Player of the Week

 

Jeremiah Dominguez – Portland State

 

SPOKANE, Wash. - Jeremiah Dominguez hit seven three-pointers and scored a game-high 25 points as Portland State upset No. 7 Gonzaga, 77-70, on Tuesday night for its first-ever win over a ranked opponent.

The Vikings entered the contest 0-11 against Top 25 teams since reinstating their basketball program for the 1996-97 season, and hadn't won in Spokane since 1974.

Sophomore Phil Nelson hit the deciding shot for the Vikings with 1:09 left in the game.

The Knights have already lost to Lehigh, Binghamton, and St. Bonaventure (2 of those coming at home.) When they go on the road to face UNC in 2 weeks, the score could potentially be 100-0.
