To the victors belong the spoils.
 
Portland State's Big Sky Conference Champion Men's Basketball Team embodies that old adage as the Vikings have come away with three major Big Sky Conference honors and three All-Conference selections in voting done by league coaches. The Big Sky released post-season honors today.
 
Terri Miller Jr. has been named the Big Sky Conference Most Valuable Player. Tre-Vaughn Minott is a repeat winner of the Big Sky's Defensive Player of the Year. And Head Coach Jase Coburn has been named Big Sky Coach of the Year. Jaylin Henderson joins Miller on the Big Sky's first team All-Conference list, while Minott has been named second team All-Conference.
 
The awards are the Portland State Vikings' biggest haul of honors since the last time PSU won the regular season league title (2007-08). This year mirrors that season when Jeremiah Dominguez was Player of the Year and first team All-Conference, Deonte Huff was first team All-Conference, Scott Morrison was second team All-Conference and Defensive Player of the Year, and Ken Bone was named Coach of the Year.
 
Miller, a 6-8 forward from Fresno, CA, led the Vikings in scoring at 18.9 points per game, ranking second in the Big Sky. He is in the top 10 in the league in six statistical categories, including third in shooting (.519), fourth in steals (1.5), 10^th in assists (3.5), seventh in blocked shots and double-doubles and 12^th in rebounding (5.6). Miller had 13 20-point games on the season, and was a particularly adept second-half performer, averaging 13 points after intermission in league games. Miller had a triple-double in a win over Sacramento State and owns two of the three triple-doubles in school history. He was Big Sky Player of the Week on Jan. 27.
 
Miller becomes just the third Viking to earn Big Sky Most Valuable Player honors (Seamus Boxley, 2024-05; Jeremiah Dominguez, 2007-08).   
 
Henderson, a 6-3 guard from Wichita, KS, was an appropriate running mate to Miller and just as valuable to the Viking team, averaging 17.9 points, 6.0 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.6 steals. He ranked fifth in the league in scoring, second in assists and third in steals. Henderson also led the league in minutes played and became an iron man, at one point playing eight full games in a row without a rest. Henderson was also a Big Sky Player of the Week on Jan. 6. All that said, perhaps most noteworthy about Henderson were his highlight reel dunks that have him on the Watch List for the 2026 State Farm College Slam Dunk Championship at the Final Four.
 
Minott, a 6-10 center from Montreal, is a repeat winner of the Big Sky's Defensive Player of the Year Award. He averaged 10.3 points and led the league in rebounding at 8.9 per game. Minott had 32 blocked shots to rank third in the Big Sky. He also had a league-leading eight double-doubles, a 20-20 game, and shoots a remarkable .665 from the field. Minott set school records for dunks in a season (58) and a career (105).
 
He is the third Viking to be Defensive Player of the Year and the second repeat winner (Seamus Boxley (2003-04 and 2004-05) and Scott Morrison (2007-08).
 
Head Coach Jase Coburn, now in his fifth season leading the Portland State program, is an apt selection by his peers as Coach of the Year. Coburn led the team to its best start in history in league play (7-0), a program record six consecutive road wins, and just the third regular season title in PSU's 30 seasons as a member of the Big Sky. Under his tutelage, Coburn's team has improved over the past four seasons from 6 to 8 to 11 to 13 wins in league play, and from 12 to 17 to 19 and now 19 more wins (so far).
 
Although a fiery sideline leader, Coburn has also been named a finalist for the Skip Prosser Man of the Year Award for not only achieving success on the basketball court but by displaying moral integrity on and off it as well.
 
Coburn is in his 13^th season at Portland State after spending the first eight as an assistant coach and associate head coach. He has a career head coaching record of 81-74.
 
The 2025-26 Vikings were led by their three senior honorees and coach as they captured the Big Sky regular season title (13-5) and completed the regular season at 19-10. Portland State opens Big Sky Tournament play on Sunday in a quarterfinal game in Boise, ID at Idaho Central Arena at 5:30 p.m. MT/4:30 p.m. PT on ESPN+. The Vikings will face the winner of Saturday's Idaho State/Northern Arizona first-round game.
