Saint Mary's

Madness Journey Brought to

an End


by Dave Newhouse



March Madness has done it again, dominating all forms of athletic competition when it comes to the unexpected and unbelievable — mania on the Maplewood.


The NCAA men’s basketball tournament is different from other postseason sports. The World Series, Super Bowl and Stanley Cup are known by those very names, but who refers to the NCAA men’s basketball tournament that way? Nobody. It’s March Madness, pure and simple.


And its latest hoops happening has delivered, predictably, beyond expectations, which is now expected. Right at the tournament's start. a No. 2 seed fell to a No. 15 seed, Princeton stunning Arizona, 59-55, yet another huge blow to the Pacific-12 Conference’s reeling basketball image.


Virginia is so unpredictable, becoming the first No. 1 seed ever to lose to a 16th seed, the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), 74-54, in 2018. The Cavaliers then won the NCAA title in 2019, but lost as a fourth seed to No. 13 Furman, 68-67, in a first-round game last Thursday.


The very next day, No. 16 Fairleigh Dickinson became only the second team to beat a No. 1 seed, shocking Purdue, 63-58, knocking the world of college basketball off its orbit all over again.


Thus it was a sigh of relief on the West Coast when No. 2 seed UCLA won twice — 86-53 over UNC Asheville, 68-63 over Northwestern -- to move into the Sweet Sixteen. And No. 3 Gonzaga and No. 5 Saint Mary’s both won opening-round games, the Gaels dominating No. 12 Virginia Commonwealth, 63-51, and the Zags beating Grand Canyon, 82-70.


That meant the Moraga group would face No. 4 Connecticut, a team taller and deeper in talent than coach Randy Bennett’s scrappy, clever, mistake-free Gaels, who found themselves, typically, as a March Madness underdog.


Saint Mary’s point guard is standout freshman, Aiden Mahaney, a first-team All-West Coast Conference selection. However, against VCU, he missed all five of his field goal attempts and spent much of the game on the bench. Could Mahaney regain his court leadership against savvy, defense-hounding Connecticut? For Saint Mary’s needed all parts functioning to stand a chance of defeating the favored Huskies.


Well, Mahaney then hit his first field-goal attempt and the unflustered Gaels jumped out to a 17-9 lead with precision shooting and rebounding dominance. But Mahaney then missed a pair of free throws and took a seat on the bench as the Huskies crept closer, taking advantage of Saint Mary’s misses by the basket.


Then a huge blow for Saint Mary’s — forward Alex Ducas, another Australian recruited by Bennett, suddenly collapsed on the court and was helped to the dressing room, holding his back. The Gaels hung tough and Mahaney’s subsequent 3-pointer was a good sign, though UConn led, 31-30, at halftime.


The deadly outside-shooting Ducas didn’t return for the second half, so how would the undermanned Gaels respond? Not well as the Huskies started to pull away. Then Gaels center Mitchell Saxen, a hero against VCU, picked up his fourth foul with 13 minutes left in the game and had to sit for precious minutes. At that point, it wasn’t a question of the undermanned Gaels losing, but by how much. Connecticut pulled away for a 70-55 victory, dominating at the rim, a clear difference between the two teams.


Saint Mary’s will be back, because Bennett won’t settle for anything less. Mahaney will become an even bigger force next season, but he will need more depth surrounding him to compete against the UConns of the world.


The West Coast, which saw the March Madness eliminations of Arizona, Arizona State, USC and UC Santa Barbara, still will have three schools in the Sweet Sixteen: San Diego State, UCLA and Gonzaga, which eliminated TCU, 84-81, Sunday. UCLA and Gonzaga will play each other Thursday in what could be the game of the tournament.

Hardly Trivial by T. Buff

Technical fouls are on my mind


Last week Draymond Green was suspended for one game for drawing his 16th technical foul of the 2022-2023

season. The suspension is far from his first and far from one of the most important of his previous suspensions.


Green is the only person in NBA history to probably cost his team an NBA championship because of a technical. After he hit LeBron James in the groin in Game 4 of the 2016 NBA Finals, Green was suspended for Game 5

and the Warriors became the first team to blow a

3-1 series lead in the Finals.


Chances are, even if Green plays another 10 seasons he will not surpass the player who holds the career record for technical fouls. 


Who holds the record for most technical fouls

in an NBA career? 



The resource for the answer wrote, "These are the players who racked up the most technical fouls in NBA history. No. 1 might surprise you." It did surprise me. 

(Hint: Charles Barkley is second, only three technicals short of the record.)

Dubs' Report

Nothing Like a Good Snarl

to Win the Game


by Howard Pearlstein


My last column was written before the Bucks game, something to know because that game seemed ok until it looked like the Dubs were doing their Fourth Quarter Fade Away.

 

And then…

 

And then Steph came back in off the bench with something I’d never seen before -- a genuine snarl on his face. Not a half-assed Elvis lip wriggle but a full tilt "You motherf---rs will be sorry you woke up the beast” snarl.

 

I knew the Dubs wouldn’t fade away in this game.

 

And I KNEW at that moment that there’s maybe a chance they can win their way into the playoffs at home and on the road. And after the game Steph even said it to answer the ‘great game” kudos: "Yeah, we just have to do it on the road too."

 

I’m not making a prediction, just saying that scary snarl was making a promise.

 

While we’re on the subject – the problem with end-of-season games and getting into the playoffs is that the network announcers show up – they’re good, but they’re from out of town, picking it up for each game, learning what they can from stats and too often forgetting the game almost completely and veering off into non-game locker-room towel-snapping stories about ‘What YOU did back then…” and that’s just not good enough.

 

In other words, they’re not Fitz and Buike, who know the people who play and know what’s been going on game-by-game and week-by-week and the difference between the person and the position.

 

Announcers use the terms they know, and I mentioned to a friend how one referred to new players as new toys. The friend said it was dehumanizing. Others refer to players as tools, or weapons. Or a Swiss Army Knife, as if that player was more or less a variable function machine.


And the fact is, at least with the Dubs, we can’t even describe the players by their positions, because that also misses the point. None of the Dubs are their positions for all they’re listed that way -- - point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward, center. Those labels miss the fact like the difference between someone asking about your work as “What are you?” instead of “What do you do?” No – the Dubs positions are Steph, Klay, Draymond, Poole, Andre, Kuminga, JaMychal, Anthony Lamb, et al.


SO – when Steph Curry comes off the bench with a genuine snarl on his face, we believe! We know he will score and by the time the game’s over, no one on the other team’s defense will be smiling. Or their offense, either as he moves them off their normal angles for shots, gets rebounds and keeps playing his game.

 

That snarl is scary.

 

I kept trying to find a simile for it, but finally, the only thing I could think of that carries that much intensity is being at a zoo, in a lion house in winter when all the doors and windows are closed and the big male decides to let loose with a full throated roar that rocks the building and hits your body with a physical impact that knocks you back a foot or two.

 

And made me think of that old joke about how someone tells you that you can’t outrun a lion and your answer is: “I don’t have to outrun a lion – I only have to outrun you.” 

 

That snarl is a scary thing.

Howard Pearlstein has been a few places and done a few things.

An old friend once said, "Howard, you live your life like you're trying to fill in a dust jacket blurb." Well, then all I have to do is write a book that will get published.

Earthquakes 0, St. Louis City SC 3

San Jose has two-match winning streak snapped, will host Toronto FC next Saturday


ST. LOUIS, Mo. – The San Jose Earthquakes fell to St. Louis City SC 3-0 on Saturday evening at CITYPARK in St. Louis, Mo. It marked the first-ever match between the two teams and snapped San Jose’s winning streak at two.


San Jose entered the match without midfielder Jamiro Monteiro due to a red-card suspension, and lost another central midfielder when Carlos Gruezo exited the match with an injury in the 29th minute. St. Louis capitalized just five minutes later on a goal by Nicholas Gioacchini and added a second in first-half stoppage time.


After making two additional subs at halftime, the Quakes created a few dangerous chances at the start of the second half but couldn’t capitalize. St. Louis solidified their victory with a third goal in the 68th minute.

More than a cookbook, this culinary delight was written to preserve a great chef's traditional family recipes and stories of her childhood for her far-flung grandchildren. Author Leonie Samuel-Hool recounts stories of a vanished society and legends of the gods and goddesses that protect and sometimes make mischief in Indonesian homes, fields and foods. The recipes are explicitly presented.

The absolute greatest Yankees were the 1949-1953 pinstripers, winners of an unprecedented five consecutive World Series. "The Yankee Way," Hall of Fame manager Tony La Russa writes in the book's foreword, is "full of Yankee winning keys, star-studded competition, and insights about one of baseball's historically fascinating periods." By Charlie Silvera with Dave Newhouse (Author).

Many people -- maybe even you -- have been getting out on their bikes more during Shelter-in-Place. "Check for Bikes" clings and bumper stickers are great ways to keep bicyclists safer out there on the road by promoting awareness by drivers to share the road. Keep safe out there and keep your neighbors safe by using or passing along vinyl clings for inside a car window or windshield and 4" circular bumper stickers. We have Youth and Spanish versions, too!
