LAS VEGAS — In the second round of the 2021 UCU WCC Basketball Tournament, seventh-seeded Saint Mary's opened up their portion of tournament play against sixth-seeded Pacific. These teams closed out the regular season one week ago, with Pacific defeating the Gaels by 19. SMC proved that this week is a new week, coming out of the gates hot, aggressive, and with stifling defense. The end result was an impressive upset win for Saint Mary's, 69-55, over Pacific to advance to the tournament quarterfinals on Saturday afternoon.
