No. 18 Saint Mary's College basketball team, with a record of 23-6 (14-0 in the West Coast Conference), extended their winning streak to 15 games, the longest in the nation, after defeating San Diego with a score of 88-62. This victory clinched them the No. 1 seed in the upcoming West Coast Conference (WCC) tournament and at least a share of the conference's regular-season title. The Gaels' winning streak began to gain attention when they were trailing San Francisco 51-50 with 7:30 to play but managed to secure a win with a final score of 70-66, marking their 14th consecutive victory, extending from a 13-game winning streak. Saint Mary's is now three wins away from being the first non-Gonzaga team since the 1991-92 Pepperdine Waves to go unbeaten in WCC play, moving them to 13-0 in league. The team's success has been achieved despite the absence of backup big man Harry Wessels, who injured his shoulder in practice.
