Taking the Golden Bears from California -11.5 to get some revenge in a big way. They look like the sole Pac Ten team dancing this year.

St Mary's got left out last year and are on the bubble again(not sure why as they would be favored against many potential 6, 7 and 8 seeds....Final two home games for their Seniors and will lay the National debt. St Mary's -21

I am not a big fan of double digit favorites, but got away with two tonight.

Folks, I just love this St Mary's team and they are on the bubble. Look for them to go all out Saturday in their regular season and Home final. Since they are on the bubble and got robbed last year, look for them to win with style points.

Eh, I don't know how "robbed" St. Mary's got last year. The fact that Gonzaga really hasn't done anything in the tournament in years isn't helping out the Gaels' cause any. Let's face it... the wins they're coming up with in the WCC are all really weak and meaningless. They didn't play a great non-conference schedule either. If I was the one filling out the bracket, I'd be leaving St. Mary's out right now, and unless they win the WCC, I'd probably leave them that way.

There wins over Utah State, San Diego State combined with their 2 point loss to Vanderbilt shows they belong. Last year they were left out because of a late season injury to Paddy Mills.

Looking at power ratings St Mary's would be favored against most any team 6 seed or higher that will be in the tournament. You are right, they may be left out. Their loan bad loss was to USC(who had one good week all year).
