Still waiting on that return phone call from Saint Mary's coach Randy Bennett, so we'll give you some links of note. With a big game (GU-SMC on Thursday), comes more coverage.

Here's John Blanchette's column, the Seattle Times discussing Austin Daye's future, the San Jose Mercury News putting the Gaels squarely on the NCAA bubble (even with an 18-1 record and No. 22 ranking) and Mercury News columnist Gary Peterson on the talkative Samhan. Also, the Province newspaper in Vancouver, B.C., spoke with Kelly Olynyk, who committed to Gonzaga earlier this week.

With or without Bennett quotes, I'll post the Gonzaga-Saint Mary's preview later today.
