The first round of the Big Sky tournament gets underway as the Northern Colorado Bears and Portland State Vikings go at it on Tuesday afternoon.
This will feature the 8 and 9 teams in the conference, meaning not much separates these two on the court or on paper.
Northern Colorado Bears
The Bears won just 10 games during the regular season, but they did a majority of their damage in conference play.
Northern Colorado won 7 games in the conference, which was good enough for the 9 seed. The bad news for the Bears is that they really limped toward the end of the season.
