That was a strange one to figure.
On the one hand, if I had told you before the game that St. Mary’s was going to beat Cal by 11 points, you would have shrugged and not given it a second thought. Although struggling lately, especially defensively, and coming off of two losses, the Gaels remain an elite offensive club that can compete at the high national level.
On the other hand, if I had told you Marcus Lee was going to go off for a career high 23 points on just 14 shots, that he would foul out All-American candidate Jock Landale, and hold him to 13 points, you might pause for just a second.
