MORAGA, Calif. — Selection Sunday came and went, and Saint Mary's men's basketball now knows where and when they will be playing in the opening round of the 2023 NCAA. For the second year in a row, Saint Mary's is a number-five seed in the tournament, and will be playing in Albany on Friday, March 17 against VCU.
Saint Mary's is returning to the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive season, the second time in program history they have done so, with the other time from 2012-13. This is the 13th trip to the NCAA Tournament for Saint Mary's in program history, including the canceled 2020 NCAA Tournament, and the tenth time under head coach Randy Bennett.
