Gotta give props tonight to the Omar Samhan and the rest of his Moraga Madmen. St. Mary's needed to play well against Gonzaga tonight to sew up a berth into the NCAA tournament. They did better than that as they dominate the 2nd half and blew out the 14th ranked Zags, 81-62. Gonzaga has long ruled the West Coast Conference, winning 9 of the last 12 WCC tournaments and nine in a row to the Zags.
It is great to see that all of the hard work Randy Bennett has put in, is paying off. Especially after last years near NCAA miss due to Patty Mills injured wrist.
Enjoy it St. Mary's fans, you definitely deserve it. And while you will get to bask in this victory through the selection show on Sunday, one word of warning. This win will shine an even larger spotlight, not only on the program, but the man running the show.
Bigger schools will come calling, possibly a Pac-10 university about 8 hours north on I-5. Bennett has turned down other offers in the past, but will he if Phil Knight, "makes him an offer he couldn't refuse?"
