Saint Mary’s Gaels Game Plan
As we just mentioned, the Gaels have some real size in the middle of the roster, with players that stand 7-foot-4, 6-foot-10, and 6-foot-8 on the roster. While the Ducks also have some big men, they’ve been slower to come along this season due to injuries. If Saint Mary’s can establish a presence down low, Oregon’s post-defense has shown that it can be penetrated so far this year.
Outside of that, though, it’s all about forcing tough shots for Saint Mary’s. With a team that is as streaky shooting the ball as the Ducks, you want to do anything you can to force them into bad looks and make sure not to give them second chance points, especially in the paint.
