Go to the men s basketball page and click on the Media Guide link at the top of the page. The Portland State Vikings men s basketball team is in the midst of pre-season practice as it prepares for the 2015-16 season. PSU comes off a 15-14 season last year. The Vikings were 9-9 in the Big Sky Conference, placing sixth. Five letterwinners and two redshirts return, while eight signees and one walk-on have joined the team for this season. The Vikings play an exhibition game on Nov. 6 against Lewis and Clark at the Stott Center. The first counting game is Nov. 13 at Grand Canyon University of the Western Athletic Conference. PSU s home opener is Nov. 16 against Pacific Lutheran. 2015-16 VIKING SEASON PREVIEW The Portland State Vikings will go after a third straight winning season in 2015-16, but believe they have the potential for a lot more. Tyler Geving begins his seventh season as Head Coach on the Park Blocks and 12th overall. With his combination of talented returners, transfers and recruits, Geving expects his Vikings to play deep into March. Portland State has five returning letterwinners, three returning starters and two returning redshirts in 2015-16. The Vikings lost their top three scorers in DaShaun Wiggins, Gary Winston and Tiegbe Bamba as all completed their college careers in 2014-15. However, JR F Braxton Tucker (11.5 ppg, 5.3 rpg,.500 FG%), SR C Collin Spickerman (4.4 ppg, 4.3 rpg, school-record 2.5 bpg), and JR Gs Bryce White (9.5 ppg, 4.1 rpg) and Zach Gengler (4.6 ppg, 2.5 rpg) return with a combined 63 starts. Geving has brought in three Division I transfers that should all have a big impact in 15-16: JR G Calaen Robinson, GR F Cameron Forte and GR G Donivine Stewart. Robinson is a 6-2 combo guard who was a redshirt for the Vikings in 2014-15 after transferring from Arizona State. Forte, a 6-7 forward from Georgia, and Stewart, a 6-foot guard from SIUE, are also transfers who have received degrees from their previous institutions and have one year of eligibility remaining. Both can play right away. That gives the Vikings a solid seven with which to begin. But the talent doesn t stop there. Other important newcomers include Evan Garrison (JR, 5-10, Clark College), De Sean Parsons (JR, 6-7, Salt Lake CC), Khari Holloway (JR, 6-2, Mesa CC), Isaiah Pineiro (SO, 6-6, Sierra JC), Namdi Okonkwo (JR, 7-0, Western Wyoming JC) and Armani Collins (FR, 6-5, Stuart Hall (CA) HS). Other returners are letterwinner Montie Leunen (JR, 6-4) and redshirt Daniel Davydov (FR, 6-0). Austin Bryant (FR, 6-6) has joined the program as a walk-on. The Vikings should have plenty of depth at every position. We have eight new guys to blend together, figure out rotations and figure out roles, said Viking Coach Tyler Geving. That is the mystery right now. It varies from day to day on who fits where, but I think it is a good thing, because it means we have some depth. We have multiple guys that can play multiple positions and that is a real positive for us. In fact, the biggest challenge for the Vikings may simply be everyone finding their role. But Geving thinks that has been addressed in the off-season and the pre-season. We have functioned pretty well here offensively, he said. We have always had scorers. We will continue to play up-tempo and push it. We will have to play a little bit faster with the 30-second shot clock this year. Sharing the basketball is important. When you have multiple guys that can score, you have to have them buying into playing for each other. As a result we have looked hard at building team chemistry and think we ve done a good job with that. We are trying to build the trust and talk about playing for each other. That part has been good so far but we will wait until we are hit with a little adversity and see how the team deals with it. But we definitely have more of a team feel now than we did last year. At the point, Robinson, Stewart and Garrison will all vie for time. Robinson may have the inside track to start, but is expected to play significant time at the off-guard position as well due to his ability to run the floor and score. Stewart has the experience of starting 58 games at the Division I level, averaging 10.5 points and 4.3 assists for SIUE. Garrison brings a leadership quality and toughness to the role after being the starting point at Clark College last season. Also contending to start on the perimeter are White and Gengler, who combined for 23 starts in 2014-15. White is a versatile offensive performer returning from a back injury that cut his sophomore season short after 13 games. Gengler proved to be one of the Vikings top defenders in the second half of the season. Parsons, Holloway and Collins will also battle for time at the 2 and 3 positions. The front court appears to be vastly upgraded for the Vikings as returner Braxton Tucker is now joined by Forte and Isaiah Pineiro. Tucker is PSU s top returning scorer, while Forte has two years experience in the SEC. Forte can score in a variety of ways and should be a big contributor. All three are capable of playing the 3 or the 4. Portland State s defensive capabilities should be impressive with the return of the Big Sky s leading shot blocker, center Collin Spickerman. The 6-8 post with a 7-2 wingspan set a PSU record with 2.5 blocks per game as a junior. Expected to back him up with be the first seven-footer ever at PSU, Namdi Okonkwo. A transfer from Western Wyoming JC, Okonkwo is not only tall, but very athletic and springy. Those two should be great rim protectors for the Vikings. Defensively, we will play the percentages a little more, said Geving. In the past we gambled a little on steals and being up-tempo. We will try not to extend too much because we have two good shot-blockers in Collin and Namdi. We kind of did that at the end of last year because of Collin and we were holding teams to 41-42% shooting. Knowing those guys are back to protect the rim is a pretty good weapon. When you have the leading shot-blocker back, and a 7-footer that s a pretty good shot-blocker and quick off his feet - there are times we can be aggressive - but we will play the percentages more. 2015-16 Viking Basketball 1

HEAD COACH TYLER GEVING Tyler Geving is in his seventh year as Head Coach of the Portland State basketball program after being an assistant and associate head coach for the previous four years. Geving s teams have had winning records the last two years and three of the last four. The 2013-14 team earned a berth in the CollegeInsider.com post-season tournament. Geving played a major role in the Vikings climb to two straight trips to the NCAA tournament during the 2007-09 seasons. The Vikings compiled a 77-49 record over his four seasons as an assistant. Geving has been in collegiate coaching for 21 seasons.

The Big Sky will move its conference tournament to a neutral site in Reno, NV. All 12 teams will be part of the tournament for the first time as it takes place at the Reno Events Center, Mar. 8-12. The stress level of getting to the tournament goes away a little, said Geving for his coaching brethren. Having four teams getting a first-round bye will keep most teams motivated. There is that carrot out there to finish in the top four because you would rather play three nights than four nights. The difference between fourth and fifth can be a big. FAST BREAKS Portland State has had back-to-back winning seasons (17-15 in 2013-14, 15-14 in 2014-15) and will try to make it three straight winning seasons for the first time since 2006-09. PSU ranked 25th in the nation in free throw percentage (.742) last season, coming within.0006 of setting a school record (.7424 to.7430 in 2012-13). Collin Spickerman led the Big Sky Conference in blocked shots in 2014-15, with 72 swats. His 2.5 average per game also set a Portland State record. JR G Zach Gengler had only 15 turnovers in 415 minutes of playing time last season (1.4 per 40 minutes). In his two seasons, Gengler has only 30 turnovers in 52 games played. Portland State was 4-0 in its non-conference games in 2014-15. The Vikings have lost only six non-conference home games in the last nine seasons (39-6). PSU is 23-6 against Division I schools and 16-0 against lower division schools. Portland State begins its 20th season as a member of the Big Sky Conference in 2015-16. PSU won Big Sky regular season titles in 2004-05 and 2007-08. The Vikings won Big Sky tournament titles, advancing to the NCAA Tournament in 2007-08 and 2008-09. The Vikings non-conference schedule includes five home games and six road games. PSU will host its annual meeting with the University of Portland on Dec. 2. The Vikings will also host Cal State Fullerton and Cal State Northridge of the Big West. Small college foes include Pacific Lutheran and Multnomah at the Stott Center in the preseason... PSU s road schedule includes trips to Grand Canyon, CSU Bakersfield and Texas Rio Grande Valley of the Western Athletic Conference, Nevada of the Mountain West, Washington State of the Pac-12, and SIU Edwardsville of the Ohio Valley... the Vikings 18-game Big Sky Conference schedule begins on Jan. 2, hosting travel partner Sacramento State. It continues through a final home game on Mar. 5 against Southern Utah. The regular season conference schedule is still unbalanced. As a result, PSU will not travel to Northern Arizona and Southern Utah this season, and will not host North Dakota and Northern Colorado. 2015-16 BIG SKY CONFERENCE PRESEASON POLLS The Portland State Vikings have been picked as middle-of-the-pack finishers in the Big Sky Conference preseason men s basketball polls. League coaches have picked the Vikings to place sixth, while league media has picked the Vikings seventh. Weber State was picked number one in the coaches poll, followed by Montana. Montana took top honors in the media poll, followed by Weber State. Defending tournament champion Eastern Washington was tabbed to finish third in both polls. PSU comes off a 15-14 season in 2014-15.

Spickerman prepped less than 10 miles from the PSU campus at Portland s Jesuit High School. He spent one season at Alaska Anchorage and one season at Clark (WA) College. In 2013-14 he was the NWAACC West Region Player of the Year after averaging 17.9 points, 9.1 rebounds and 2.9 blocked shots per game. White prepped less than five miles from the PSU campus at Portland s Benson Tech. He was named the NWAACC South Region Player of the Year in 2013-14 after averaging 27.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists at Chemeketa CC. JR G Zach Gengler was the Oregon 5A High School Player of the Year in 2012-13. JR C Namdi Okonkwo is the first 7-foot player in Portland State s Big Sky era (1996-2015) and perhaps ever.

Basketball was reinstated for the 1996-97 season. Construction of the new The Viking Pavilion will begin in late fall of 2015. The Pavilion will consist of an upgraded Stott Center facility, including a new arena for Viking basketball, as well as athletic training enhancements, academic upgrades and overall facility enhancements. The Viking Pavilion will more than double the capacity of PSU s home court (to be situated on the east side of the building) to somewhere between 3,000-4,000 seats. The arena is expected to be available for play beginning in January 2018. Portland State received public recognition from the NCAA in 2014 for being among the top 10 percent of teams in multiyear Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores for the four-year period ending in 2012-13. PSU basketball, which received APR sanctions six years ago, is now among the top programs in the nation in APR scores. Head Coach Tyler Geving has led the program to that accomplishment. PSU had the only men s basketball program in the Big Sky Conference and among the state of Oregon s four Division I programs to be among the top 10 percent recognized by the NCAA. Head Coach Tyler Geving and Associate Head Coach Jeff Hironaka were both assistant coaches on the 2000-01 Seattle Pacific basketball staff. Special Advisor Barry Adams, a high school coaching legend in the state of Oregon, was elected to the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame on March 10, 2014. Adams spent more than four decades as a prep coach in the state. Assistant Coach Michael Plank spent a portion of his summer working with the Costa Rican National Team. Former Viking Ime Udoka played seven seasons in the NBA. He started 75 games for the Portland Trail Blazers in 2006-07. Udoka is now an assistant coach with the San Antonio Spurs, and won an NBA title with the team in 2013-14. Julius Thomas, who holds Portland State records for games played (121), field goal percentage in a season and career (.671/.663), and career wins (78) was a two-time Pro Bowler for the Denver Broncos. Thomas played on two Big Sky Conference Championship/NCAA Tournament teams (2007-08, 2008-09) at PSU. He competed in Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014. Thomas signed a free agent contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2015. 2014-15 SEASON REVIEW The Portland State Vikings completed their 2014-15 season with a 15-14 record.
