Day 2 of March: A Hail Mary For Saint Mary's
Not gonna try to sugarcoat it, its been a rough year for the Saint Mary's Gaels with thirty point beatdowns by their biggest rival and recruiting players out of the Twilight movies. But back in 2010, things were a lot better in Moraga. Led by Omar Samhan and a slew of short skinny Australians, the Gaels won the WCC Tournament and stormed into the great town of Providence, Rhode Island to upset the Richmond (Rich-what?) Spiders and the Villanova Wildcats. Most memorably, this was done in front of the legendary Bill Raftery. Down the stretch, the Aussies made some crazy plays including Matthew Dellavedova executing a flawless rendition of Biggie Little before nailing a three with 4 and a half minutes left, Omar Samhan blocking more shots than Stretch (sorry for the excessive NBA Street references) and finally Mickey McConnell's "kiss to be remembered" which nearly caused Bill Raftery to faint. When it was all said and done, the Australian National Team exited the Dunkin' Donuts Center with a 75-68 win, and their first trip to the Sweet Sixteen in over 50 years in the second of El Fuerto's top sixteen March moments. Stay tuned tomorrow for number three.
