, according to Jeff Sagarin’s computer rankings, but both victories were against NAIA schools.
