Portland State will end its regular season tonight with a home game at 7:00 pm against Idaho State. It has been an up and down season for the Vikings, but it is for sure ending on a high note. Winners of 4 of last 5, with a really good chance to make the Big Sky playoffs and finishing in the top seven in league.
As a matter of fact if the Vikings win tonight, they will finish at least in fifth spot, a position they are tied with at present with Eastern Washington and Northern Colorado, but hold the tiebreaker over both of those teams.
Tyler Geving and his wonderful staff, will never get the credit they deserve this year for the coaching job they have done. After Geving dismissed his best player in early January, almost everyone wrote off Geving and his team, except people that know basketball and know what a good coach he is indeed.
It is thought that Geving is in the last year of his contract and it was the total sentiment going around the Stott Center last Thursday night, that Portland State should give Geving an extension even before tonight's game, as a strong statement for the job he has done. I am convinced he will get that extension, but it can't come soon enough.
One of the best coaching jobs on the west coast was done right here in Portland, Oregon, at Portland State University.
