Behind the terrific inside-outside duo of Omar Samhan and Mickey McConnell, St.Mary's has become the first to punch their ticket to a Regional Semifinals with a 75-68 win over a Villanova team who never should have been a #2.

The game signified Scottie Reynolds massive struggles in the tail end of his great Wildcat career, as the Gals will now await for the winner of Baylor/Old Dominion in Houston on Thursday.

It's amazing how things can change so fast in sports, especially in college basketball. Last year, St. Mary's was probably watching Reynolds lead Jay Wright's club to the Final Four, as the Gals were on the direct outside looking in for the 2009 tournament.

Now they have sent the Wildcats home, hoping to at least reached the road that their dispatched opponents did just a little under 12 months ago.
