The Bruins were fortunate to get past the Zips to begin with and now have to deal with a St Marys team that is more than capable of shutting opposing teams down with regularity. The Gaels crushed Indiana as they played their typical efficient offensive attack and made life miserable for the Hoosiers on the other end of the floor. Saint Mary’s won’t be intimidated by the Bruins or the stage: after all, they beat #1 Gonzaga last month. The Gaels deserved the 5 seed they were awarded and their methodical, yet effective offense, plus solid defense, gives them the upper hand here and I like them to win outright, but we'll take the +3 pts on Saturday night!
