Basketball viewing party

For those Portland State students unable to travel with the men’s basketball team to Omaha, Neb. for the NCAA Tournament this week, you can still catch the game in the comfort of Smith Memorial Student Union.

The V-Team, Portland State athletics’ group of marketing students, is hosting an NCAA Tournament Viewing Party for the Vikings’ game against top-seeded Kansas on Thursday morning.

Being held in Smith Center’s Parkway North room, the viewing party is scheduled to last from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., as the Vikings’ matchup with the Jayhawks kicks off at 9:25 a.m. Thursday morning.

A large projection screen will be set up in Parkway North to display the game action, allowing fans to indulge in Portland State’s first ever NCAA Tournament appearance in style. An added bonus is Starbucks gift packs, Viking apparel, and free coffee and doughnuts that will be given to attendees.

Co-sponsors of the event include the Portland State Office of Communication, the Portland State Alumni Association and Portland State Audio and Visual.
