The Brothers McNally

Xander and Oliver McNally, Branson School graduates, were on the same wavelength on Saturday despite being on different coasts. The following is from Dave Albee, Associate Director of Public Relations at Dominican University:

  * On Saturday night, Xander McNally, in the final game of his Dominican career, had five steals for the Penguins in a upset win at California Baptist, allowing Xander (104 steals in 26 games) to top the nation and NCAA Division II men's basketball in that category this season. The Penguins, picked to finish last in the 10-team Pacific West Conference under first-year head coach Booker T. Harris (a member of the USF Dons' last NCAA tournament team), finished fourth and was the only team to defeat PacWest champion Dixie State in league play.

* On Saturday, Xander's brother Oliver scored 17 points and sank four clutch free throws at the end to help Harvard win a share of the Ivy League title. If Princeton defeats Penn on Tuesday night, Harvard will win the Ivy League title outright and earn its first berth in the NCAA Division II tournament since 1946.
