Portland State gets chance at the Big Dance

If the Viks win the tourny, they get an automatic bid to the NCAA "March Madness" tournament. As Big Sky champs, they'll go to the NIT if they don't go to the Big Dance. Maybe they can do the latter and become a Cinderella team.

Viks crowned Big Sky champs

Against Montana State Thursday night, the Vikings shot their way to the Big Sky regular-season title, defeating the Bears 96-68 behind a school-record 70 percent shooting from the field.
With the win, Portland State (19-9, 12-2 BSC) clinches the right to host the Big Sky Tournament for the first time since 2005. The tournament is scheduled for March 11-12 at the Rose Garden, and ticket information is available at www.Goviks.com.

In my opinion the Vikings are already the “Cinderella” team. They are an outstanding team whom the Big Sky conference (coaches/media polls) picked to finish 4th.

Here they now site at #1 and on top of that they are breaking all kinds of Portland State basketball records.

Go Viks!
