Patty Mills cleared to play in tourney...

Unfortunately, I learned of this news in an article about the Zags, but, that's what happens when you live in WA:

News travels slow up there huh?

Yeah, I guess so. When did everyone else find out?

Officially.... March 4th...

And apparently St. Mary's added another game AFTER the WCC tourney....

What the hey? You can do that?

I guess I've been working too hard to watch my normal regimen of Sportscenter, reading sports pages, and all that recently. Time to step up my game now that the tourney is here!

The rule is something like you can only play 30 reg season games... St Mary's had only played 29. Plus you get an extra one if you travel to Hawaii to play; Eastern had done that already, and they didn't qualify for the Big Sky tourney so they figured why not play another one.

I guess this gets another Senior night?? And an extra game to get Patty in sync (no mattywizz, not *NSYNC) if they make the tourney...

But if they don't it seems like a pretty awkward swan song...

Yeah, that would be a really awkward swan song....potentially not going to the tourney and then playing a meaningless game that actually lowers your RPI even if you win...nothing to win and everything to lose.

Well, I just hope we take care of business first to get there...and then, we'll be treated to the TJ vs. Mills matchup that we were deprived of earlier this season. Sweet!

I do love me some *NSYNC. Chris Kirkpatrick is one talented musician.

I know you do... hence the obviously necessary explanation...
