Grrrr. Not able to make the game tonight.

Good start.

Couldn't make it myself, but watching the game on the internet from the Pilot's website. No Tucker and too many turnovers, but overall, pretty good 1st half. Go Viks!!!

Always nice to beat the Pilots!!!! Robinson's 3 pt shot towards the end of the game was a thing of pure beauty!!! Go Viks!!!

Finally Geving gets a win vs UP in forever. Victory is sweet!

I couldn't make the game either, dammit! Great win with a tune up game coming up before conference. Is it a trap?

Great win.

Up double digits, then down late, only to pull it off. It seemed like we could have had this in the bag early in the second half.

This is a great game to build on going into conference play.

Some thoughts:

- Way to go on the boards tonight. I think that was what pushed us over the top.

- Is Swag from 1080 the Fan still UP’s radio guy? Nothing wrong with that at all, I was just surprised since I don’t tune in to their radio broadcasts.

- Depth seemed to be a concern on the UP message board, and I see that two of their starters played the entire game. Could also be the pot calling the kettle black as two of our players logged 37+ minutes.

- Who doesn’t love Zach Gengler? Great late play and the assist to that great shot that Robinson hit!

On to, uh, Walla Walla.

3-1 against the WCC, one of the more premier mid-major basketball conferences in the country. Should bode well for conference play as the Big Sky was ranked 29th out of 32 DI mens basketball conferences, the last time I saw any rankings.

I was able to go to the game. It was awesome. UP fans were totally flat until they tied it up with about 5 minutes to go. At that point, we had to win the game. The 3 at the end was absolutely priceless. I also snagged a nice video of Bryce Canda that PSU re-blogged on Instagram, haha! Probably will go to the game on the 29th.
