Saint Mary’s hadn’t allowed so many points to anyone other than Gonzaga in more than seven years.And then there’s this — the penalty for losing Monday night could be postseason banishment to Detroit.At least that’s what ESPN’s Joe Lunardi suggested Tuesday.

RUSHHEAD666 Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 I happen to live a couple minutes from Gaels territory and I might as well consider it an option for college. Go Gaels! Ben! I loved my 2.5 years there at St. Mary's. I was a transfer student. Majored in English.You are so close so that is a total bonus for you!! You must go!I lived in Walnut Creek back then. I even met my beautiful wife back then at St. Mary's and Safeway too. We both worked there.Sadly our marriage is over but it was a good 20 year run.Lot's of great things happen there! It's a beautiful campus and the professors are awesome!!!! Hope you go there. I love my GAELS!!! I'm a Gael until I die! Cheers!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Not that we should bring the NCAA into the 21st century or anything, but the Gaels have a higher kenpom rating than every 8,9,10, or 11 seed (the bottom of the at large teams), but all but 1 7 seed as well. The Gaels not only shouldn't have been on the bubble, but they would have been in the upper half of the at large teams had they made it. What a cluster!

laughedatbytime Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Pretty close game but the overtime belonged to those who they call "problem children and who spend their lives on trial. To the Gaels, at that point, the writing must have been on the wall, knowing that their opponents would stand and not fall, because what's a five minute OT when you've already walked an endless mile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
