Big Sky Tournament

Quarterfinals: (1) Portland State 73, (9) Northern Colorado 63

Gerald Rausch and Jan Sessions come up huge for the Vikings, both coming away with double doubles and making up for the absence of Jonathan Wilson. The Vikings outrebounded Northern Colorado 46-28.

Semifinals: (5) Weber State 67, (1) Portland State 63

Rausch has another double-double and the Vikings take 24 more shots than Weber State, but it isn't enough because of a hideous 3 for 29 performance from 3 pt range. After winning the conference tourney as a huge underdog, they've fallen twice as the favorite.
