I went to the Portland International Autoshow last night, and well, since I hate cars, that's all I'm going to tell you.

Tonight I went to the Portland State Vikings basketball game against Montana State. They were #1 in the Big Sky Conference, but if the Vikings beat them, they would assume control of that position. The Viks started out slow, but caught fire later on in the first half. They took a 30-25 lead into halftime but led 30-20 with about 40 seconds to go (they hit a three at the buzzer).

The game was a sellout, which will go in the books as 1500 people. Probably more like 1800 were in the gym though, lots of people standing and squeezed together. The crowd was very loud and enthusiastic, something the Viking games normally lack, so that was cool.

The second half was all Portland State, as they had numerous highlight reel type plays. On one, the point gaurd threw it off the backboard on a fastbreak and Blake Walker had a huge two handed slam off the pass. Then he took his shirt off to celebrate... and well... got a technical, but it was still cool.
