Free Play from Doc’s Sports. #712 Take Saint Mary’s over Richmond (Thursday 3 pm CBS) A battle between two mid-majors will take place on Thursday in Providence, Rhode Island. The Gaels put any doubt that they would be in this tournament with an impressive performance in the West Coast Conference Tournament Final beating Gonzaga, 81-62. Richmond also reached the finals of the A-10 Tournament but they played two emotional games over the weekend and I do not believe that they will have much left in the tank for the NCAA Tournament. The Gaels have great balance on offense with five players averaging double figures in scoring. They put up close to eighty points per game and that is 10 points per game more then what Richmond is averaging. Richmond did not shoot it well from long range against Temple and Xavier over the weekend going 8 for 26 on Saturday (31%) and 5 for 19 on Sunday (26%). If Saint Mary’s can extend their defense and challenge shots, I expect them to march into the second round.
