SAN BRUNO, Calif. — The West Coast Conference officially announced the conference matchups for the upcoming season as part of the 16-game format that was introduced last year as part of the Conference's Men's Basketball Enhancement Plan. With the new schedule, each team will play two less conference games and face two opponents only once during the regular season.
Next year, the Gaels will only take on Portland at home and Pepperdine on the road. They will play the remaining seven conference teams twice during the season.
Last season, Saint Mary's did not host Loyola Marymount nor travel to Portland under the first year of the Enhancement Plan.
