Game Preview
If defense truly does win championships, Saint Mary’s is doing all it can to make a case to be in the national title conversation.
The fifth-seeded Gaels put together a stunning defensive performance in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. They will look to bring the same intensity Sunday when they face fourth-seeded UConn at Albany, N.Y., in a second-round matchup in the West Region.
Saint Mary’s (27-7) locked up VCU on Friday, forcing 14 turnovers while holding the Rams to 36.7 percent shooting from the field in a 63-51 victory. The Gaels were even more in tune defensively following halftime, as VCU canned just 6 of 27 (22.2 percent) shots in the second half.
