Stars: Junior guard Matt Stucki is averaging 11.7 points for the Bengals and had a season-high 26 when the Vikings topped the Idaho State 71-61 in Pocatello on Jan. 13. Portland State senior center Scott Morrison has scored in double figures in six straight games and is averaging 16.5 points during the Vikings’ current winning streak.
Just a taste: The Vikings started their six-game winning streak with a win over Idaho State one month ago. With the opportunity to avenge an early season loss to Weber State Saturday, it will be crucial that the Vikings do not overlook the surprising Bengals on Thursday night. The Bengals have quality wins over both Weber State and Eastern Washington, the only two Big Sky teams that have defeated the Vikings this season.
