Game Summary:
St. Mary’s could of put this game away earlier but none of them could hit free throws. They have a solid three in #1) Collins, #22) Burks and #44) Rasas. They will be tough one to beat.
SLUH has a good one in McKissic . They couldn’t defense the athletes of St. Mary’s. SLUH is missing Brent Smith but I’m not a big fan but would make them better inside.
