St. Mary's/Villanova

[d dub]

as long as Scottie Reynolds keeps shooting jumpers, St. Mary's has a really good chance to win

[lefty]

Glad he made it but what a lucky shot

[Bravesfan]

Oh my lord! What a three by St. Mary's! That got Bill Raftery excited!

"a kiss to be remembered by potentially"

GREAT LINE

[lefty]

ok....they could have called a foul on Samhan on the shot....but didn't

GREAT LINE

That was good!

Now St. Mary's needs to ice this game at the FT line right now.

[Bravesfan]

Not quite over just yet, but still looking good for Cinderella right now!

[lefty]

Great win for St. Mary's

[amckillip]

Its in the books! St. Mary wins!

[Bravesfan]

What a great win for St. Mary's!

Okay Digger, try explaining your way around this one!

Hey -- with Butler-Murray State up next, the first two teams in the Sweet 16 will be mid-majors. Swwweeeeeeeet!

[Da Coach]

Yesssss.. another Big East (Villanova- #2 seed) team bites the dust at the hands of a lowly regarded midmajor (St. Mary's was a ridiculously low 10 seed).

The BCS boys must be arranging secret meetings to try to figure out how to stop this. Watch for them to expand to 96 teams quickly and make all the midmajors eliminate each other before they play the BCS boys.

Gotta root for Butler here, I feel like the have the best chance to win another round. Maybe Gonzaga can pull off an upset so we're guaranteed a mid-major in the Elite 8. I like NM's chances too

Agreed about the seeding this year. Some mid-majors were seeded very low like St. Mary's, but there were even more ridiculously high seeds for the BCS boys. This is where the pundits like Digger are going to look really stupid!

And the only good thing about expansion is it should guarantee at least two to three bids out of the Valley each year.

Or will it?!

Also if Old Dominion beats Baylor, which is very possible, that would guarantee a mid-major in the Elite 8 as they would meet St. Mary's. Not bad at all if this can be done!
