Saint Mary's will try to add to its impressive win total when the 20th-ranked Gaels visit Pepperdine in a West Coast Conference game Thursday night at Firestone Fieldhouse in Malibu, Calif.
Saint Mary's (24-3, 14-2 WCC) has won two in a row and nine of its last 10 games, the only blemish during that stretch being a 74-64 loss to top-ranked Gonzaga on Feb. 11. The Gaels, who will conclude the regular season at home against Santa Clara on Saturday, are two games behind Gonzaga in the WCC.
Pepperdine (9-19, 5-11) is tied with San Diego for seventh in the WCC.
