2025 Tournament PreviewSaint Mary's lost the WCC tournament final to Gonzaga but had already ensured itself an NCAA Tournament bid with four Quad 1 wins, including two against the Zags, a 6-2 Quad 2 record and no bad losses. While senior point guard Augustas Marciulionis (14.3 ppg, 6.1 apg) leads the attack, the team's strength lies down low in 6-8 sophomore Paulius Murauskas (12.5 ppg, 8.0 rpg) and 6-10 senior Mitchell Saxen (10.6 ppg, 7.9 rpg). The pair combined for 22 double-doubles, helping the Gaels rank second nationally in offensive rebounding rate, top 25 in block rate and top 15 in opponent two-point shooting. Saint Mary's slows the pace (sixth slowest, per KenPom), which keeps games close and helps the defense rank ninth in KenPom's efficiency metric. This could be the Gaels' best shot at advancing to the second weekend since they did so in 2010.
