That first half was utterly putrid, yet typical of how the season went for the Viks. :oops:

One game, nothing goes wrong. The next game, nothing goes right.
PSU's women were behind the 8-ball the whole season, so it anyone deserves a pass this year it's them.
Well, after the EWU game, I thought we had a decent chance to pull the upset. I didn't know Streun was going to be the only one who got the wakeup call this morning.

Eh, Idaho State's a vastly superior team than Eastern Washington.

Sac led 9-3 early, then MSU went up 12, then Sac went on an 8-0 run to cut it to 4 at the half.

Well, Sac could win the whole thing if everyone else gets COVID-ed. I mean, that's about their only shot, but still… :lol:
My only comforting thought is that Griz would have gotten rolled....AGAIN....by the ‘scats anyways, so what difference does it make, other than leaving huge question marks about the “interim” coach....
Well, being the first ever team to lose to the lowest seed in the BSCT (men or women) is no laughing matter...ok, yes it is. :lol:

Scrappy first half by the Hornets, then they came back down to earth for the 2nd and got rolled. Piss poor ball control and didn;t make aggressive drives to the hoop like they did last night. Oh well, a win exceeded all expectations and it was nice to see the Bunky era close out on a bit of a high note.

That said, bye bye Bunky.

Idaho dominates the second half to win by 16, so it'll be Moscow vs. Pocatello in Boise.

The confetti went off 6 seconds early, but the margin was too big for that to jinx Idaho State. The Bengals win by 35 and will head to the NCAA Tournament for the 4th. time.
