Good News, Bad News for Vikings: Portland State qualified for the six-team Big Sky Conference Tournament by virtue of Eastern Washington’s win against Idaho State last night. As the sixth and final team, the Vikings will play Eastern Washington in the first round Saturday. But they must face the Eagles without sophomore center Scott Morrison, the team’s leading rebounder. The conference suspended Morrison for one game for throwing a punch against Montana in the Vikings’ overtime win last weekend. Morrison averages 9.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per game for Portland State. [2/28/06]
