St. Mary's was a poorly run program that had no impact before Randy Bennett took over. He has had many European players that have thrived under his leadership and if it were not for Gonzaga he would be in control of the West Coast Conference. While the 6-5 start looks down from where this program has been the early schedule has been very difficult, but the metrics are much better than the record. The Gaels have played a much tougher schedule than 5-6 Middle Tennessee St. Middle Tennessee has been highly overrated to start the season. The Blue Raiders have three losses as a double-digit favorite already. St. Mary's is one of the most difficult velnues to play in as the fans are right on top of the court and it becomes almost a seismic atmosphere. The Gaels are 250-39 SU at home since 2007. It is pure bedlam for a team not used to playing here. Make the play on St. Mary's.
