No. 13 Saints Claw Out Victory Over Western Washington - In what was a revenge match for the Saints, the second installment played out almost identical to the first one, but this time, the Saints rallied from behind. With only two minutes left to go, EJ Boyce connected on a rare 3-pointer for SMU, and Luke Chavez iced the game at the free throw line, hitting all six attempts in the Saints' 57-53 victory.
 
To stay atop the conference standings, the Saints needed to pull out all the stops to knock off Western Washington, the lone team who beat SMU in the first round of GNAC play. Western Washington held a 53-48 lead with 2:15 left to go; however, the Saints turned to their All-Conference guards in the waning possessions. After an offensive rebound by Rhett Baerlocher, he found Boyce out on the wing, who pump faked two defenders, then stepped back, and drilled the 3-pointer to tie the game at 53-53. After a costly WWU turnover, Chavez was fouled with seven seconds left and put SMU ahead with two free throws. With a chance to tie or take the lead, the Vikings fired the ball into the stands on a turnover, and Chavez calmly knocked the two free throws on the following possession to seal the victory.
 
Simon Fraser Upsets No. 13 Saints Inside Marcus Pavilion – The shooting woes of the Saints continued to plague them on their home court; however, this time, Saint Martin's was unable to find a way to conjure up some magic for the win. Simon Fraser pulled off the biggest upset of the GNAC men's basketball season, knocking off the Saints 61-59 on their home court.
 
Offensive rebounds by the Clan, 11 in the second half, 11-for-34 3-point shooting by the Saints, and the game-winning basket with five seconds all led to win for Simon Fraser. The Saints had opportunities to pull away in the game, including a 26-13 lead, but Simon Fraser battled all 40 minutes to give themselves a chance at the win. Ultimately, on the final possessions, Julian Roche (24 points, 10 rebounds) converted the game winning shot, while the Saints' attempt missed off the side of the rim.
 
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. The Saints moved up from 15 to 11, eclipsing their No. 13 ranking back in 2009.
 
Luke Chavez Selected To Bevo Francis Top 100 Watchlist - The senior guard has played in 16 games this season, and is second on the team in scoring 12.9 points per game. In 26 minutes of action, Chavez averages 2.6 rebounds per game, 2.6 assists per game, and 1.3 steals per game. Chavez has been efficient on the offensive end of the floor, shooting 45.1 percent from the field, 38.9 percent from beyond the arc, and 79.3 percent at the line. Luke Chavez becomes the first ever Saint to be named to the Watchlist since it was created in 2015.

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.

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.
