Bracket Projection: Saint Mary's

Last season, the Saint Mary's Gaels were the most obvious snub from the NCAA tournament field. This season, they left no doubt in the committee's minds about their place in the Big Dance. Jock Landale leads a team of skilled and polished upperclassmen who excel both offensively and defensively. The Gaels finished the season 28-4, though they were swept in three games by WCC foe Gonzaga. Will they dominate like they did for most of their schedule, or will tougher competition prove too much for Saint Mary's?

ESPN Insider has your answers, as Joe Lunardi has enlisted a team of bracketologists to compile advanced metrics, key scouting intel and best- and worst-case tournament scenarios for all 68 teams to help you make smart picks in your bracket.
