Saints Dominate In Team Effort Win Over Fresno Pacific - All preseason long, the Saints were talked about as one of the best teams in the West Region, and all the talk looked true in their season opener. The Saints found their offensive flow halfway through the first half, and cruised to a 86-61 win.
 
Only one Saint (1-0) played more than 25 minutes on the court, Rhett Baerlocher, and the wealth was spread out on the offensive end. Two Saints reached the double-digit mark, Baerlocher and Tavian Henderson,, but nine Saints scored five or more points in a total team effort. SMU overpowered Fresno Pacific (0-1) down low to a tune of 50-34 in points in the paint, and bench production, 45-24, as 13 Saints saw action in the game.
 
Saints Win In Dramatic Comeback Fashion Over Point Loma - It was a tale of two halves, with Point Loma dominating in the first half, and holding a 19-point lead at the start of the second half. The Saints' offense found their spark and rattled off 53 points in the second half to pull off one of the most dramatic comebacks in school history, and knocked off Point Loma, 81-76, on the road.
 
Point Loma (1-1) led by their Western Washington transfer Daulton Hommes, and his 37 points, 25 of which came in the first half along, looked to have the game nearly put away. The Sea Lions led by as many as 19 in the second half, before the Saints (2-0) began connecting from long distance, seven 3-pointers, and shot 51.3/58.3/83.3 to fuel the comeback. The Saints finally took the lead with only 2:41 left, on a 3-pointer by Rhett Baerlocher. Leading 71-70, the Saints came up with clutch baskets by Luke Chavez, Chandler Redix, and Tavian Henderson, who had the game-clinching dunk with five seconds on the clock.
 
UC San Diego Stumps Saints In Road Loss - Playing in their third game in five days on the road, the Saints ran into a buzz saw in the name of UC San Diego. The nationally ranked Tritons' offense hit on all cylinders, with 18 3-pointers and shot nearly 70 percent as a team to beat Saint Martin's 96-69.
 
Coming off a dramatic 19-point comeback win over Point Loma, the Saints (2-1) looked to end their run of California with a sweep, but #24 UC San Diego (3-0) had other ideas. The Tritons limited the Saints to only 25 field goals in the game, and behind a 35-point performance from Christian Oshita, finished off SMU with a strong end to the first half, which carried over to the second half.
 
The Saints Are Ranked - For the first time since 2009, the Saints are nationally ranked in men's basketball. After traveling to San Diego for three games, and coming back with two wins, the Saints jumped up to the #22 spot in the first D2SIDA poll.
 
Laundry List Of Awards – Luke Chavez was named to the D2CCA All-West Region, and NABC West Region team, along with the GNAC Newcomer of the Year, first team All-conference and was a three time GNAC Player of the Week last year. He was voted the 2018 GNAC Preseason Player of the Year to begin the 2018-19 campaign.
 
Saints Ranked In Two Preseason Polls - After coming off a 25-8 season, and reaching the NCAA Tournament, and advancing to the Round of 32, the Saints have caught attention of the national stage. Saint Martin's received 32 votes in the National Association of Basketball Coaches' (NABC) Preseason Poll, and 27 votes in the Division II Sports Information Directors Association (D2SIDA) Preseason Poll.
 
Setting Records – The Saints' 25 wins last year was most ever in the NCAA-era in program history... and the first time since the 1982-83 season (28).
 
Boyce All-Conference – EJ Boyce was named honorable mention All-Conference last year after averaging over 11 points per game and shot almost 44% from beyond the arc.
 
Playing In The Spotlight – The Saints played in the first ever nationally televised game in school history. The GNAC Championship game was broadcast on ESPN 3. Their second nationally televised game came against BYU on the BYU.tv network.
 
Pack The Pavilion – Over 10,000 people attended SMU Basketball games last season... One of only four programs in the GNAC to reach the 10,000 mark.
 
Championship Time – The Saints reached their first ever GNAC Championship game in school history after Luke Chavez hit the buzzer beater over Western Washington in the semifinals.
 
Saints Go Dancing – SMU went to the big dance for the first time in program history... being selected as an at-large bid in the West region.
 
Advancing In The Tournament – Another first in school history, the Saints defeated Cal Poly Pomona, 66-58, to advance to the Round of 32.
 
Bring On The D-I's – Over the course of the last four seasons, the Saints have faced some of the premier D-I basketball programs to begin the years. During that stretch, SMU has traveled to Gonzaga, Washington, Washington State, and most recently BYU.
 
Positional Preview (Guards) – The Saints return one of the best backcourts not only in the GNAC, but in the West Region, headlined by All-Region selection Luke Chavez. With two transfer guards starting last season, along with seasoned veteran Rhett Baerlocher, there was a lot of optimism, but also a lot of question marks. Chavez and EJ Boyce quickly erased any questions and established themselves as one of the top backcourts in the NCAA West. This season, there are no question marks or uncertainties. The Saints look to rely on the sharp shooting and quickness of their guards in order to return to the NCAA Tournament.
 
Positional Preview (Forwards) – The Saints lone loss from last year's squad was center Matt Dahlen; however, head coach Alex Pribble, returns two seniors, Jordan Kitchen and Jared Mathews, along with sophomore Tavian Henderson, and adds transfer center Marky Adams to the mix. Dahlen provided leadership and improved his offensive game as the season went on, and will be difficult to replace in the lineup. With the likes of Kitchen, a four year starter, and Mathews and Henderson being an integral part to the team last year, the Saints looked poised to step up and produce one of the most efficient front courts in the region.
