MORAGA, Calif. — For the fourth consecutive year, the Gaels (28-5) are dancing! Saint Mary's secured a seven seed in the 2025 NCAA Tournament, and will head to Cleveland, Ohio to take on 10th seed, the Vanderbilt Commodores. The Gaels won the 2025 WCC Regular Season Title for a program record third straight year, winning the conference by a three game margin, their largest ever. They will now head to Rocket Arena, home of the Cleveland Cavaliers, as part of the East Region of this year's Big Dance.

The Gaels opponent in the opening round will be the 10th seeded Vanderbilt Commodores (20-12), who will be making their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2017.
