* PORTLAND STATE (13-9, 8-3) at CAL STATE NORTHRIDGE (8-13, 4-7), 7 p.m.--Northridge began a five-game home stretch poorly, losing to Eastern Washington, 87-80, Thursday. Forward Jabari Simmons was the lone consistent Matador scorer with 30 points, the second game in a row he has posted a career high. Portland State, in its second season after reinstating a program dormant since 1981, is the surprise of the Big Sky.
