Yep, another loss with another stretch of us not being able to put the ball in the basket. Pretty tough to win on the road when we do that.
"PSU dropped its seventh game in eight starts, with six of those losses by six points or less and four in overtime."
This is pretty much an abusive relationship at this point. :-\

We seem to spend 3/4ths of the game trying to get out of the way of the other team, then we try to rally from whatever deficit we are in at that point. We seem to mimic the Blazers in that regard.
There are fifteen players on the Viking roster. Eleven of them are transfers. I am not sure that is the way to build a winning Big Sky basketball team. While it may work at “Shoe U”, they have Dana Altman and we don’t. If we can’t recruit quality high school kids to PSU then we need a brand new set of recruiters.

Why is Portland State Athletics being so patient with Geving? Why do they persist in their tolerance of an underperforming program? Is there a plan in place or is it that they are merely resting on their laurels?
Oh, we don't have sufficient funds to have a good program. Is that it? Tell that to West Texas (UTEP) when they won the national championship years back. It takes a vision to motivate players to come to Portland State.
Portland is not a place where coaches come to retire while they are still coaching. This is incompetency in carrying out management's agency function. Unless there is a viable plan in place.

I'd say there was a lot more going on than just a funding issue in 1966 at Texas Western when they were able to win the national championship.

I have never been critical of any coach of any team I come across, whether I cheer for them or cheer against them. My overall feeling is the coach has more knowledge of basketball in their big toe than I have in my whole brain. However, I must say, coming from someone who followed Viking men's basketball extensively for the first time this year, the makeup of this team obviously did not set up to be languishing near the bottom of the conference standings.
