I'm not sure if it's a story in Perth but it's big and getting bigger here.
2 weeks ago very few people ever heard of St. Mary's. Today most of the country is cheering for them to win 4 more games. St. Mary's is a small school lead by 3 Aussie starters and 2 others on the bench that has made it to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA National Championship tournament. Tonight they take on the Baylor Bears as they attemt to make it to the Elite 8. Other than the Super Bowl March Madness is the most followed sporting event here in the states. If St. Mary's can win 2 more games this weekend and make it to the Final 4 Ben Allen, Matthew Dellavedova and Clint Steindl will be as popular as any professional athlete.
Best of luck to the Gaels!!!
