VIDEO. Watch youtube video of the Larry Pearson crash at Bristol. Larry Pearson’s crash injury update says Pearson suffered a lower left ankle compound fracture, right hand fracture, and pelvis fracture all of which will undergo surgery tonight.

Initial concerns were that Pearson’s condition could be worse. The event was not a NASCAR sanctioned event. Pearson went unconscious from the crash but regained consciousness en route to a local medical facility.

Should Bristol run this race ever again? Reaction tonight includes the following:

“Should? have used either the newer COT’s or Nationwide cars, he could have walked away from that in those“

“They are using usar pro? cup cars which is not affileated with NASCAR. It is in no way associated with NASCAR“

“After that crash, I wouldn’t blame them for not running this race next year. Glad? he’s okay…“

“Good thing these USAR cars are safe enough to avoid death in this kind of crash. These guys should? have been wearing HANS’s at least. This will teach them to wear some. Honestly, i think if they had run a Cup car, it wouldn’t have made much of a difference.“

“Alot of these guys were wearing open faced helmets and no Hans devices.“

Northern Iowa took out number 1 seed Kansas to get its first top 16 appearance in school history. Northern Iowa coach Ben Jacobson said tonight the following:

“This team has done such a great job of turning the page to what’s next, and this would be the biggest challenge of the year. A lot of positive things have happened because of the way these guys played.:

As covered all day long on LALATE, the big NCAA star for Sunday’s action was Omar Samhan of St Mary’s. Just days ago the St Mary’s player blogged the following:

“So proud of this team and no matter what happens they will be remembered for their accomplishments. However that doesnt mean I’ am still not betting on them all the way to the Sweet Sixteen. Omar and Ben lead your team and leave it all out there because wherever the future leads you two it will never be like this again. Blessings to all of the players and staff. Gaels forever!!!!!!!”

“This years St Mary’s team has the tools to do something special. They already did something that no other St Mary’s team had done in thirteen years! They also got to relax on Sunday and see where they would be traveling first class. I never thought i would feel so much school pride and emotions while watching the Gaels this year. I love those guys! Seeing what Omar, Ben, Mickey, Delle, Clint, Jordy and all the others have accomplished this year is amazing! Watching them humiliate the Zags and staying up all night skyping with todd from Spain to Israel with tears in my eyes was the best time i have had while living abroad. “

One of the big stars today is St Mary’s, Samhan. Samhan recently blogged the following:

“It is now March 1 for most people its just another day but for someone like me, it starts life on the Bubble. For the next 2 weeks I will be waiting to hear if Saint Mary’s is In or OUT or the NCAA tournament. What makes it worse is it’s all that anyone will talk about. ESPN will bring it up every night on SportCenter, all your friends and family will ask you “are you IN or OUT?”

“ Then there are the millions of Blogs, websites and Bracketology With Joe Lunardi. They all tell you “you IN” or “your OUT”. The truth is that NO one nows. so you run around listening to all this “hype” about IN or OUT when all you need to worry about is playing and winning. So to all the Gael fans don’t worry about it just cheer as loud as you can when we are in Vegas and to all my teammates…. just play don’t read Crap about us being IN or OUT !!!“

The Gaels of Saint Mary’s College have defeated Villanova. St Mary’s University, a college in Nor Cal, has delivered the big stunner in NCAA action today with a major win against Villanova.

Final score was 75-68 with SMC defeating number 2 ranked VILL.

Top scorers for St Mary’s were Samhan with 32 points, Allen with 8 rebounds, McConnell with 3 assists and 1 steal, and Samhan with 2 blocks. Villanova was lead by Stokes with 15 points, Cheek with 7 rebounds, Wayns with 3 assists and Redding with 2 steals and blocks

Recently in March, Samhan recently blogged the following:

“Today was a good day for the Gaels. The bubble is popping for a lot of teams and that helps us big time. Tennessee 75 beat Miss. St 59 helps also Connecticut lost to South Florida and UAB lost to UTEP. Utah State won again, as did SDSU. These were all good for us from a NCAA tournament stand point. No more about them its about us. We landed and went to the hotel where we relaxed for a few hours. Then we had practice at 4 today. I was mad because I wanted to practice at the Orleans Arena where we will be playing but instead we went to Cox’s with is UNLV’s women’s gym.

“We will get a chance in the morning to warm up a little on the hoops at the Orleans Arena. We don’t know who we play yet but I’m guessing we will play Portland. It will be a good game and I am excited to see what happens between LMU and Gonzaga might be a better game than many people think. I’m cant wait for tomorrow!”
