So is St Mary's really playing at home against Eastern Washington to impress the committee? Whose idea was that? Go on the road and you have a chance of catching their attention.

Oh my god, overtime.

That's a complete crock. I go to lots of Big Sky games and Eastern Washington was terrible. You have to finish top 6 out of 9 teams to qualify for the conference tourney and they couldn't even do that. Over 300 division 1 teams could win a home game against Eastern Washington. A home win against them should impress exactly noone.

Yeah, if Mills were a senior and they wanted one last home game then I'd get it but that wasn't the case. If you want to impress the committee then go visit some crappy Big Sky team on the road and blow them out instead of hosting them.
