PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Kyle Richardson scored 28 points and grabbed 14 boards in leading Portland State to a 78-74 overtime victory over Idaho State in a regular-season finale Saturday night.

Portland State (16-13, 11-9 Big Sky) jumped to a 33-27 lead over Idaho State (11-18, 8-12) in the final minutes of the first half, but the Bengals rebounded and led 65-63 before the Vikings' Richardson scored inside to tie the score at 65 and send the game to OT.
