Boyce Fires Off From Deep As No. 11 Saints Dismantle Dixie State - The 11th ranked Saints did not have an easy task to close out the 2018 year, hosting Dixie State, an NCAA Tournament team from a year ago. However, a blazing hot start by EJ Boyce, including seven first half 3-pointers, and another stellar performance on the defensive end as a team, the Saints handled the Trailblazers to a tune of 76-59.
 
It did not take long for the Saints to establish control of the game, hitting six 3-pointers in the opening ten minutes, and starting the game on a 27-8 run. As a team, the Saints shot nearly 60 percent from beyond the first half, led by Boyce and his 23 points. The second half, the Saints locked down on defense, resulting in a season-high eight blocks, and nearly another season-high in steals with 12 as Saint Martin's cruised to their seventh straight victory 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.
 
The Saints Are Ranked - After coming off a 17-point victory in December over Dixie State, an NCAA Tournament team a year ago, the Saints fell from their highest ranking in school history, 11, to 19 in the most recent media poll. Over in the coach's poll, the Saints continued their climb, rising from 23 to 21. In the regional poll, the Saints fell to third as Chaminade improved to 10-0 on the season, including a win over UC San Diego, and leaped up to the number on spot.
 
GNAC's Longest Active Win Streak – Dating back to their home opener win over Northwest Christian on November 19, the Saints are currently on a seven game winning streak. The streak marks the longest active streak and the longest of the season in the GNAC.
 
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.
 
From A Weakness To A Strength – Last season, the Saints were one of the lowest in free throw percentages in the GNAC. Fast forward to this season, and SMU ranks sixth in the GNAC with a 71.9 percentage, including their 19 made free throws in the final minutes to hold off Northwest Nazarene on December 1.
 
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 40.8 percent from beyond the arc.
 
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.
