PSU had an amazing night of shooting:
After making their first six field-goal attempts, including four consecutive three-pointers, PSU topped that with a six-minute stretch in which it made seven consecutive three-pointers.
At one point, 17 of the Vikings' 21 field-goal attempts were three-pointers -- 12 of which went in. In the first half, the Vikings (19-9) shot 64.7percent from the field and 57.1percent from beyond the arc.
The victory didn't help the Vikings move any closer to second-place Montana in the Big Sky standings, and they actually fell a half-game farther behind by virtue of Montana's win over Idaho State.
Still, the players were confident that the momentum from Saturday's win would carry over into this week's final two conference games against Montana State and Eastern Washington.
"We know if we beat this team, we can beat anybody else in our league," Nelson said. "We can just start a run from now, win out and get through the tournament and into the NCAAs."
Bone has his fingers crossed.
"It's sweet that we won and it's sweet that we had a great crowd and it was on national TV," he said. "But I hope it's not a distraction to what our biggest goal is, and that's to get to the NCAA Tournament."
