Sure seems like the message that the NCAA sent St. Mary’s today.
First, they leave them waiting at the alter of the Big Dance. Then, they stick them with a game against a WSU team that would have been dangerous in the NCAA’s. For them, the match-up is a big stinkin “Yuck.”
As Vince and company already have posted, the Gaels lost ONE game at home this year–to the Zags by two.
So, they’re tough.
That said, when bubble teams have their bubble’s burst on Selection Sunday, their motivation to move on often goes with it–and they often TANK first round NIT games.
However, St. Mary’s matches up VERY well with us (and vice versa) so it should be a heck of a game.
That said, if we advance, does South Carolina or San Diego State scare you?
They sure don’t scare me.
Simply put: win on Tuesday and I think we’re heading to New York.
Lets go get em.
