Historic Opening Run Leads To Eighth Straight Win for No. 19 Saints - From the first to the final possession, the Saints controlled the game against Simon Fraser, opening the game on a 30-4 run. The 19th-ranked Saints cruised to the 96-76 victory, their eighth consecutive win, and improved to 10-1 overall and 3-0 in GNAC.
 
The game started with the Saints scoring the first 19 points of the game, and after six 3-pointers in the opening nine minutes, SMU's lead maxed out at 30-4. The 3-pointers continued to fall throughout the game for the Saints, as they landed 14 attempts and set a new season-high in scoring.
 
Vikings Snap No. 19 Saints' Win Streak – The 19th-ranked Saints held a lead for a majority of the game against the always difficult Western Washington Vikings. Leading by seven with five minutes, the Vikings were able to storm back and hit two clutch closing 3-pointers to pull off the upset 75-68.
 
Playing once again without the GNAC Preseason Player of the Year Luke Chavez, the Saints were unable to put away the Vikings, despite multiple opportunities. The Vikings fought all game to stay close to the Saints, and knocked down the timely shots at the end of the game to hand Saint Martin's its' first loss since November 12.
 
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 - Following the Saints' convincing win over Simon Fraser on the road, and despite a loss to Western Washington last week, the Saints moved up from 19 to 18 in the most recent D2SIDA National Poll. The Saints improved to 10-2 overall, with a 3-1 record in conference action and received 113 votes, 24 votes ahead of Southern Nazarene and Texas A&M-Commerce, who are tied for 19th. However, in the NABC Coaches Poll, the Saints dropped out of the top-25, but sit just 26th and are only three votes away from being ranked once again. In the regional poll, the Saints received three first-place votes, and moved up to second overall, trailing the new leader Point Loma. UC San Diego, and Chaminade, both suffered losses last week and fell in the regional poll.
 
GNAC's Longest Win Streak – Dating back to their home opener win over Northwest Christian on November 19, the Saints put together an eight game win streak, lasting until January 5th at Western Washington. The streak marks 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.
 
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 40.6 percent from beyond the arc. Their 11.7 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.
 
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.
