Mark Few, whose Gonzaga team beat the Gaels Tuesday night, has no doubt SMC’s lockdown defense will present a unique challenge to NCAA opponents.
Within 30 minutes of his team’s worst performance in two years, Saint Mary’s coach Randy Bennett was moving forward to something he hasn’t always been able to do.
ESPN bracketologist Joe Lunardi’s updated NCAA projections have the Gaels as a No. 6 seed — down just one spot after the lopsided defeat. “We didn’t play well and they did,” Bennett said. “We played 32 games and we played pretty well in 32 of them. In this one we were awful. They played well, we didn’t show up.
“It’s not something we pictured coming into this game. We had a lot of confidence in our body of work coming into this. So yeah, it’s very disappointing,” he said. “We’ve got a couple days to get our minds right and remind ourselves who we are. It’s going to hurt for a little while but I think it’s important to get back to the drawing board.”
