Guest coachacola Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 On the 25th anniversary of the raping and pillaging of the winningest team in Lamar University history, the NCAA basketball tournament selection committee proved once again it’s a heartless collection of corporate elitists with no conscience when it comes to snuffing out the dreams of deserving mid majors. This time the victim was St. Mary’s of California. The Gaels’ 26-6 record was deemed not good enough, in order to take care of the mediocrity wearing uniforms at Arizona, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Maryland, among others. Also getting ripped off were Creighton, San Diego State and Tulsa. It was the St. Mary’s jobbing, however, that hit home for Southeast Texas basketball fans who recall a 25-4 Lamar team with a 19 RPI relegated to the NIT. http://www.panews.com/sports/local_story_076165819.html?keyword=topstory
