14. Saint Mary’s Gaels

The nation’s most efficient squad last season is still playing great offense so far this year. The Gaels are tied for 13th in team shooting percentage during their 4-0 start. The team has a game coming against solid mid-major UAB. That is their biggest test before opening WCC play.

Jock Landale is one of the most improved players this season and leads the Saint Mary’s attack. The 6’11” junior is on a tear, putting up 21.3 points, 9.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game. He is also one of the nation’s best shooters at 75 percent.

Two other Gaels are averaging double-figures. This team has no real holes and has a real chance to win the WCC regular season and tournament titles. I love Saint Mary’s potential.
