Highlighting the schedule
The Vikings host Oregon State University on Dec. 12, the first time a Pac-12 opponent has visited the Stott Center since the University of Oregon in January 2003. PSU also plays road games in Eugene against the Ducks and across town against the Portland Pilots.
“I think any time you can play all three Division I teams in the state and you get a chance to compete against them, it’s good for the fans and good for the program and makes it a little more exciting,” head coach Tyler Geving said of the opportunity.
Big Sky play also gets more interesting this season with the addition of two new members, North Dakota and Southern Utah. “There aren’t a lot of direct flights to the places we play, so you can get worn out traveling from city to city and day to day,” Geving said. “Adding two more teams that aren’t easy travel is going to be a challenge on the road for everybody in our league.”
The Stott Center hosts 13 games this season, with PSU taking to the road for 14 more regular season games.
