St. Mary's 38-31 at half

St. Mary's leads Villanova 38-31 at halftime at the Dunk. Villanova has no answer for Gaels big man Omar Samhan, who has 15 points. Samhan stopped an 8-0 Villanova run with a three-point play with about a minute to play in the half. Samhan, who had been on the bench with two fouls, came in when a loose ball went out of bounds to the Gaels. He scored, hit his free throw and checked back out.

Solid substitution from SMC coach Randy Bennett.

This team is fun to watch. They play hard, they shoot the ball well, move without the ball, set screens. They're fundamentally sound. Hopefully they can keep this up in the second half and knock off Scott Barrett's predicted national champion.
