And it’s over

Tiefenthaler is at the line again. He’s playing well and under control. He hits both. Andre Murray is at the line. The refs have finally decided to use their whistles, but it’s coming with just 4:25 left.

“Well, we made it to 50,” says sports editor Nathan Hellman. It’s 75-50. Tiefenthaler again! Let’s get this guy some PT next year. It’s 77-56 after a Dupree Lucas three. Kansas still has its big guns in.

The Jayhawks just hit 80 points. They have certainly taken the Vikings seriously. A sign of respect? Time out on the floor and its 82-58 with the Vikings shooting free throws when we come back from the break.

One of two for Dominguez at the line. Bone is putting all his seniors in. Classy move. Circus shot from Dominguez to break the 60-point barrier. Nice way to end his year, Hellman says. Agreed.

Under a minute to go. The seconds are ticking off the Vikings’ season. Curtis has the ball. The Jayhawks can dribble out the clock. Shot clock is off and a final rebound for Scott Morrison to end his career. Curtis clanks a three.

The game is over. Your final is 85-61. The Vikings are walking off the floor, ending their historic season. They are the best Portland State basketball team ever. They’ve got nothing to be ashamed of.
