    I’m gonna venture a guess that Patty Mills is healthy again.

    St. Mary’s with a healthy Patty Mills is a Sweet 16-caliber team. Dick Vitale is 100% correct with his vigorous defense of St. Marys and criticism of the selection committee for taking some other teams over St. Marys.

    I dunno James. St. Mary’s didn’t look so hot at the Arena at the Orleans where Gonzaga destroyed them. They get a post season invite when their cheerleaders and dance team, all 5000 of them, have much better moves, ambition, and determination? I gotta go with the committee on this one. St. Mary’s may have learned something that the Zags have to learn time and again: you’re only as good as your last game.
