Portland State Will Play a Lot of Home Games

Schedules are officially trickling out, including the release of Portland State's. Their release states they will be playing a school record 17 home games.

Portland State men's basketball will host an unprecedented 17 home games in the 2013-14 season. The Vikings have seven pre-season home games including their own three-day tournament, Nov. 22-24. PSU has 10 Big Sky Conference home games for a total of 17 in the Peter W. Stott Center. The Vikings also play 12 road games in 2013-14 for a total of 29 leading up to the Big Sky Conference Tournament, Mar. 13-15.

As you may have guessed, those non-conference home games aren't always of the best quality. While teams like Portland and Idaho are coming to the Stott Center, so are teams like Evergreen State, Northwest Christian, and Pacific Lutheran.

The Vikings will be on the road for games against UNLV and Boise State, but otherwise have a non-conference schedule set up to begin conference play with some momentum, and potentially a strong record.
