GameNight: Oregon vs Saint Mary's
Editor's Early Preview (12/15):
Oregon's best hope is to sneak into the Bubble, and a win over a solid Saint Mary's squad could be a major boost to their resume. The Gaels are led by Olympian Patrick Mills, but have better overall talent then you realize. A loss by the Ducks here will just push Ernie Kent a step closer to the chopping block.

In a potential bracketbuster, St. Mary's (3-0) takes on UTEP (2-1). While this is a pre-season tournament game, it is played in Anaheim, which should give the Gaels a distinct home court advantage. Both of these teams have been impressive so far. Although St. Mary's has yet to play an opponent of UTEP's caliber, no one has even come close to knocking them off. They are led by Patrick Mills. Mills, the only college player to represent his country in Beijing, is one of the best point guards in the nation.
