00:03 Last night, St. Mary's on the road down in Malibu, California to take on Pepperdine.
00:08 14.5 point favorite, and St. Mary's covers that number, winning by 26, 83-57.
00:15 St. Mary's now DRS, 16 consecutive wins, a perfect 15-0 in WCC play.
00:22 They clinched the conference championship last night in the regular season with a victory over the Waves.
00:28 Yeah, and they're really good here, and I'm interested to see them also in March Madness,
00:31 but let's get something out of the way as well.
00:33 Usually when we're betting, Ben, let's just even equate the NFL, whatever sport you want here,
00:38 hey, look, St. Mary's clinched the regular season, so that last game really doesn't mean anything.
00:44 Absolute nonsense.
00:46 You don't think St. Mary's could care less about saying we're 15-0 and we've already beat them one time here.
00:52 Not a big deal if we lose, because that would be a season series split, and also at the same time,
00:56 hey, look, we're still won this, we're the number one seed in the WCC.
00:59 Absolutely not.
01:00 They will be out for blood Saturday going up against Gonzaga here.
01:04 Just want to drive that point home that says we're perfect in the regular season, we beat you twice,
01:09 and you know what?
01:10 In the WCC tournament, we hope to beat you a third time here at this point here.
01:14 I can't wait to watch that game play out, but again, from the handicapping perspective,
01:18 one team's wrapped it up, the other one's still trying to get into the tournament.
01:20 Nonsense tomorrow.
01:22 It's going to be a great basketball game that St. Mary's will be going full gas to knock Gonzaga down again.
