St. Mary's believes, correctly or not, and I suspect correctly, that they are in no matter what happens tonight v. Gonzaga. <BR/><BR/>Patty Mills has been out for a number of weeks, and it is tough to integrate the team again during games that are highly important. St. Mary's desperately needed to win last night and they sure will try to keep things under their own control tonight. <BR/><BR/>I think the idea of the Eastern Washington game was really more of a pre-season for the tournament -- a chance to experiment with a few things and to get Mills yet one more game, lower pressure, to get into "game shape". It was also scheduled before the Portland game and so nobody really knew for sure what to expect from Mills. I think that he put the doubts to rest last night, and so this E. Washington game is probably now superfluous, but I think it was scheduled as a chance to get Mills back up to speed both with the game and his team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-79330222596715569142009-03-09T13:20:00.000-05:002009-03-09T13:20:00.000-05:00Whoops!

St Mary's was 18-1 before Mills got hurt, and they were well on their way to beating Gonzaga in the game he went down. The only slight problem with the argument is that OU lost to Texas and Kansas without Griffin, while St. Mary's lost to Portland and Santa Clara. When you're a mid-major like St. Mary's, conference losses hurt you a lot more, especially when they come against sub-.500 teams. It may not be fair, but it's reality.Bracketology 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/01277396896660963269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-38708382736897236492009-03-09T11:00:00.000-05:002009-03-09T11:00:00.000-05:00Eastern Washington is a D1 team out of the Big Sky...Eastern Washington is a D1 team out of the Big Sky. Obviously a loss in the game would be devastating, but if they go out and play well and win big it can't hurt. The game likely won't hurt their RPI since it is on the road and maybe they won't get forgotten about as much during all the conference tournies.Bracketology 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/01277396896660963269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-57484109720049180202009-03-09T10:44:00.000-05:002009-03-09T10:44:00.000-05:00Two things.

What can a win against a non D1 team realistically do for their profile?<BR/><BR/>Second, it would be a real shame if OU was given a break for Griffin missing two games and getting a one seed, and Saint Mary's wasn't given the same benefit of the doubt. Especially when there's a much bigger difference between making and not making, and a 1 vs a 2 seed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
