22. Saint Mary’s Gaels

Previous ranking: 19

Record: 15-2 (5-1 WCC)

Last week was a tale of two games for the Gaels. They dominated Portland in Portland, but got crushed in the second half at Gonzaga. The first opportunity to rebound for SMC comes against Pacific.

Calvin Hermanson scored a career-high 27 points in the win over the Pilots on the road. It was a tremendous performance for the Gael in front of his hometown. Hermanson is the second leading scorer on the team as he puts up 12.2 points. He is also just one of five players shooting over 40 percent from deep. This team might not have the firepower to overcome Gonzaga, but they are still a fun and efficient show in the West Coast Conference.
