PALM SPRINGS, Calif. — All eyes will be on the Saint Mary's Men's Basketball team over Thanksgiving weekend, as the Gaels will take part in the star-studded Acrisure Classic on November 28 and 29. The tournament will feature some of the top west coast college basketball programs, as the Gaels will join New Mexico, Arizona State and USC on the Thursday and Friday of Thanksgiving week at the Acrisure Arena in Palm Springs.
The Gaels have seen the New Mexico Lobos in each of the last two seasons in Moraga, splitting those two meetings. In program history, Saint Mary's has met up with Arizona State twice, defeating the Sun Devils in both of those meetings (1954 and 2019).
