It is Bracketbuster weekend. The Bluejays are a road team in the final season of the event and were selected to go to St. Mary’s to take on the Gaels. This was probably the best game available to them because of the way the teams were split up this season. It will also make for a good game in a couple years when St. Mary’s comes back to Omaha in the return game.
The team escaped the cold weather and snow to make the trip to the west coast. If you aren’t joining them, here are the ways you can catch the Saturday 5:00 p.m. CT tip.
