MBB | Strong Defensive Effort Not Enough Against Gaels
SAN FRANCISCO – While offensively inconsistent at times tonight against visiting Saint Mary's, the University of San Francisco men's basketball team had no choice but to lean on its defense in Thursday's 69-58 loss to St. Mary's — Golden's first game against mentor Randy Bennett.
That defense, along with a milestone night for Charles Minlend, kept things close against a Gaels team that looks Tournament-bound once again, but that wasn't enough to overcome a season-worst shooting night by the Dons and their second straight sub-par rebounding night.
"This game kind of went a lot differently than I anticipated, to be honest," Golden said.
