Chavez, Mathews Lift Saints To Narrow Victory Over Alaska Anchorage - No win comes easy in the GNAC. It takes 40 minutes of grinding and determination to pull one off, and the Saints needed all 40 minutes to do so against Alaska Anchorage. The return of the GNAC Preseason Player of the Year, Luke Chavez, and 18 points from Jared Mathews were exactly what 18th-ranked SMU needed in their 70-68 victory over UAA.
 
Playing in his first game in almost a month, Chavez showcased his skills with a 15-point performance, in only 26 minutes of action. However, his largest points of the game came with only seven seconds left, knocking down two free throws to ice the game. The Saints, who averaged 11.7 3-pointers per game, a GNAC best, only connected on four attempts, but focused their offense down low instead. Mathews scored on eight of his 10 shots, while Tavian Henderson added eight points and five rebounds, to highlight the Saints' 36 points off the bench.
 
Chavez Carries Saints To Overtime Victory Over Alaska – The pressure and responsibility of being the Conference Preseason Player of the Year do not come lightly. With the game on the line, Luke Chavez, stepped up and carried the 18th-ranked Saints to an 87-80 overtime thriller victory over Alaska inside Marcus Pavilion.
 
Chavez, who has battled multiple injuries all season, has yet to be 100 percent on the court. However, despite the struggles, he continues to showcase his elite talent, and unmatched clutch ability. The senior led the Saints with 25 points, including five of the team's eight 3-pointers, and scored 17 points in the second half to force an overtime period against Alaska. In overtime, Chandler Redix sealed the game at the line, going a perfect 8-for-8, as Saint Martin's outscored UAF 15-8 in overtime to clinch their 12th win of the season.
 
Reaching New Heights - After an 8-1 start to the 2018-19 season, the Saints have achieved their highest ranking in program history, reaching 11th in the media, moving up four spots from last week. The Saints moved up from 15 to 11, eclipsing their 13th ranking back in 2009.
 
Luke Chavez Selected To Bevo Francis Top 100 Watchlist - The senior guard has played in 12 games this season, and is second on the team in scoring 12.3 points per game. In 25 minutes of action, Chavez averages 2.6 rebounds per game, 2.8 assists per game, and 1.3 steals per game. Chavez has been efficient on the offensive end of the floor, shooting 45.0 percent from the field, 39.1 percent from beyond the arc, and 88.2 percent at the line. Luke Chavez becomes the first ever Saint to be named to the Watchlist since it was created in 2015.
 
The Saints Are Ranked - Saint Martin's two victories last week against the pair of Alaska schools did not come easily, including an overtime win over Alaska. With the wins, the Saints improved to 12-2 overall, which in turn, boosted their standing in both the D2SIDA poll and NABC poll. The Saints jumped up three spots in the D2SIDA poll to 15, their second-highest ranking of the season. Over in the coaches poll, the Saints bounced back into the top-25, earning the 23rd-ranking. Over in the regional poll, the Saints fell into a tie with UC San Diego for the second spot in the poll, trailing only Point Loma.

Luke Chavez Named GNAC Player of the Week - After leading the nationally-ranked Saints' basketball to two victories, Luke Chavez was named GNAC Players of the Week. The GNAC Preseason Player of the Year, after missing last week due to injuries, returned to the court in style. Chavez started the week off with a 15-point performance against Alaska Anchorage, in 26 minutes of action. He followed it up with a 25-point effort, including 17 in the second half, as the Saints overcame Alaska in overtime. For the week, Chavez averaged 20 points per game, and 4.5 rebounds per game.
 
EJ Boyce Named GNAC Player of the Week - EJ Boyce connected on eight 3-pointers and scored a career-high 28 points as Saint Martin's routed Dixie State 76-59. For his efforts, Boyce was named the GNAC Player of the Week on December 20. Boyce began the game by hitting five 3-pointers in the opening ten minutes to give the Saints a 30-10 lead. The onslaught from the outside continued as Boyce hit two more 3-pointers to close out a 23 point first half performance. He ended the night with 28 points, which broke his career-high and earned him his first GNAC Player of the Week award.
 
Leading The League In Threes – Saint Martin's has focused their offensive game around the 3-pointer all season, and with multiple weapons in the back court who can effectively hit from long range, SMU is once again near the top. For the season, the Saints are shooting 39.3 percent from beyond the arc. Their 10.9 3-pointers made per game, leads the conference, and is the only team in double-figures.
 
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.

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.
