The Vikings leave for Omaha!
If you were out in the Park Blocks today, you might have heard drumming and cheering. And that’s because there was a little send-off party for the Vikings as they headed off into Portland State’s first-ever foray into the NCAA tournament.
About 120 people gathered outside the Stott Center this afternoon to see the men’s basketball team off. As you might imagine, there was cheering and smiling faces everywhere. There was also a drum team (cool!), cheerleaders (kind of cool!) and Jerry Glanville (conspicuously cool!).
It was a generally low-key affair, no speeches were made or anything, but there was a nice aura of team spirit and camaraderie—something that PSU doesn’t usually experience.
