PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) Portland State coach Bruce Barnum was temporarily distracted by the fact that a Gatorade shower had clogged up his ears and he couldn't hear a thing. But no words were necessary when he finally made his way to the locker room following the Vikings' upset win over Washington State.

His assistants were all grinning ear-to-ear.

''So I said to them, `That was kind of a big deal, wasn't it?''' Barnum said.

The Vikings were still abuzz this week after the 24-17 season-opening win over the Cougars in Pullman, Washington, on Saturday.
